Direction: Solve the following problems. Show your solution and encircle the
final answer. Correct answers without solution will not give any credit.
1. At a pressure of 100 kPa, a sample of a gas has a volume of 50 liters.
What pressure does it exert when the gas is compressed to 40 liters?
2. When a 375 mL sample of nitrogen is kept at constant temperature, it
has a pressure of 1.2 atmospheres. What pressure does it exert when
compressed to 125 mL?
3. When a sample of hydrogen is compressed to 240 mL, its pressure
changes from 0.8 atmospheres to 2 atmospheres. What was the original
volume of the sample?
4. Acetylene gas, C2H2 is used for welding. A 5 liter supply of acetylene
being stored at -23 °C, exerts a pressure of 5 atm. At what temperature
would the same number of moles of acetylene, moved to a 10 liter
container, produce a pressure of 2 atm?
5. What is the volume occupied by 0.25 mol of a gas at STP?
6. What is the volume of a container if it holds 8.8 g of carbon dioxide at
STP?
7. A balloon contains mostly helium and a little methane. The partial
pressure of helium is 101.2 kPa. If the pressure inside the balloon is
101.30 kPa, what is the partial pressure of methane?
8. Determine the total pressure of a gas mixture that contains oxygen,
nitrogen, and helium if the partial pressures of the gases are PO2 = 20.0
kPa, PN2 = 46.7 kPa, and PHe = 26.7 kPa.
9. The partial pressure of CH4 is 0.225 atm and of C2H6 is 0.165 atm in a
mixture of two gases. (a)What is the mole fraction of each gas in a
mixture? (b) If the mixture occupies 9.37L at 35˚C, what is the total
number of moles of gas in the mixture?
10. Calculate the volume occupied by 35.2g of methane CH4 at 25˚C
and 1.0 atm.
