A. True or False. Read the statements below. If the statement is true,

circle T. If the statement is false, circle F.
1. T F If temperature is constant, the volume of a gas will increase as
pressure increases.
2. T F A volume of a gas is 1L. If its temperature is doubled, and its
pressure is quadruped, then its final volume is 2L.
3. T F In an ideal gas, gas particles do not attract one another.
4. T F The volume of a gas varies directly with its temperature if
pressure is constant.
5. T F If O2 boils at -183C and freezes at -219C, then O2 stored at 67K
is a solid.
6. T F 1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L at STP.
7. T F A capped 40 mL syringe filled with air at 100 kPa is squeezed until
the volume is reduced to 10 mL. The pressure in the syringe will
be 25 kPa after squeezing.
8. T F PV = mRT
M
B. Matching Questions. Match the term with the definition. Note
that there are more definitions than terms. No definition may
be used more than once.

C. Gas Law Problems. Display your information and equations and

include correct units of measurement at each step of the question.

1. Solve for the missing variable in the following chart:

P1 P2 V1 V2
101 kPa 125 kPa 7.52 L ?

2. Complete the following chart, assuming that the initial conditions were
taken at SATP:
P1 V1 T1 P2 V2 T2
125 kPa 15.5 L 375 K

3. What would happen to the volume of an ideal gas if the absolute

temperature is doubled and the pressure is halved?

4. A balloon is brought to the top of Mt. Logan where it occupies a volume

of 775 mL at a temperature of 28C and a pressure of 92.5 kPa. What
is the pressure at the bottom of the mountain if the same balloon has a
volume of 825 mL at a temperature of 15C?

5. What pressure, in kPa, is exerted by 75.0 g of xenon gas in a 2.25-L

flask at 27C?

6. A pressure reading of 275 kPa is found when the temperature of air in a

piston is 35C and the volume is 2.5 L. What will the temperature be, in
degrees Celsius, if the volume doubles and the pressure becomes 100
kPa?
7. What is the initial pressure of a gas if it occupied a volume of 375 mL,
but now occupies a volume of 1.25 L at a pressure of 95.5 kPa. Assume
that the temperature remains constant throughout the process.

8. A fire extinguisher filled with carbon dioxide has a mass of 3500 g. After
releasing all of the CO2, the mass of the extinguisher is 2735 g. What
was the pressure reading on the gauge before any CO2 was released, if
the volume of the extinguisher is 4.25 L and it is stored at a
temperature of 25C?
