Gas Law Worksheet

The document contains a worksheet with various gas law problems involving temperature, volume, and pressure changes of gases in different scenarios. Each problem requires calculations based on the principles of gas laws, including Charles's Law, Boyle's Law, and the Ideal Gas Law. The problems cover practical situations such as the effects of temperature on balloons, chip bags, soda bottles, and gases under pressure.

Gas Law Worksheet

1. The temperature inside my refrigerator is about 40 Celsius. If I place a balloon in my


fridge that initially has a temperature of 220 C and a volume of 0.5 liters, what will be
the volume of the balloon when it is fully cooled by my refrigerator?

2. A man heats a balloon in the oven. If the balloon initially has a volume of 0.4 liters
and a temperature of 20 0C, what will the volume of the balloon be after he heats it to
a temperature of 250 0C?

3. On hot days, you may have noticed that potato chip bags seem to “inflate”, even
though they have not been opened. If I have a 250 mL bag at a temperature of 19 0C,
and I leave it in my car which has a temperature of 600 C, what will the new volume
of the bag be?

4. A soda bottle is flexible enough that the volume of the bottle can change even without
opening it. If you have an empty soda bottle (volume of 2 L) at room temperature (25
0
C), what will the new volume be if you put it in your freezer (-4 0C)?

5. I have made a thermometer which measures temperature by the compressing and


expanding of gas in a piston. I have measured that at 1000 C the volume of the piston
is 20 L. What is the temperature outside if the piston has a volume of 15 L? What
would be appropriate clothing for the weather?

6. Determine the pressure change when a constant volume of gas at 101.3kPa is heated
from 25 °C to 35 °C.

7. A gas has a pressure of 0.12 atm at 21.0 °C. What is the pressure at standard
temperature?

8. A gas has a pressure of 794 mmHg at 43.0 °C. What is the temperature at standard
pressure?

9. If a gas is cooled from 231.0 K to 315 K and the volume is kept constant what final
pressure would result if the original pressure was 621 mm Hg?

10. If a gas in a closed container is pressurized from 12.0 atmospheres to 25.0


atmospheres and its original temperature was 32.0 °C, what would the final
temperature of the gas be?

11. A 30.0 L sample of nitrogen inside a rigid, metal container at 20.0 °C is placed inside
an oven whose temperature is 50.0 °C. The pressure inside the container at 20.0 °C
was at 3.00 atm. What is the pressure of the nitrogen after its temperature is
increased?

12. The highest pressure ever produced in a laboratory setting was about 2.0 x 106 atm. If
we have a 1.0 x 10-5 liter sample of a gas at that pressure, then release the pressure
until it is equal to 0.275 atm, what would the new volume of that gas be?
13. Synthetic diamonds can be manufactured at pressures of 6.00 x 104 atm. If we took
2.00 liters of gas at 1.00 atm and compressed it to a pressure of 6.00 x 104 atm, what
would the volume of that gas be?

14. Atmospheric pressure on the peak of Mt. Everest can be as low as 150 mm Hg, which
is why climbers need to bring oxygen tanks for the last part of the climb. If the
climbers carry 10.0 liter tanks with an internal gas pressure of 3.04 x 104 mm Hg,
what will be the volume of the gas when it is released from the tanks?

15. Divers get “the bends” if they come up too fast because gas in their blood expands,
forming bubbles in their blood. If a diver has 0.05 L of gas in his blood under a
pressure of 250 atm, then rises instantaneously to a depth where his blood has a
pressure of 50.0 atm, what will the volume of gas in his blood be? Do you think this
will harm the diver?
