Exercise #10
Gas Laws
Boyle’s Law Problems:

1. If 22.5 L of nitrogen at 748 mmHg are compressed to 725 mmHg at constant temperature. What
is the new volume?
2. A gas with a volume of 4.0 L at a pressure of 205 kPa is allowed to expand to a volume of 12 L.
What is the pressure in the container if the temperature remains constant?
3. What pressure is required to compress 196 L of air at 1 atm. into a cylinder whose volume is 26
L?
4. A 40 L tank of ammonia has a pressure of 12.7 kPa. Calculate the volume of the ammonia if its
pressure is changes to 8.4 kPa while its temperature remains constant.

Charles’ Law Problems:

1. Calculate the decrease in temperature when 6.00 L at 20.0 °C is compressed to 4.00 L.


2. A container containing 5.00 L of a gas is collected at 100 K and then allowed to expand to 20.0 L.
What must the new temperature be in order to maintain the same pressure (as required by
Charles’ Law)?
3. A gas occupies 900.0 mL at a temperature of 27.0 °C. What is the volume at 132.0 °C?
4. If 15.0 L of neon at 25.0 °C is allowed to expand to 45.0 L, what must the new temperature be to
maintain constant pressure?

Gay – Lussac Law Problems:

1. The gases in a hair spray can determined at the temperature of 27 °C and a pressure of 30
lbs/in2, the can will explode. To what temperature must the gases be raised in order for the can
to explode? Assume constant volume. (630 °C)
2. Maybelline Cousteau’s backup oxygen tank reads 900 mmHg while on her boat, where the
temperature is 27 °C. When she dives down to the bottom of an unexplored methane lake on a
recently discovered moon of Neptune, the temperature will drop down to -183 °C. What will be
the pressure in her backup tank be at that temperature? (270 mmHg)

Combined Gas Law Problems:

1. A gas balloon has a volume of 106.0 L when the temperature is 45.0 °C and the pressure is 740.0
mm of mercury. What will its volume be at 20.0 °C and 780.0 mm of mercury pressure?
2. A gas is heated from 263.0 K to 298.0 K and the volume is increased from 24.0 L to 35.0 L by
moving a large piston within a cylinder. If the original pressure was 1.00 atm, what would the
final pressure be?
3. The pressure of a gas is reduced from 1200.0 mmHg to 850.0 mmHg as the volume of its
container is increased by moving a piston from 85.0 mL to 350.0 mL. What would the final
temperature be if the original temperature was 90.0 °C?
Useful equations/conversions:

Boyle’s Law: P1V1=P2V2

Charles’ Law: V1/T1= V2/T2

Gay – Lussac’s Law: P1/T1= P2/T2

Combined Gas Law: P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2

1 atm = 760 mmHg

760 mmHg = 760 torr

760 torr = 101.3 Pa (or 101.3 kPa)

K = °C + 273

Note:

atm = atmosphere

mmHg = millimeters of mercury

torr = same as mmHg (in honor of Evangelista Toricelli)
