Formulas: P V P V PV NRT T T "R" Values: 0.0821 Atm L 62.4 MMHG L 8.31 Kpa L Mol K Mol K Mol K

This document provides formulas and examples for solving gas law problems. It includes the formulas for Boyle's law (pressure-volume at constant temperature), Charles' law (volume-temperature at constant pressure), and the combined gas law. Examples apply these formulas to calculate volume, pressure, temperature, moles of gas, and molar mass. The document determines if a gas canister would explode based on its pressure and volume, calculates the mass of nitrogen in a room, and finds densities of methane at different conditions.

FORMULAS: “R” Values:

P1V1 = P2V2 PV=nRT 0.0821 atm L 62.4 mmHg L 8.31 kPa L


T1 T2 mol K mol K mol K

Directions: Choose the correct formula to answer each question, then show your substitution and
final answer. Values of “R” are also given above.

1. The temperature inside my refrigerator is about 40C. The temperature in my kitchen is 22C. If I
take a 3.5L balloon that is in my kitchen and put it in the refrigerator, what will its new volume be?

FORMULA: V1 = V2
T1 T2

3.5 L = V2
295 K 277 K

V2 = 3.3 L

2. A weather balloon has a volume of 35 L at sea level (1.0 atm). After the balloon is released it rises
to where the air pressure is 0.75 atm. What will the new volume of the weather balloon be?

FORMULA: P1V1 = P2V2

1 atm (35 L) = (0.75 atm) (V2)

V2 = 46.7 L

3. If the sun heats my car from a temperature of 20.0 C to a temperature of 550 C, what will the
pressure inside my car be? Assume the pressure was initially 570 mmHg.

FORMULA: P1 = P2
T1 T2

570 mmHg = P2
293 K 328 K

P2 = 638.1 mmHg

4. A gas sample occupies 252mL at 23°C and 1.5atm. Determine its volume at 0C and 760 mmHg.

FORMULA: P1V1 = P2V2 1.5atm (252mL) = 1 atm (V2)


T1 T2 296 K 273 K

V2 = 348.6mL
5. A gas canister can tolerate internal pressures up to 210 atmospheres before it explodes. Find the
pressure in a 2.0 L canister holding 3.5 moles of gas that is heated to 1350 C. Will the canister
explode?

FORMULA: PV=nRT

P(2L) = 3.5 mol (0.0821) (1623K)


P = 233.2 atm

Will the can explode? ____YES____________

6. The volume of this room is roughly 8500L. Using 25°C for room temperature and 760mmHg for
the pressure, calculate the mass of the air in this room (air is mostly nitrogen, so calculate the mass of
nitrogen).

FORMULA: PV=nRT

760mmHg (8500 L) = n (62.4) (298K)


n = 347.4 mol

347.4 mol 28g N2 = 9,727.2 g N2


1 mole

7. Determine the density of methane (CH4) at STP.

16g = 0.7 g/L


22.4 L

8. Determine the density of methane (CH4) at 23°C and 745mmHg.

PV=nRT
745 mmHg (1L) = n (62.4) (296 K)
N = 0.0403 mol

0.0403 mol 16g CH4 0.65 g  0.65 g/L


1 mole

9. 12.5g of a gas occupies 10.5L at 25°C and 755mmHg. Determine the molar mass of the gas.

PV=nRT
755mmHg (10.5 L) = n (62.4)(298K)
N = 0.4263 mol  12.5 g = 29.3 g/mol
0.4263 mol
