1)For this problem we would us the equation for Boyle's Law comparing the inverse

relationship between pressure and volume when the temperature is held constant.

First we would determine ore known and unknown values from the question.

Pi = 66.6 kPa
Vi = 100 mL
Pf = ???
Vf = 250 mL

PiVi=PfVf

The equation can be rearranged algebraically to


PiViVf=Pf

(66.6KPa)(100mL)250mL = Pf

Pf=26.6kPa

2) (25 + 273 K) x (900 mL / 1000 mL) x (108.5 kPa / 98.6 kPa) = 295 K = 22C

2)
(200 mL) x (50 kPa / 100 kPa) x (-14 + 273 K) / (271 + 273 K) = 47.6 mL

3)

The volume will be 0.33mL.

We'll start with the ideal gas law:


PV=nRT
In this question, we're taking the amount of gas to be constant, and the gas constant is,
well... constant. We can re-arrange the equation find obtain:
PVT=nR=constant

This means that all possible combinations of pressure, volume, and temperature must
all give the same number, based on the above formula. As a result, we can write
P1V1T1=P2V2T2=constant

We can re-arrange the above equality again to obtain our last formula:
V2=(T2T1)(P1P2)V1
Plugging in the values:
P1=175kPa, T1=75 degC=348K
P2=1.0105kPa T2=20degC=293K
V1=225mL

We find V2=0.33mL, which is not too surprising, considering we're increasing the
pressure by about 1000... But check my work, I've never been too great with numbers.

4) The combined gas law is PV/T=k. In this problem the equation would be P1V1/T1=k and P2V2/T.
However, if something equals the same thing they equal each other so the equation is P1V1/T1=P2V2/T.
Now it's just a matter of seeing what you are given.
P1= 180kPa P2= 120kPa
V1= 800ml/100= .8L V2=x
T1= 80C+273= 353K T2= 50C+273= 323K

Now just plug the numbers into the equation.


180kPa*.8L/353K= 120kPa*x/323K (Make sure that the units cancel, leaving you with L) --->
144L/353=120*x/323-->.407L=.371x--->1.11...
So the volume of the gas is 1.097L
