IDEAL GAS LAW

QUIZ
 A 12.0 g sample of gas
• 1.

occupies 19.2 L at STP.

What is the molecular
weight of this gas?
 96.0 g. of a gas
• 2.

occupies 48.0 L at 700.0

mm Hg and 20.0 °C.
What is its molecular
weight?
 20.83 g of a gas
• 3.

occupies 4.167 L at
79.97 kPa at 30.0 °C.
What is its molecular
weight?
 600 g of solid CO2 is put in an
• 4.
empty sealed 4.00 L container
at a temperature of 300 K.
When all the solid
CO2 becomes gas, what will be
the pressure in the container?
ANSWERS
 ANSWERS
• 1.
• 1) Use PV = nRT:
• (1.00 atm) (19.2 L) = (n) (0.08206) (273 K)n =
0.8570518 mol
• 2) Determine the molecular weight:
• 12.0 g / 0.8570518 mol = 14.0 g/mol)
• 2.
• 1) Solve for the moles using PV = nRT:
• n = PV / RTn = [(700.0 mmHg / 760.0 mmHg
atm¯1) (48.0 L)] / [(0.08206 L atm mol¯1 K¯1)
(293.0 K)]
• n = 1.8388 mol
• 2) Divide the grams given (96.0) by the moles just
calculated above:
• 96.0 g / 1.8388 mol = 52.2 g/mol
• 3.
• 1) Solve for the moles using PV = nRT:
• n = PV / RTn = [(79.97 kPa / 101.325 kPa atm¯1)
(4.167 L)] / [(0.08206 L atm mol¯1 K¯1) (303.0 K)]
• n = 0.13227 mol
• 2) Divide the grams given (20.83) by the moles
just calculated above:
• 20.83 g / 0.13227 mol = 157.5 g/mol
• 4.
• 1) Determine moles of CO2:
• 5.600 g / 44.009 g/mol = 0.1272467 mol2) Use
PV = nRT
• (P) (4.00 L) = (0.1272467 mol) (0.08206 L atm
mol¯1 K¯1) (300 K)
• P = 0.78atm
