2) A sample of argon has a volume of 5.0 dm3 and the pressure is 0.92 atm.
If the final temperature is 30. C, the final volume is 5.7 L, and the final
pressure is 800. mm Hg, what was the initial temperature of the argon?
4) The initial temperature of a 1.00 liter sample of argon is 20. C. The pressure
is decreased from 720 mm Hg to 360 mm Hg and the volume increases to
2.14 liters. What was the change in temperature of the argon?
6) A 20. L container is filled with helium and the pressure is 150 atm and the
temperature is 30. C. How many 5.0 L balloons can be filled when the
temperature is 22 C and the atmospheric pressure is 755 mm?
Solutions
1) P1 = 720 mm P2 = 760 mm
V1 = 652 mL V2 = ?
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
V2 = P1V1/T1 x T2/P2
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
T1 = P1V1/P2 x T2/V2
T1 = 0.92 atm x 760 mm/1 atm x 5.0 dm3 x 303 K/(800. mm x 5.7 L x 1 dm3/L) =
232 K = -41 C
3) P1 = ? P2 = 1.00 atm
V1 = 322 L V2 = 197 L
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
P1 = P2V2/T2 x T1/V1
V1 = 1.00 L V2 = 2.14 L
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
T2 = P2V2/P1 x T1/V1
5) P1 = 756 mm P2 = ?
V1 = 2.00 L V2 = 4.00 L
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
P2 = P1V1/T1 x T2/V2
V1 = 20. L V2 = ?
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
V2 = P1V1/T1 x T2/P2
