2. A container holds 650 litres of air at a pressure of 2 atm. If the pressure on the gas is increased to 5 atm, what
will its volume become? (Assume that the temperature remains constant). [3]
4. Butane has a volume of 0.05 m3 at a pressure of 100 kPa and the temperature of 200C. What is the
temperature is needed to heat gas to a volume of 0.4 m3 at the constant pressure? [3]

5. A container holds 450 mL of Oxygen at 27 0C and a pressure of 760 mmHg.
What will be its volume if the temperature increases by 45 0C? [3]
a) Draw a graph to show how the volume of gas varies with temperature. [3]
c) Use your graph to find the temperature of the gas when its volume is zero.

7. If we have a gas that at 10 degrees Celsius occupies 2.4 liters, calculate the final temperature, if at the end
it occupies 2.15 liters. [3]
8. Explain why :
(a) The increase in pressure of a gas when its volume is decreased at constant temperature. [2]
(b) The decrease in volume of a gas when its temperature is decreased at constant pressure. [2]
