For a coefficient of linear expansion a of 20 x 10^® 1/°C
and a temperature change AT of 44 °C, calculate the
fractional change of length given by a AT. (The x

Whenever you must use absolute temperatures in a compound unit or
expression, be sure to enter the temperatures using absolute scale.
The HP 48 will not convert from °C or °F to the absolute scale
correctly once the temperature has become a part of a combined
expression.
The ideal gas equation of state is PV = nRT, where P
is the pressure exerted by the gas (in atmospheres), V
is the volume of the gas (in liters), n is the amount of
the gas (in moles), R is the ideal gas constant (0.082057
liter-atmospheres/kelvirnmole), and T is the temperature
of the gas (in kelvins).
Assuming ideal gas behavior, calculate the pressure
exerted b}^ 0.305 mole of oxygen in a volume of 0.950 liter
at 150 °C.
