Seatwork: CHARLES’ LAW

1. If 540 mL of Nitrogen at 0.00 0C is heated to a temperature of 100 0C, what will be the new
volume of the gas?
2. If 15.0 L of Neon at 25 0C is allowed to expand to 45.0 L, what must the new temperature be
to maintain constant pressure?
3. A gas occupies a volume of 100 mL at 27.0 0C. At what temperature would the volume be at
50.0 mL?
Charles’ Law Sample Problem:

1. Calculate the decrease in temperature when 6.00 L at 20.0 0C is compressed at 4.00 L.

2. A container containing 5.00 L of a gas is collected at 100 K and then allowed to expand to
20.0 L. What must the new temperature be in order to maintain the same temperature?
3. A gas occupies 900.0 mL at a temperature of 27.0 0C. What is the volume at 132.0 0C?
4. A balloon initially has a volume of 0.4 L and a temperature of 20 0C. What will be the volume
of the balloon after it is heated at 250 0C?
5. A balloon has a volume of 3.0 L at 27 0C. What is its temperature (expressed in 0C) if it
expands to 6.0 L?
6. A syringe contains 56.11 mL of gas at 311 K. Determine the volume that the gas will occupy
if the temperature is increased to 400 K.
