Laws to solve for the missing variables. (5 POINT  EACH)

Boyle’s Law
Abbreviations
atm - atmosphere
mm Hg - millimeters of mercury
Pa - Pascal (kPa = kilo Pascal)
K - Kelvin
°C - degrees Celsius

Conversions
K = °C + 273
1 cm3 (cubic centimeter) = 1 mL (milliliter)
1 dm3 (cubic decimeter) = 1 L (liter) = 1000 mL

Standard Conditions
0.00 °C = 273 K
1.00 atm = 760.0 mm Hg = 101.325 kPa = 101,325 Pa

Word Problems to work on:

1. A gas occupies 12.8 liters at a pressure of 55.0 mm Hg. What is the volume when the
pressure is increased to 65.0 mm Hg?
G: V1 = 12.8 liters, P1 = 55 mm Hg, P2 = 65 mm Hg
R: V2 = ?
E: V2 = P1 x V1 / P2
S: V2 = 55 x 12.8 = 704 / 65

R: V2 = ?
E: V1 x P1 = P2 x V2 or V2 = V1 x P1 / P2
S: V2 = 2.56 x 1 / 303.975

A: V2 = 0.85 liters
