A sample of chlorine gas occupies a volume of 946 mL
at a pressure of 726 mmHg. What is the pressure of
the gas (in mmHg) if the volume is reduced at constant
temperature to 154 mL?
P1 x V1 = P2 x V2
P1 = 726 mmHg P2 = ?
V1 = 946 mL V2 = 154 mL
PROBLEM: Boyle’s apprentice finds that the air trapped in a J tube occupies
24.8cm3 at 1.12atm. By adding mercury to the tube, he increases
the pressure on the trapped air to 2.64atm. Assuming constant
temperature, what is the new volume of air (inL)?
As T increases, V Increases

Applying the Temperature-Pressure Relationship
A 1-L steel tank is fitted with a safety valve that opens if the
internal pressure exceeds 1.00x103 torr. It is filled with helium at
230C and 0.991atm and placed in boiling water at exactly 1000C.
Will the safety valve open?

Argon is an inert gas used in lightbulbs to retard the
vaporization of the filament. A certain lightbulb
containing argon at 1.20 atm and 18 0C is heated to
85 0C at constant volume. What is the final pressure of
argon in the lightbulb (in atm)?
PLAN: Since this problem requires stoichiometry and the gas laws, we have
to write a balanced equation, use the moles of Cu to calculate mols
and then volume of H2 gas.

Using the Ideal Gas Law in a Limiting-Reactant Problem
PROBLEM: The alkali metals [Group 1A(1)] react with the halogens [Group 7A(17)]
to form ionic metal halides. What mass of potassium chloride forms
when 5.25L of chlorine gas at 0.950atm and 293K reacts with 17.0g of
potassium?
PLAN: After writing the balanced equation, we use the ideal gas law to find the
number of moles of reactants, the limiting reactant and moles of product.
