Analysis Questions:

1. Summarize the relationship between volume, temperature and pressure (use words like
“inversely proportional” or “directly proportional”). Use sentences.

2. Which gas law did each graph represent?

 3. A gas sample contained in a cylinder equipped with a moveable piston occupied 300.0 mL at a
pressure of 2.00 atm. What would be the final pressure if the volume were increased to 500.0
mL at constant temperature?

4. Several balloons are inflated with helium to a volume of 0.75 L at 27C. One of the balloons was
found several hours later, the temperature had dropped to 22C. What would be the volume of
the balloon when found, if no helium has escaped?

5. A gas occupies a volume of 50.0 mL at 27C and 630 mmHg. At what temperature, in C, would
the pressure be 101.3 kPa if the volume remains constant?
