Notes:
1. Temperatures must be in K, where K =°C + 273.
If you need to convert BACK -°C=K-273.
2. A gas has a volume of 460 mL at 500 mm Hg. What will be the volume at 1.2 atm?
3. A gas has a volume of 5 liters at 3 atm. To expand the volume to 7500 ml, what the new pressure
(in atm) have to be?
Charles’ Law
4. A gas has a volume of 4 liters at 50 oC. What will its volume be (in liters) at 100oC?
5. A gas has a volume of 350 ml at 45oC. If the volume changes to 400 ml, what is the new
temperature? (answer in oC)
Gay-Lussac’s Law
6. The gases in a hair spray can are at a temperature of 27 oC and a pressure of 30 lbs/in2. If the gases in the
can reach a pressure of 90 lbs/in2, the can will explode. To what temperature must the gases be raised in
order for the can to explode? Assume constant volume. (answer in oC)
7. Maybelline Cousteau’s backup oxygen tank reads 900 mmHg while on her boat, where the temperature is
27oC. 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 –183oC. What will the pressure in her backup tank be at that
temperature?
Combined Gas Law
8. A gas has a volume of 39 liters at STP. What will its volume be at 4 atm and 25oC?
9. 400 ml of a gas is contained at 300 mm Hg and 0oC. What will its volume be in mL at 140 mm Hg
and 10oC?
10. 500 ml of gas is contained at STP. The volume changes to 560 ml at 20oC and what pressure (in
atm)?
Avogadro’s Law and Molar Volume at STP (1 mole of any gas = 22.4 L at STP)
11. 50 g of nitrogen (N2) has a volume of ___ liters at STP.
12. 100 g of oxygen (O2) is added to the gas in Question 11. What is the volume of the combined gases
at STP.
15) Blast furnaces give off many unpleasant and unhealthy gases. If the total air pressure is 0.99 atm, the
partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 0.05 atm, and the partial pressure of hydrogen sulfide is 0.02 atm, what
is the partial pressure of the remaining air?
16) If the remaining air from problem 15 contains 22% oxygen, what is the partial pressure of oxygen near a
blast furnace?
