Activity 1: BOYLES LAW

Part I: For the following problems calculate the value which the question asks for. Be sure to follow the proper
steps and show all your work (1) Convert values to correct units if necessary and list variables (given) (2) solve
the law for desired variable (3) substitute the known variables with the correct units and (4) calculate the
solution. Follow the appropriate steps as laid out for you to get full credit.

1. A gas occupies 12.3 liters at a pressure of 40.0 mm 2. If a gas at 25.0 °C occupies 3.60 liters at a pressure
Hg. What is the volume when the pressure is increased of 1.00 atm, what will be its volume at a pressure of
to 60.0 mm Hg? 2.50 atm?

3. A sample of gas has an initial pressure of 722 torr 4. A gas occupies 11.2 liters at 0.860 atm. What is the
and an initial volume of 88.8 mL. Its volume changes pressure if the volume becomes 15.0 L?
to 0.663 L. What is the new pressure?

5. 500.0 mL of a gas is collected at 745.0 mm Hg. What 6. Convert 350.0 mL at 740.0 mm of Hg to its new
will the volume be at standard pressure? volume at standard pressure.

7. Convert 338 L at 63.0 atm to its new volume at 8. I have added 15 L of air to a balloon at sea level
standard pressure. (STP). If I take the balloon with me to Denver, where
the air pressure is 0.85 atm, what will the new volume
of the balloon be?
 9. Air fills a room with a volume of 5600 L. 10. An air compressor has a volume of 110 L. What
Atmospheric pressure is 740 torr. What will be the volume of gas is pumped into the tank if the pressure
pressure if all of the gas is pumped into an 80 L tank? goes from 750 torr to a pressure of 145 psi?
Convert this pressure to kPa.

Part II. Show your complete solution. Use a separate sheet of paper if needed.
1. Calculate the following for a gas with a volume of 12.5 liters at a pressure of 100 atmospheres.

2. When you have calculated all the volumes. Plot the points on the graph at the right .
