combustible, and volatile. Cite an example of each.
2. Liquid oxygen will vaporize at -182oC. Why can't liquid oxygen exist
at room temperature ? Explain using the terms, intermolecular
attraction and kinetic energy of the molecules.
3. State Avogadro's hypothesis.

14. A sample of a gas at a pressure of 99 kPa and a temperature of 301 K
is transferred from a container of volume 0,98 L to one of volume
4
24 mL. The new temperature is 195 K after transferring. What is the
new pressure of the gas ?
15. A gas occupies a volume of 24,5 L at 298 K and 202,6 kPa. Find its
volume at STP.

pressure drops to 4,2 x 103 kPa. Find the mass of the acetylene used,
assuming temperature remains constant.
