IMPORTANT: whenever you use temperature, it must be in degree Kelvin (K), so remember
the equation: K = oC + 273
2. A gas has an initial volume of 2.75 L at a temperature of 285 K. If the temperature changes
to 380 K, what is the new volume of the gas if the pressure is unchanged?
3. Gas can often be cooled by compressing it while keeping the pressure constant. If I have
45.0 L of gas at room temperature (22oC) and I compress it so that the final volume is 0.50 L,
what is the final temperature of the gas if the pressure is constant?
4. The volume of a gas is 2.5 L when the pressure is at standard pressure (101.325 kPa). What
is the volume of the gas if the pressure decreases to 85 kPa and the temperature remains
unchanged?
5. A 5.0 L container of gas experiences a temperature change so that the final temperature is 4
times the initial temperature. What is the size of the container after the temperature change?
(Assume constant pressure.)
6. At 45oC the volume of a certain gas is 27.5 L and the pressure is 210 kPa. What is the
volume of the gas at standard temperature (273 K) and 310 kPa of pressure?
7. The pressure of a sample of gas was 97.8 kPa and the volume of the gas was 3.75 L. If the
gas occupied a container with a volume of 8.00 L, what would the pressure in the container
be?
8. Isothermal expansion refers to allowing a gas to expand while keeping the temperature
constant. This is one means to simulate a vacuum. If a gas originally at 97 kPa is allowed to
expand from 0.25 L to 182 L, what is the pressure of the gas?
9. A gas is initially at a pressure of 225 kPa and a temperature of 245 K in a container that is 4.5
L. If the gas is compressed to a volume of 2.1 L and the temperature changes to 275 K, what
is the new pressure?

1. Under water where the temperature is 17oC and the pressure is 394 kPa, a diver inhales 2.1 L
of air from his SCUBA tank.
a) How many moles of gas are in his lungs?
b) If the diver swims to the surface without exhaling where the temperature is 32oC and
the pressure changes to 100.2 kPa, what will the volume of the air in his lungs be?
3. On planet X, 2.78 moles of a gas takes up 1.85 L under a pressure of 74.1 kPa and a
temperature of 201oC. What is the value of the ideal gas constant (R) on planet X? (include
units)
4. At a pressure of 103 kPa and a temperature of 22oC, 52.9 g of a certain gas has a volume of
31.5 L. What is the identity of this gas? (Hint: find the molar mass of the gas and match it
with the periodic table.)
5. Some oxygen gas has a volume of 41.0 L under a pressure of 245 kPa and a temperature of
279 K. What is the mass of the gas?
6. 17.5 mL of oxygen gas were collected at room temperature (22oC) and 100.2 kPa of
atmospheric pressure.
b) What is the molar volume of the oxygen gas at the conditions in the laboratory?
1. In a reaction, 24.9 L of N2 reacts with excess H2 to produce NH3. How many liters of
NH3 were produced? How many grams of NH3 is this? The pressure in the lab is 97.8
kPa and the temperature was 23.7oC.
2. If 22.5 L of oxygen reacted with excess hydrogen, how many liters of water vapor
(gaseous water) could be produced?
3. The combustion of a certain wax can be represented by the following balanced equation:
C22H44 + 33 O2 22 CO2 + 22 H2O
If 185g of wax (C22H44) burns, how many liters of oxygen gas were used up? Assume the
conditions in the lab are 101 kPa and 25oC.
4. Zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. How many liters of
hydrogen can be produced at STP if 13.5g of zinc are reacted with excess HCl?
Zn + 2 HCl H2 + ZnCl2
5. If 210g of hydrogen gas react in an atmosphere of excess nitrogen, how many liters of
NH3 can be produced? Assume condtions are at STP.

over water at 35oC and 95 kPa of pressure according to the balanced equation,
Zn + 2 HCl H2 + ZnCl2. How many moles of HCl were used up in the reaction?
3. A gas was collected in a 2.0 L container over water at 40oC and the pressure in the
container was 105 kPa. What would be the volume of the gas at STP?
