Impact of the low atmospheric pressure

a. a balloon is filled at sea level on a spring day (temperature 200c) to a volume of 0.500 m3 and then brought atop of mount everest the same day (temperature -200c). how does its volume change? what is the percent change?
b. what is the air density atop of mount everest on a summer day (at a pressure of 3.30 x 104 n/m2 and a temperature of -190c)? how is it different from the density of air in standard conditions (at a pressure of 1.01 x 105n/m2 and a temperature of 200 c the air density is1.28 kg/m3). the molar mass of air is 28.8 g/mole.

Consider the market for gasoline. suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of gasoline is $3.00 per gallon, and employees at gas stations earn $17.50 per hour. complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it results in a shortage or a surplus or has no effect on the price and quantity that prevail in the market. statement price control effect the government has instituted a legal minimum price of $3.40 per gallon for gasoline. the government prohibits gas stations from selling gasoline for more than $3.40 per gallon. due to new regulations, gas stations that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from paying more than $14.50 per hour.
