John, who is an environmental scientist, wanted to be reminded why balloons that
carry his scientific instruments into the upper atmosphere expand as they rise. Amelia
is an artist who recently began to add neon lights to her work. After bending the tubes
into the desired shape, she fills them with gas from a high pressure cylinder. She wanted
to know how to determine the number of tubes she can fill with one cylinder.
Lilia’s sister Rebecca, the oldest, is a chemical engineer who could answer Ted’s,
John’s, and Amelia’s questions, but to give Lilia an opportunity to use her new
knowledge, she keeps quiet except to describe a gas-related issue of her own. Rebecca
is helping to design an apparatus in which two gases will react at high temperature,
and her responsibility is to equip the reaction vessel with a valve that will keep the
pressure from rising to dangerous levels. She started to explain to Lilia why increased
temperature leads to increased pressure, but when Lilia asked what gas pressure was
and what caused it, Rebecca realized that she had better save her explanation for the
