TUTORIAL 6: THE GASES STATE

1. The pressure of a gas sample was measured to be 654 mmHg. Calculate the pressure in
kPa?

2. A sample of a gas occupies 1.40 × 10 mL at 25°C and 760 mmHg. What volume will it
3

occupy at the same temperature and 380 mmHg?

3. A sample of nitrogen gas has a volume of 32.4 L at 20°C. The gas is heated to 220 C at
O

constant pressure. What is the final volume of nitrogen?

4. Calculate the number of moles of gas contained in a 10.0 L tank at 22°C and 105 atm. (R
= 0.08206 L⋅atm/K⋅mol)

5. A 1.2 L flask contains 0.500 mole of ammonia (NH3) at 150°C. Calculate the pressure of
the ammonia inside the flask.
