12. In a thermonuclear device, the pressure of 0.050 liters of gas within a bomb casing reaches 4.0 x 106 atm. When the bomb is destroyed by the explosion, the gas released reaches a pressure of 775 mm Hg. What is the volume of gas, in liters, after the explosion assuming the temperature remains constant (which is a bit of a stretch!)? 13. A man heats a balloon in an oven.
