IDEAL GAS

It solves the following ideal gas problems.

1. The mass of a gas occupies a volume of 4.00 m3 to 758 mmHg. What will be its volume at 635
mmHg, if the temperature remains constant?
Resp. 4.77 m3

2. A given mass of gas occupies 38 mL at 20 °C. If its pressure remains constant, what is the
volume it occupies at a temperature of 45 °C?
Resp. 41 mL

3. On a day when the atmospheric pressure is 75.83 cmHg, a pressure gauge from a gas tank marks
the pressure reading of 258.5 cmHg. What is the absolute pressure (in atmospheres and in kPa) of
the gas inside the tank?
Resp. 334.3 cmHg = 4,398 atm = 445.6 kPa

4. A tank containing an ideal gas is sealed at 20 °C and at a pressure of 1.00 atm. What will be the
pressure (in kPa and mmHg) in the tank, if the temperature drops to –35 °C?
Resp. 82 kPa = 6.2 x 102 mmHg

5. Given 1000 mL of helium at 15 °C and 763 mmHg, its volume is set at – 6 °C and 420 mmHg.
Resp. 1.68 x 103 mL

6. One kilomole of ideal gas occupies 22.4 m3 at 0 °C and 1 atm.

a) What is the pressure required to compress 1.00 kmol of gas in a 5.00 m3 container at 100 °C?
b) If it is to be enclosed in a tank of 5.00 m3, which can withstand a maximum gauge pressure of
3.00 atm, what would be the maximum temperature of the gas if the tank is not to explode?
Resp. (a) 6.12 atm; (b) –30 °C

7. A 5000 cm3 tank contains an ideal gas (M = 40 kg/kmol) at a gauge pressure of 530 kPa and at a
temperature of 25 °C. If the atmospheric pressure is supposed to be 100 kPa, how much mass of
gas is in the reservoir?
Resp. 0.051 kg

8. An air bubble of volume V0 is allowed to escape from the bottom of a lake at a depth of 11.0 m
What will be its volume on the surface? Consider that its temperature is 4.0 °C at the starting point
and 12 °C at the surface. Water has a density of 1000 kg/m3 and atmospheric pressure is 75 cmHg.
Resp. 2.1 V0

9. "Dry ice" is solid carbon dioxide at a temperature below -55 ºC and pressure of 1atmosphere. A
sample of 0.050 g of dry ice is placed in an empty container whose volume is 4.6 L, at the
temperature of 50ºC a).
Calculate the pressure, in atm, inside the container after all the dry ice has turned into gas.
b) Explain if there are changes in the pressure and in the number of gaseous moles if the
experiment were carried out at 60° C in the container.

10. Calculate the temperature at which 8 g of oxygen found in a 5-liter vessel at a pressure of 790
mm Hg. What volume will it occupy under normal conditions?
How much of this gas should come out or should we introduce so that the pressure would double
if the temperature drops 10ºC?
