1. A gas occupies 4.31 liters at a pressure of 0.755 atm. Determine the

volume if the pressure is increased to 1.25 atm.
Step 1 Identify the given and what is ask. Given:
V1 = 4.31 L
P1= 0.755 atm
P2= 1.25 atm

Find:
V2=?

Step 2 Write the formula to be used.

Step 3 Solve.

(0.755 atm)( 4.31 L) = (1.25 atm) (v2)

0.755 atm x 4.31 L 1.25 atm x V 2

=
1.25 atm 1.25 atm

0.755 atm x 4.31 L

=V 2
1.25 atm
2.60324 L = V 2

2.6 L = V 2

2. A gas occupies 1.00 L at standard temperature. What is the volume at

333.0 °C?
Step 1 Identify the given and what is ask. Given:
V1= 1.00L
T1= 273.15K
T2=333 C

Find:
V2=?
Step 2 Write the formula to be used.

Step 3 If temperature is not in Kelvin, always make

sure to convert it first before you start solving.
T2=333 C

°C + 273.15 K

333 °C + 273.15= 606.15K

Step 4 Solve.

1L V2
=
273.15 K 606.15 K

(1L)(606.15K) = (v2)(273.15K)

1 L x 606.15 K 273.15 K x V 2
=
273.15 K 273.15 K

V2= 2.2 L
Gay Lussac’s Law

3. A gas has a pressure of 699.0 mmHg at 40.0 °C. What is the temperature
at standard pressure?
Step 1 Identify the given and what is ask. Given:
P1=699.0 mmHg
T1 = 40.0 °C
P2 = 760 mmHg

Find: T2=?

Step 2 Write the formula to be used.

Step 3 If temperature is not in Kelvin, always make

sure to convert it first before you start solving. T1 = 40.0 °C

T1 = 313.15K

Step 4 Solve.

699.0 mmHg 760 mmHg

=
313.15 K T2

(699.0 mmHg)(T 2 ¿ = (313.15K)(760 mmHg)

(699.0 mmHg)(T 2 ¿ = 237,994 K•mmHg

(699.0 mmHg)(T 2 ) 237,994 K • mmHg

=
(699.0 mmHg) (699.0mmHg)

T2 = 340.47 K

4. 5.00 L of a gas is known to contain 0.965 mol. If the amount of gas is

increased to 1.80 mol, what new volume will result (at an unchanged
temperature and pressure)?
Step 1 Identify the given and what is ask. Given:
V1= 5 L
n1= 0.965 mol
n2= 1.80 mol

Find: v2=?

Step 2 Write the formula to be used.

Step 3 Solve.

5L v2
=
0.965 mol 1.80 mol
(0.965mol)( v 2 ¿=(5 L)(1.80mol )

(0.965 mol)(v 2) 9 L •mol

=
0.965 mol 0.965 mol

V2 = 9.32L

5. At what temperature would 2.10 moles of N2 gas have a pressure of 1.25 atm and in a 25.0 L tank?
Step 1 Identify the given and what is ask. Given:
n=2.10mol N2
P= 1.25atm
V= 25 L
R= 8.314 atm•L/mol•K

Find: T=?

Step 2 Convert °C to °K.

Step Write the formula to be used. PV=nRT

3
Step 4 Solve. PV=nRT
(1.25atm)(25L)= (2.10mol)( 8.314 atm•L/mol•K)(T)
31.25atm•L = (17.4594 atm•L/K) (T)

31.25 atm• L (17.4594 atm • L/ K )(T )

=
17.4594 atm • L/ K 17.4594 atm • L/ K

1.79 K =T
