Ideal gas law
100

Gases are more compressible than solids and liquids because ____________. 

In the gas phase, there is more space between individual particles. 

100

What is the relationship (formula) between volume and temperature?

V1/T1 = V2/T2
100

What is the combined gas law? 

P1xV1/T1 = P2xV2/T2

100

Under which conditions do real gas particles behave like an ideal gas particle? 

High temperature and low pressure

200
What are the 3 properties of a gas that will alter the pressure? 

number of moles of gas

volume of gas

temperature of gas

200

What is the relationship (formula) between volume and pressure? 

P1V1 = P2V2

200

P1 = 120kPa        P2 = ?

V1 = 200mL        V2 = 150mL

T1 = 310K           T2 = 340K

175.5kPa



200

At 298K, the pressure of an ideal gas is 100kPa with a volume of 250L. How many moles of the ideal gas are present (R = 8.314)?

10 mol


n = 100 x 250 / 8.314 x 298

300

What are the standard temperature and pressure (STP)? 

100kPa or 1atm

273K or 0oC

300

P1 = 136kPa        P2 = ?

V1 = 5L               V2 = 2L

340kPa


136 x 5 = 2 x ? 

300

The volume of a gas-filled balloon is 30.0L at 333K and 143kPa. What would be the volume of the gas at STP? 

35.2L 


143 x 30 / 333 = 100 x ? / 273

300

A balloon is blown up with 250mL of helium (He) gas and 230kPa of pressure at 50oC. How many grams of helium were used to blow up the balloon (R = 8.314)?  

0.086g He


273 + 50 = 323, 250mL = 0.25L

230kPa x 0.25L = n x 8.314 x 323K

n = 0.0214 mol x 4g/mol = 0.086g

400

What are the two units for pressure? 

Pascals (Pa) or Kilopascals (kPa)

and 

Atmospheres (atm) 

400

A balloon inflated at 298K to 2.0L. After the balloon is heated to 360K, what will be the volume? 

2.4L 


2/298 = V2/360, V2= 2x360/298

400

At 300K, the pressure inside a nitrogen-filled tennis ball with a volume of 200L is 230kPa. How many moles of nitrogen gas are in the tennis ball (R=8.314)? 

18.4 mol


230 x 200 = n x 8.314 x 300

400

An underground cavern with a volume of 700L contains 2.2x1025 molecules of oxygen (O2) and has a temperature 20oC. What is the pressure inside the cavern (R = 8.314)?  

127.2kPa


20 + 273 = 293K, 2.2x1025 / 6.02x1023 = 36.54mol

P = 36.54 x 8.314 x 293 / 700 

500

Volume and temperature are ____________ proportional. 

Inversely 

500

A sample of helium gas occupies a volume of 77mL at 148kPa. What is the pressure of the sample if the volume increases by 103mL?

63.3kPa


V2 = 77mL + 103mL = 180mL 

77 x 148 = 180 x  ? 

500

The volume of a hot air balloon is 500.0 L at standard temperature and pressure. After the flame was ignited the gas was heated and the temperature increased by 200K, and the pressure increased by 100kPa. What will be volume of the gas? 

433L


T2 = 273 + 200 = 473K

P2 = 100 + 100 = 200kPa

100 x 500 / 273 = 200 x ? / 473

500

A classroom holds 1 mole of air at STP, what is the volume of the gas in Liters (R = 8.314)? 

22.4L


V = 1 x 8.314 x 273 / 100

1 mole = 22.4L
