Tutorial 1
1. Give the definition of matter and explain the three states of matter.
2. Write the SI unit for the following quantity.
a) Force
b) Pressure
d) Energy / heat
e) Volume
g)
Mass
h) Speed

c) Temperature
f) Time
i) Mass density

3. State the Boyles Law, Charles Law and Avogadros Law. Give the equation for
each of the law.
4. A sample of oxygen gas occupies a volume of 56.2 cm 3 at 25C and 1 atm
pressure. Determine the volume if the pressure is decreased to 0.75 atm at
constant temperature.
5. A sample of ammonium gas occupies 250 cm3 at 30C. Determine the
temperature when the volume was doubled under the same pressure.
6. Calculate the volume (at S.T.P.) occupied by the following gases.
a) 2.87 g of nitrogen gas
b) 0.53 mol of hydrogen gas
7. Explain how the Ideal Gas Equation could be derived from the combination of
the Gas Laws.
8. The volume of a sample of gas at 25C and 101 kPa is 4.45 dm 3. Calculate the
volume at 58C and 225 kPa?
9. A container of volume 35 dm 3 contains 0.84 mol of oxygen and 2.2 mol of
carbon dioxide under a total pressure of 115 kPa. Calculate the partial pressure
of each gas in the mixture.
10. About 2.50 dm3 of gas A at a pressure of 7.5 atm and 1.20 dm 3 of gas B at a
pressure of 2.5 atm were forced into a container of 0.75 dm 3 capacity. Calculate
the total pressure occupied in the container, assuming the temperature remains
constant throughout.
11. State the van der Waals equation for real gas. Why this equation is important
for real gas and not for ideal gas?
12. Identify whether a neon gas weighed 35.5 g can exert a pressure of 2.24 atm or
not in a 1.75 L vessel at 38C if it behaved as a perfect gas. Calculate the
pressure that would be exerted if it behaved as a Van der Waals gas.
(Given : Ne = 20.18 g/mol, a = 0.205 atm L2/mol2, b = 1.67 x 10-2 L/mol)
13. Suppose that 10.0 mol of ethane gas, C2H6 is confined to 4.860 dm ' at 27C.
Predict the pressure exerted by the ethane by using
(a) the perfect gas equation
(b) the Van der Waals equation
