1. Typical temperatures in the interior of the Earth and Sun are about `4.0 times 10^3°C` and `15times10^6°C`, respectively. (a) What are these temperatures in kelvins? (b) What percent error is made in each case if a person forgets to change °C to K?

4. A tank contains `26.0\ kg` of `O_2` gas at a gauge pressure of `8.70\ atm`. If the oxygen is replaced by helium, how many kilograms of the latter will be needed to produce a gauge pressure of `7.00\ atm`?

5. If `61.5\ L` of oxygen at `18.0°C` and an absolute pressure of `2.45\ atm` are compressed to `48.8\ L` and at the same time the temperature is raised to `50.0°C`, what will the new pressure be?
