 Gas Law Problems

1. The volume of a gas is 2.32 L at 1.45 atm pressure, at constant

temperature, what will be the volume if the pressure is changed to
4.87 atm?
Soln:

We know from Boyel’s law that if the amount of gas and temperature remain constant, then
the volume of gas is inversely proportional to volume of gas.

Given that,
Initial pressure of gas, P1 = 1.45 atm
Initial volume of gas, V1= 2.32 L
Final pressure of gas, P2 = 4.87 atm
Let, Final volume of gas = V2

From, Boyel’s law,

P1V1 = P2V2
Or, V2 = ( 1.45* 2.32)/ 4.87 = 0.691 L

2. A gas cylinder is at a pressure of 1500 mmHg at 25° C, it can stand

20.25 atm pressure, at which temperature the cylinder will burst?
Soln:

Given that,
Initial pressure of gas, P1 = 1500 mmHg
Initial temperature of gas, T1= 25° C= 298 K
Final pressure of gas, P2 = 20.25 atm= 15390 mmHg
Let, Final volume of gas = T2

We know, P1*T2 = P2*T1

Or, T2= (15390*298)/ 1500= 3164.76 K

3. A 438 L steel tank is filled with 0.885 kg O2, calculate the pressure at
21° C.
Soln:

Given that,
Volume of gas, V= 438 L
Temperature of gas, T= (21+273) K= 294 K
Moles of Oxygen gas, n= .885*1000/ 32 mol = 27.66 mol
We know from ideal gas law,
PV= nRT
Or, P= (27.66*8.314*294)/ (438/1000)= 154360.2296 Pa

5. 100 g of each gas N2, O2, and CO2 were mixed in a container at a
pressure of 2.6 x 105 Pa. What is the partial pressure of O2?

Soln:

Given that,
Moles of N2= 3.57 mol
Moles of O2= 3.125 mol
Moles of CO2= 2.27 mol
Now,
Mole fraction of O2, X2= 3.125/(3.125*3.57*2.27)= 0.123
Partial pressure of oxygen = 2.6*105*0.123 = 31980 Pa
 Boyel’s Law
1. At 1.70 atm, a sample of gas takes up 4.25L. If the pressure in the gas is
increased to 2.40 atm, what will the new volume be?

Soln:

We know from Boyel’s law that if the amount of gas and temperature remain constant, then
the volume of gas is inversely proportional to volume of gas.

Given that,
Initial pressure of gas, P1 = 1.75 atm
Initial volume of gas, V1= 4.25 L
Final pressure of gas, P2 = 2.40 atm
Let, Final volume of gas = V2

From, Boyel’s law,

P1V1 = P2V2
Or, V2 =( 1.75*4.25)/ 2.40= 3.099 L

2. A sample of Ne gas occupies 0.220L at 0.86 atm. What will be its volume
at 29.4kPa?

Soln:

the volume of gas is inversely proportional to volume of gas.

Given that,

Initial volume of gas, V1= 0.220 L
Final pressure of gas, P2 = 29.4 kPa= 0.29 atm
Let, Final volume of gas = V2

From, Boyel’s law,

P1V1 = P2V2
Or, V2 =( 0.86*0.220)/ 0.29= 0.652 L
 Charle’s Law

Initial volume of gas, V1= 625 L
Final temperature of gas, T2 = 353 k
Let, Final volume of gas = V2

From, Boyel’s law,

2. A gas at 40.0°C occupies a volume of 2.32L. If the temperature is

raised to 75.0°C, what will the new volume be if the pressure is
constant?

the volume of gas is directly proportional to it’s absolute temperature.

Given that,
Initial temperature of gas, T1 = 313 K
Initial volume of gas, V1= 2.32 L
Final temperature of gas, T2 = 348 k
