4. Calculate the pressure of 2.50 Liters of a gas at 25.0 C if it has a volume of 4.50 Liters at
STP. (Combined)

5. Calculate the volume of 2.65 moles of CO2 gas at STP. (Molar Volume)

6. Use STP and standard molar volume to calculate the value of R, the gas constant. (Ideal)

7. How many moles of gas will occupy a volume of 250.0 mL if 4.00 moles occupy a
volume of 340.0 mL? (Avogadro)

8. If a deep sea diver has 0.050 Liters of gas in his blood under a pressure of 250 atm, then
rises quickly to a depth where his blood has a pressure of 50.0 atm, what will the volume
of gas in his blood be?

9. A man heats a balloon in the oven. If the balloon initially has a volume of 0.400 Liters
and at a temperature of 20 C, what will the volume of the balloon be after he heats it to a
temperature of 250 C?

10. If I have 21.0 Liters of gas at a pressure of 78.0 atm and a temperature of 900 K, what
will be the volume of the gas if I decrease the pressure 45.0 atm and decrease the
temperature to 750 K?

11. If I contain 3.00 moles of gas in a container with a volume of 60.0 Liters and at a
temperature of 127 C, what is the pressure inside the container?
1. A gas occupies 35.0 Liters at a temperature of 75.0 C. What will its volume be if it is
cooled to 25.0 C? (Charles)

V2 = (35.0 L)(298 K)/348 K = 30.0 Liters

2. A gas originally at a pressure of 791 mm Hg and a volume of 500.0 mL is allowed to

expand to 1.00 Liter. What is the new pressure of the gas? (Boyle)

P2 = (791 mm Hg)(500.0 mL)/1000 mL = 396 mm Hg

3. How many moles of He gas will have a pressure of 855 torr, a volume of 35.0 Liters and
a temperature of 5.0 C? (Ideal)

n = (855/760 atm)(35.0 L)/[(0.0821 L atm/mol K)(278 K)] = 1.73 moles

4. Calculate the pressure of 2.50 Liters of a gas at 25.0 C if it has a volume of 4.50 Liters at
STP. (Combined)

P2 = (1.00 atm)(4.5 L)(298 K)/[(273 K)(2.50 L)] = 1.96 atm

5. Calculate the volume of 2.65 moles of CO2 gas at STP. (Molar Volume)

(2.65 mol)(22.4 L/mol) = 59.4 L

6. Use STP and standard molar volume to calculate the value of R, the gas constant. (Ideal)

R = (1.00 atm)(22.4 L)/[(1.00 mol)(273 K)] = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

7. How many moles of gas will occupy a volume of 250.0 mL if 4.00 moles occupy a
volume of 340.0 mL? (Avogadro)

n2 = (250.0 mL)(4.00 mol)/(340.0 mL) = 2.94 mol

8. V2 = (250 atm)(0.050 L)/50.0 atm = 0.25 Liters

9. V2 = (0.400 L)(523 K)/293 K = n0.714 L

10. V2 = [(78.0)(21.0)(750)]/[(900)(45.0)]= 30.3 L

11. P = (3.00)(0.0821)(400)/60.0 = 1.64 atm
