Study Notes

Pressure and Atmosphere

  • 1 atmosphere is equal to 14.7 psi (pounds per square inch)
  • American Engineering Unit for pressure is psi, which is equivalent to lb/in2

Barometer

  • Used to measure atmospheric pressure

Pressure Calculation

  • Total pressure (Ptotal) can be calculated using the formula: Pi = (0.25 × 0.20 m2) × Ptotal
  • Example calculation: Pi = (0.25 × 0.20 m2) × 760 torr = 590 torr

Ideal Gas Equation

  • The equation is: P1V1 = P2V2
  • Example problem:
    • Initial conditions: P1 = 18.5 atm, V1 = 50.0 L, T1 = 294K
    • Final conditions: P2 = 1.0 atm, T2 = 294K
    • Solution: V2 = (50.0 L) × (18.5 atm) / (1.0 atm) = 925 L
