Boyle’s Law
1. A gas has a volume of 300 mL at 300 mm Hg. What will its volume be if the pressure is changed to 500
mm Hg?
2. A gas has a volume of 460 mL at 500. mm Hg. What will be the volume at 1.2 atm?
Charles’s Law
3. A gas has a volume of 4.0 liters at 50. oC. What will its volume be (in liters) at 100? oC?
4. A gas has a volume of 350 mL at 45 oC. If the volume changes to 400 mL, what is the new temperature?
(answer in oC)
Gay-Lussac’s Law
5. The gases in a hair spray can are at a temperature of 27 oC and a pressure of 30 atm. If the gases in the
can reach a pressure of 90 atm, the can will explode. To what temperature must the gases be raised in
order for the can to explode? Assume constant volume.
6. Maybelline Cousteau’s backup oxygen tank reads 900 mmHg while on her boat, where the temperature is
27 oC. When she dives down to the bottom of an unexplored methane lake on a recently-discovered moon
of Neptune, the temperature will drop down to –183 oC. What will the pressure in her backup tank be at
that temperature?
