Directions: Solve each of the following problems. Show your work, including proper units, to earn full credit.
1. Container A (with volume 1.23 dm 3) contains a gas under 3.24 atm of pressure. Container B (with volume
0.93 dm3) contains a gas under 2.82 atm of pressure. Container C (with volume 1.42 dm 3) contains a
gas under 1.21 atm of pressure. If all of these gases are put into Container D (with volume 1.51 dm 3),
what is the pressure in Container D?
2. Container A (with volume 1.56 L) contains a gas under 185.3 kPa of pressure. Container B has 1/3 the
volume of Container A, but its gas is under twice the pressure as that of Container A. If the gases from
A and B are combined into Container C (with volume 0.95 L), what is the pressure in Container C?
3. Container A (with volume 150 mL) contains a gas under an unknown pressure. Container B (with volume
250 mL) contains a gas under 628 mm Hg of pressure. Container C (with volume 350 mL) contains a
gas under 437 mm Hg of pressure. If all of these gases are put into Container D (with volume 300 mL),,
giving it 1439 mm Hg of pressure, find the original pressure of the gas in Container A.
4. The gases of three identical containers A, B, and C are under pressures of 1.44 atm, 3.16 atm, and 2.52 atm,
respectively. These gases are then combined into Container D (with a volume of 3.92 L) so that the
pressure in Container D is 4.38 atm. Containers A, B, and C have the same volume. Find that volume.
Answers: 1. 5.51 atm 2. 507.1 kPa 3. 812 mm Hg 4. 2.41 L
