1. A container holds 50.0 mL of nitrogen at 25 C and a pressure of 736 mm Hg.

What will be its volume if the temperature increases by 35 C?
V2 = 50.0 mL x (35+273) K/(25+273)K = 51.7 mL N2
2. A sample of oxygen occupies a volume of 160 dm3 at 91 C. What will be volume
of oxygen when the temperature drops to 0.00 C?
V1 = 160 dm

x 273 K/364 K = 120 dm

3. A sample of hydrogen has an initial temperature of 50. C. When the
temperature is lowered to -5.0 C, the volume of hydrogen becomes 212 cm3.
What was the initial volume of the hydrogen in dm3?
V1 = 212 cm

4. 568 cm3 of chlorine at 25 C will occupy what volume at -25 C while the
pressure remains constant?
V2 = 568 cm

x 248 K/298 K = 473 cm

5. A sample of helium has a volume of 521 dm3 at a pressure of 75 cm Hg and a
temperature of 18 C. When the temperature is increased to 23 C, what is the
volume of the helium?
V2 = 521 dm
3
x 296 K/291 K = 530. dm

He
6. 600.0 mL of air is at 20.0 C. What is the volume at 60.0 C?
V2= 600.0mL x (60.0+273)K/(20.0+273)K= 681.9mL
7. A gas occupies 900.0 mL at a temperature of 27.0 C. What is the volume at 132.0
C?
V2= 900.0mLx (132.0+273)K/(27.0+273)K= 1215mL
8. The temperature of a 4.00 L sample of gas is changed from 10.0 C to 20.0 C.
What will the volume of this gas be at the new temperature if the pressure is held
constant?
V2= 4.00Lx (20.0+273)K/(10.0+273)K= 4.14L
9. A gas occupies 1.00 L at standard temperature. What is the volume at 333.0 C?
V2= 1.00Lx (0+273)K/(333.0+273)K= 0.450L
10. Calculate the decrease in temperature when 2.00 L at 20.0 C is compressed to
1.00 L.
T2= 1.00Lx (20.0+273)K/2.00L= 147.K
