If a car is traveling at 43.0 miles per hour, contains 3 gallons of gas, and gets 22.5 miles per gallon, can it travel to a station 114.9 km away?
If so how many hours will it take? How much gas (if any) is left upon arrival?
If not, how far will it go before it runs out of gas? How much more gas would it need to reach the destination?
In an adult human, fully expanded lungs have a total lung capacity
(TLC) of about 6 L. Some air remains after complete exhalation, and
this volume is the functional residual capacity (FRC).
A specific person has a known functional residual lung capacity (FRC)
of 2.53 L and a total lung capacity (TLC) of 5.06 L. This person is in a
room with an atmospheric pressure of 758.2 mmHg. Their internal
temperature is 37.20 °C. How many moles of gas are exhaled with
each breath?

It’s a bad day in the lab! Two students are doing experiments. Each is 20 feet away from the professor. At the same time, each of them lets the same amount of a smelly gas into the room. One of them releases ammonia, NH3, and the other releases SO2. NH3 has a pungent odor, and SO2 smells like rotten eggs. The professor has no idea that this has happened, until she smell the first gas. Which chemical will the professor smell first? (NH3 or SO2) .
