of 0.02 dm3. It is compressed until the volume is 0.005 dm3. What is its new pressure
(in atm)?

2 A gas with a volume of 2.0 L is compressed from a pressure of 100 kPa to a pressure
of 500 kPa. If the temperature remains unchanged, what is the resulting volume?

3 The volume of a fixed mass of gas at 27°C is 20 cm3. Find its volume at 57°C if the
pressure is kept constant.

fitting piston is 0.0024 dm3. The cylinder is heated while allowing the gas to expand at constant
pressure. Calculate the volume of the gas at a temperature of 300 K.

5 Initially gas has a volume of 0.14 cm3 and a pressure of 3.0 atm. What will be its
volume when the pressure becomes 60 kPa if the temperature and mass remain
unchanged?

6 A gas balloon has a volume of 106.0 L when the temperature is 45°C and the pressure
is 740 mmHg. What will its volume be at 20°C and 780 mmHg?
8 If 10.0 L of oxygen at STP are heated to 512°C, what will be the new volume of gas
if the pressure is also increased to 1520 mmHg?

9 Calculate the pressure in a 212 L tank containing 23.3 kg of argon gas at 25°C?

10 An air cylinder for a scuba diver contains 150 moles of air at 15°C. The cylinder has a
volume of 0.012 dm3.
a) Calculate the pressure in the air cylinder.
b) Calculate the gas volume when it is all released at atmospheric pressure of 100
kPa and a temperature of 25°C.
11 The Goodyear blimp spirit of Akron contains 7023 dm3 of helium. When the
temperature of the helium is 285 K, its pressure is 112 kN m-2. Find the mass of the
helium in the blimp.

12 Calculate the density in g/L of 478 mL of helium at 47°C and 671 mmHg.

13 What volume of oxygen, measured at 35°C and 752 mmHg, is required to burn 3.26
grams of calcium?

2Ca (s) + O2 (g) → 2CaO (s)

14 How many milliliters of 0.50 M nitric acid are required to release 3.44 liters of hydrogen
gas at 1.33 atm and 45°C?

2HNO3 (aq) + Zn (s) → Zn(NO3)2 (aq) + H2 (g)

15 What is the molarity of a 5.00 L sodium hydroxide solution that would completely react
with 2.00 L of carbon dioxide gas measured at 0.986 atm and 25°C?

2NaOH (aq) + CO2 (g) → Na2CO3 (s) + H2O (l)

16 How many liters of dry hydrogen gas, measured at 796 torr and 298 K, will be released
by the decomposition of 255 milliliters of H2O at 1.33 atm and 298 K?

2H2O (g) → 2H2 (g) + O2 (g)

17 The following reactions take place at a pressure of 760 mmHg and a temperature of
27°C.

CaCO3 (s) → CO2 (g) + CaO (s)

How many grams of calcium carbonate will be needed to form 4.29 liters of carbon
dioxide?

18 The reaction between gasoline (C8H18) and oxygen occurs inside automobile
engines produce carbon dioxide and water. If 4.00 moles of gasoline are burned, what
volume of oxygen is needed if the pressure is 0.953 atm, and the temperature is 35.0°C?
19 How many moles of gas would you have if you had a volume of 38.0 L under a pressure
of 1432 mmHg at 0°C?
