6. If volume is to be measured in cubic feet, pressure in standard atmospheres, temperature


in degrees Kelvin, and moles in lb moles, evaluate the gas constant for this system of
units.
7. Four pounds of methane are placed in a tank at 60oF. If the pressure on the tank is 100 psia, what
is the volume of the tank?

8. A 2 ft3 tank contains gas at 1000 psig and at 60oF. This tank is connected to another tank
of unknown volume containing the same gas at 14.7 psia and 60oF. The two tanks are
allowed to come to equillibrium, and when this is accomplished the pressure is 650 psig
and the temperature is 60oF. What is the volume of the tank?
