You are given a problem that has the initial pressure and volume of a gas, and the final pressure of the gas is given too. You are asked to find the final volume. a) What variables could you leave out of the ideal gas law? T and n are constant (not given or mentioned) and will cancel out in the equation. b) How would the ideal gas law equation look like for this problem? pv nrt = constant. pv pv ; p V V. p
5. You are given a problem that has the initial pressure and temperature of a gas and the final temperature of the gas is given. You are asked to find the final pressure. a) What variables could you leave out of the ideal gas law?

On hot days, you may have noticed that potato chip bags seem to inflate, even though they have not been opened. If I have a 50 ml bag at a temperature of 9, and I leave it in my car which has a temperature of 60, what will the new volume of the bag be? V = 50 ml T = 9 C = 9 K TV V nt nt T V =?

8. A flexible container is filled with 8.0 moles of air. How many more moles of gas would you need to introduce in it to change the volume from 5 L to 00 L?

Note that the question is how many more moles, (Consider T and P constant.) so the answer is: n - n = mol - 8 mol = 4 mol 9. A gas has a volume of 40mL at 7ºC and a pressure of 60 mmhg. What volume will it have at STP? pv nrt. The number of moles and R are constants so: pv T p V T nr.

. A small cylinder of helium gas used to filling balloons has a volume of.0 L and a pressure of 850 atm at 5 C. How many balloons can you fill if each one has a volume of.5l and a pressure of.5 atm at 5 C? (Hint: Notice we were given data for two different containers!) For the cylinder: For the balloons: Latm R = 0.0806 T = 5 C = 98 K T = 5 C = 98 K V =.0 L V =.5 L P = 850 atm P =.5 atm n =? n =? We need to calculate the number of moles of helium in the cylinder and then the number of moles that each balloon can hold. If we get the ration of the number of moles, we ll now how many balloons we can fill. Equation: Rearranging the equation: = nrt; n RT Moles in the cylinder: Moles in each balloon: (850 atm)(.0 L) (.5 atm)(.5 L) n = = 74 mol n = = 7. 6 7 L atm (98 K) (0.0806 mol K ) L atm mol (98 K) (0.0806 mol K ) 74 mol # ballons = 7. 6 7 0 = 67 ballons 00 ballons mol. Blast furnaces give off many unpleasant and unhealthy gases. If the total pressure is 0.99 atm, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 0.05 atm, and the partial pressure of hydrogen sulfide is 0.0 atm, what is the partial pressure of the remaining air?

A metal tank contains three gases: oxygen, helium, and nitrogen.
