 PROBLEMS

1. The volume of a sample of methane is measured at a

temperature of 60°C and a pressure of 103kPa. The
volume measured is 5.37 ×10–3 –3 m33. Assume the gas

behaves as an ideal gas. What is the mass of the

sample of methane, given to two significant figures?
2. A researcher removes 1.13 g of gas from an unlabeled
gas tank. The temperature, pressure, and volume of the
gas are measured to be 25ooC, 100 kPa, 1.00 dm33,
respectively. Based on its molar mass, what is likely
the gas in the tank?

Avogadro’s Law
Avogadro’s Law states that:
Equal volumes of gases, at the same
temperature and pressure, contain the
same number of molecules.

This means that one mole of any gas at a given temperature

and pressure will always have the same volume.

At room temperature and pressure

(RTP), one mole of any gas has a
volume of 24 dm3 (24 liters).

What would happen to the volume of a mole of gas if you:

 increased the temperature?
 increased the pressure?
