An inflated balloon has a volume of 151 L at sea level (1.00 atm), and is allowed to ascend until the pressure is 0.761 atm. During ascent, the temperature of the gas falls from 35°C to -14°C.  What is the volume of the balloon at its final altitude?

A gas-filled balloon has an initial volume of 3.53 L at 2.30 atm and 61°C.  What is the final volume (in L) of the balloon if the pressure and temperature are adjusted to 76.3 kPa and 8°C? Show all work, and highlight your answer in a readable background color.

The combustion of liquid carbon disulfide produces carbon dioxide gas and sulfur dioxide gas.  What volume (in L) of sulfur dioxide gas is produced along with 83.1 kJ of heat under standard thermochemical conditions?  Assume 100% yield. Show all work, using dimensional analysis wherever possible, and highlight your final answer in a readable background color.

The pressure of a gas sample is measured with a closed-ended manometer containing mercury, as shown in the figure below.  What is the pressure of the gas sample, in torr?
