GASES AND GAS LAWS

Name: Nayanga, Brianne Mearl L.

A. Answer the following questions and for problems show your solutions

1. How do gases behave differently from liquids and solids?

- Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors
of these particles differ in the three phases. ... Gas are well separated with no regular
arrangement. Liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. Solid are tightly packed,
usually in a regular pattern.
2. What main characteristic of gases should be accounted for their unique behavior?
- Gases have three characteristic properties:
(1) they are easy to compress, (2) they expand to fill their containers, and (3) they occupy
far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form.

B. Convert the following measurements into the desired units. Show your complete solutions.

1. 500 torr= 0.66atm

2. 1000 mmHg = 1000 torr
3. 2.5 atm= 253312.5000 Pa
4. 0.89 atm = 13.08 psi
5. 5.5 x 10 4 mmHg = 7332730.263 Pa

D. Solve the Problem. Provide a systematic solution. 10 pts

A sample of biogas contains 10.75 mol ethane, 6.35 mol pentane and 2.89 mol propane. If the total pressure
is 2.46 atm. What are the partial pressures of the gases?
