Atmospheric pressure on the peak of Mt, Everest can be as low as 150.0 mmHg, which is why climbers need to bring oxygen tanks for the last part of the climb. If the climbers carry 10.00 L tanks with an internal gas pressure of 3.400 x 10⁴ mmHg, what will be the volume of the gas be when it is released from the tanks?

Answer:

The volume of the gas when it is released from the tanks will be equal to 10.00 L x (150.0 mmHg / 3.400 x 10⁴ mmHg) = 0.004412 L.
