question
Boyle's Law
answer
states that the volume of the gas varies inversely to the pressure on the gas, while temperature and number of moles are kept constant (PV= constant).
question
Charles's Law
answer
states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas, while pressure and number of moles are kept constant (V/T=constant). All temperature must be in kelvins when used in gas law calculations.
question
Avogadro's Law
answer
states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas, while pressure and temperature are kept constant (V/n=constant)
question
Define molar volume for a gas at STP.
answer
The molar volume of an ideal gas is the volume occupied by one mole of gas at T=0C(273K) and P= 1.00 atm).
How does the density of gas depend on temperature?
answer
The density will decrease as temperature increases.
question
How does the density of gas depend on pressure?
answer
The density will increase as pressure increases.
question
How does the density of a gas depend on the molar mass of the gas?
answer
The density will increase as molar mass of the gas increases.
question
On a rainy day, a barometer reads 745 mmHg. Convert this value to atmospheres.
answer
Remember that 1 atm=760 mmHg= 101,325 Pa.
745mmHg/760mmHg = 0.980 atm.
The standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1 atm (760 mmHg). Higher pressure usually means sunny and dry weather, and lower pressure often brings clouds and precipitation.
question
A closed container is filled with oxygen. The pressure in the contaier is 375,000 Pa. What is the pressure in millimeters of mercury?
answer
Remember that 1 atm= 760 mmHg= 101,325 Pa.
So, 375,000 Pa X (760 mmHg/101,325 Pa) = 2812.73 mmHg or 2810 mmHg.
question
What is the pressure (in atmospheres) of the gas inside the container connected to an open-end, mercury-filled manometer. The atmospheric pressure is 0.95 atm. With a gas tube measurement of 18 cm.
answer
The idea is that you read the manometer directly as gauge pressure (pressure relative to atmospheric).
end open to atmopshere means the pressure in the vessel is 18cmHg > than atmospheric.
Pvessel= 0.95 atm + 18cmHg= 0.95 atm = (18cmHg X 1 atm/ 76 mmhG)= 1.19 atm.
Mercury is used in barometers and manometers because it has the higest density among liquids at room temperature (13.6 g/mL). It is possible to make a manometer filled with any liquid, and it would work, but the tube would need to be much longer. When the density of a liquid is low, relatively small changes in pressure would result in large changes in the level of the liquid.
question
One mole of an ideal gas is sealed in a 22.4-L container at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 273 K. The temperature is then increased to 310.K , but the container does not expand. What will the new pressure be?
The most appropriate formula for solving this problem includes only which variables?
You have determined in Part A that P and T are the only variables needed in the formula. Which of the following relationships holds?
PT is constant
P/T is constant
answer
1.14 atm
The number of moles and liters were given, but they are not necessary for solving the problem.
P,T.
Since temperature increases, it must be included in your formula. Since you are solving for pressure, it much also be included. However, since the number of moles and the volume remain the same, they can be excluded.
P/T is constant.
Since the quantity P/T is constant, it follows that P1/T1=P2/T2.
question
Avagadro's Law states that at a given temperature and pressure, what quantity is constant?
answer
V/n
Since V and n are directly proportional, the quantity V/n will always have the same value at a given pressure and temperature.
question
If it takes three "breaths" to blow up a balloon to 1.2L, and each breath supplies the balloon with 0.060 moles of exhaled air, how many moles of air are in a 3.0 L balloon
answer
.45 mol
because V1/n1=V2/n2
n2= V2Xn1/V1= 3.0L X (3 breaths X .06 mol/breath)/ 1.2L
n2=0.45
question
According to Charle's law, for a fixed quantity of gas at a constant pressure, which of the given quantities is constant?
answer
V/T
question
A balloon was filled to a volume of 2.50 L when the temperature was 30.0 C. What would the volume become if the temperature dropped to 11.0C.
answer
2.34 L
The first step is to change the temperature to K. So 30.0+273.15=303.15, and 11.0+273.15=284.15.
So, 2.50L/303.15=X/284.15.
=2.34L
question
Refrigerators are usually kept at about 5C, while room temperature is about 20C. If you were to take an "empty" sealed 2-liter soda bottle at room temperature and place it in the fridge, would you expect it to contract to one-fourth its original volume?
answer
No, because Celsius is not an absolute temperature scale.
Note that 20C=293K and 5C=278K.
So the temperature has not decreased by very much at all, certainly not by a factor of four. Therefore, the change in size of the plastic bottle would not be very noticeable.
question

answer
350 mmHg
question
A 50.0 mL sample of gas in a cylinder is warmed from 18C to 86 C.
What is its volume at the final temperature?
answer
61.7 mL.
Change C into K.

50.0mL/291.15 = V2/359.15=61.7mL
question
How many air molecules are in a 14.0 X 12.0 X 10.0 ft room? Assume atmospheric pressure of 1.00 atm, a room temperature of 20.0C, and ideal behavior.
Volume conversions: There are 28.2 liters in one cubic foot.
answer
Change 20C to 293.15K.
(14 X 12 X 10) X (28.2 L/ft^3) X (273.15/293.15) / (22.4 L/mol) X (6.022 X 10^23 molecules/mol) 1.18 X 10^27 molecules.
22.4 is STP.
question
What is the volume occupied by 12.8g of argon gas at a pressure of 1.32 atm and a temperature of 315K?
answer
PV=nRT
P= 1.32 atm
V=?
n= 12.8/39.948 (molar mass)- .3204
R=0.08206
T=315K.
(1.32atm)V=(.3204)X (0.08206) X (315)
=6.26 L
question
Compare the volume of 12.8g of helium to 12.8g of argon gas under indentical conditions
answer
(1.32)(V)=(3.19)X(0.08206)(315)=62.47
The volume would be greater for helium gas.
Helium has a lower atomic mass than argon. The same mass of helium gas would contain a greater number of moles and have a larger volume.

question
Air is about 78% nitrogen molecules and 21.0% oxygen molecules. Several other gases make up the remaining 1% of air molecules.
What is the partial pressure of nitrogen at atmpsheric pressure (1 atm)? Assume ideal behavior.
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in air at atmopsheric pressure (1 atm) Assume ideal behavior.
answer
n2= .780 atm because
78 (from the 78%)
78/100=0.78
O2= 21 (beccause 21% oxygen)
21/100= .21 atm

answer
Find the moles of N2
PV=nRT
(.78 atm of N2) (2 L)= n(0.08206 L-atm/mol-K) X (298.15)
=0.0638 mol of n2

(.21 atm of O2) X (2 L)= n(0.08206 L-atm/mol-k) X (298.15)
=0.017

-There are gas molecules that move faster than the average.
-The average kinetic energy of gas molecules increases with increasing temperature
answer
-The average speed of gas molecules decreases with decreasing temperature.
-All the gas molecules in a sample cannot have the same kinetic energy.
-There are gas molecules that move faster than the average.
-The average kinetic energy of gas molecules increase with increasing temperature.
question
Which statements about a sample of gas containing molecules of different masses are true?
-More massive gas molecules in the sample have lower rms speed than less massive ones.
-The rms speed depends only on temperature, and so allt ypes of particles in the sample have the same rms speed.
-More-massive gas molecules in the sample have higher rms speed than less-massive ones.
answer
More massive gas molecules in the sample have lower rms speed than less massive ones.
The average kintetic energy depeneds only on the temperature. However, a heavier molecule will move more slowly than a lighter molecule if they both have the same kinetic energy.

answer
STP is defined as 0C and 1 atm pressure.
The thing to know is that 1 mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.414 liters at STP.
(.0600L)/(22.414 L/mol) X (6 mol Li/ 1 mol N2) X (6.9412 g Li/mol)= 0.111 g Li
