Gas Laws

Summative Assessment

Solve the following exercises in your notebook. Sketch the situation and indicate
the Gas Law that corresponds to.

a) 2.20 L of air at 1.10 atm is allowed to expand to fill a 6.30 L container. Find the final
pressure.
b) A balloon is inflated to a volume of 1.25 L. If the temperature of the air inside is cooled from 35C
to 15C, what will be the final volume of the balloon?
c) A sample of nitrogen in a rigid container that is originally at 25.0C and 98.0 kPa is heated until
the pressure is 177 kPa. What is the final temperature in Kelvin? In degrees Celsius?
d) A 5.25 L sample of oxygen gas at 720. torr and 35C is compressed to a volume of 3.80 L while
being heated to 78C. What is the new pressure?
e) 3.30 moles of a gas occupies 95.0 L. If the gas is allowed to escape until the volume is 41.0 L,
how many moles of the gas remain?
f) 400.0 mL of helium is held in a container at 1.1 atm and a temperature of -5.0C. If the gas then
escapes into a 2.0 L container while the pressure drops to 0.90 atm, what is the final temperature
of the helium in degrees Celsius?
g) 2.0 liters of hydrogen is held in a rigid container at STP. If the temperature is dropped to -65.0C,
what is the resulting pressure in mmHg?
h) 870 mL of gas at a pressure of 47.4 kPa is brought to standard pressure. If the temperature
remains constant, what is the final volume?
i) A cylinder with a movable piston contains 2.00 g of helium, He, at room temperature. More
helium was added to the cylinder and the volume was adjusted so that the gas pressure
remained the same. How many grams of helium were added to the cylinder if the volume was
changed from 2.00 L to 2.70 L?
j) A flexible container at an initial volume of 5.120 L contains 8.500 mol of gas. More gas is then
added to the container until it reaches a final volume of 18.10 L. Assuming the pressure and
temperature of the gas remain constant, calculate the number of moles of gas added to the
container.
k) If 0.00810 mol neon gas at a particular temperature and pressure occupies a volume of 214 mL,
what volume would 0.00684 mol neon gas occupy under the same conditions?
l) A flexible container at an initial volume of 6.13 L contains 7.51 mol of gas. More gas is then
added to the container until it reaches a final volume of 13.5 L. Assuming the pressure and
temperature of the gas remain constant, calculate the number of moles of gas added to the
container.
m) A balloon is filled with 35.0 L of helium in the morning when the temperature is 20.00 C. By noon
the temperature has risen to 45.00 C. What is the new volume of the balloon?
n) CaCO3 decomposes at 12000 C to form CO2 gas and CaO. If 25 L of CO 2 are collected at 12000
°C, what will the volume of this gas be after it cools to 250 °C?
o) A helium balloon with an internal pressure of 1.00 atm and a volume of 4.50 L at 20.00 C is
released. What volume will the balloon occupy at an altitude where the pressure is 0.600 atm
and the temperature is –20.00 C?
p) There are 135 L of gas in a container at a temperature of 2600 C. If the gas was cooled until the
volume decreased to 75 L, what would the temperature of the gas be?
