Instructions: Dont worry, you will not be graded on your performance for this test. This will serve as an
assessment to show what you might already know about the material and to show growth over the time of
the unit. Please try your best so we can get an accurate idea of this. Please SHOW ALL YOUR WORK as
you answer the following questions about gas laws. You will do awesome!
1. Convert 78.5 torr into atmospheres (atm).
a. 0.103 atm
b. 78.5 atm
c. 0.250 atm
d. 59,660 atm
2. Convert 47.0 Celsius to Kelvin.
a. 247 K
b. 320 K
c. 11.75K
d. 2 K
3. At standard temperature and pressure, one mole of a gas is what is volume in liters? (see mole
map)
a. 4.9 L
b. 6.0 x 10^23 L
c. 100 L
d. 22.4 L
4. What is standard temperature and pressure (STP)?
a. 100 C and 0 atm
b. 100 C and 1 atm
c. 0 C and 0 atm
d. 0 C and 1 atm

6. Using the graph to the left, define the relationship

between volume and temperature.
a.
Directly proportional
b.
Indirectly proportional

7. You accidentally leave an unopened bag of Cheetos in your car on a cold winters night. You hop
in the car the next morning with a new, room temperature bag. How might the two bags compare
to each other?
a. The cold, abandoned chip bag looks more bloated in comparison to the original bag
b. The two bags look identical
c. The cold, abandoned bag is more shriveled in comparison to the original bag

8. A nice lady at King Soopers fills your birthday balloon with a gas. The balloons initial volume is 2
L, initial temperature is 294 K, and it had 2 moles of gas initially. You decide its not flashy
enough for your birthday so you take it back to double the volume and the temperature. How
would the pressure change?
a. There would be an increase in pressure.
b. There would be a decrease in pressure.
c. The pressure would remain unchanged.
d. Its too much pressure for the nice lady so she intentionally pops your balloon.
9. A 6.00-L tank contains 4.50 mol O2 at a temperature of 26.0 C. To convert from Celsius to
Kelvin, K = C + 273. What is the pressure (in atm)?
a. 18.4 atm
b. 14.3 atm
c. 17.0 atm
d. 9.20 atm
10. There are 54.0 g of water in a flask with a volume of 7.50 L and a pressure of 90.0 atm. What is
the temperature (in K) inside the flask?
a. 4872 K
b. 2440 K
c. 2635 K
d. 273.0 K
11. The total pressure of a balloon is 3.9 atm and contains 1.3 atm nitrogen, 0.5 atm oxygen, 0.9 atm
helium and an unknown pressure of methane. What is the partial pressure of methane?
a. 0.8 atm
b. 1.3 atm
c. 0 atm
d. 1.2 atm

is the molar mass of ammonia.
a. 4.46 g/L
b. 3.15 g/L
c. 2.95 g/L
d. 9.24 g/L
