studying for upcoming exam and I have run into a few questions I could use some help with! I don’t just need the answers but some help determining them! Any assistance would be great!

Well, that would be a good question for the OP. I would try working the two parts of the problem separately at first. If you held the pressure constant, what would the volume change due to temperature be? And vice versa, if you held the temperature constant, what would the volume change due to pressure. I worked this but got a slightly different answer so I don't want to potentially put anyone on the wrong path. I definitely recommend doing it in metric, though, much easier to calculate the pressure in meters.I think in question 44, the water temperature is irrelevant and designed to fool you into thinking you need to account for it in the calculations.
Ahhha progress on #44 General gas law! P1 V1/ T1 = P2 V2/ T 2 and yes you need to convert to Rainken for absolute temperature so add 273.
You add 492 to Fahrenheit to convert to Rankine. The 273 is for converting from Celsius to Kelvin.I learned something, there is a Fahrenheit equivalent to Kelvin called Rankine. Who would have guessed?
That's also one hell of a thermocline.
