In an Ideal gas situation, as pressure and volume increase what happens to the temperature if the amount of gas stays the same? 

It will increase.

What does each variable in the Ideal Gas Law (PV = nRT) equation represent? 

! Extra 20 points for every variable you can answer with their standard units. 

P = Pressure (Pa) 

V = Volume (m^3) 

n = Amount (mol)

R = Ideal gas constant (Pa m^3 / mol K) 

T = Temperature (K)

A block is half submerged in a liquid. I want to find the total amount of pressure acting on the block. What equation should I use? 

! Write it in its entirety

Ptotal = pgh + Psurface

A gas inside a 5 m^3 container initially has a pressure of 10 Pa (Pascals). A 20 m^3 container that has the same gas and same conditions sits beside the 5 m^3 container. What is the pressure inside this container? 


! n, R, and T are all constant for both of these containers. 

P = 40 Pa

A beaker containing a liquid substance is initially at 20 degrees Celsius. The beaker is transferred over to a hot plate where a student gradually increases its temperature. After some time, the substances final temperature is 67 degrees Celsius. What is the change in temperature in Kelvins? 

47 K

If you are given force, acceleration, volume, and height can you find Hydrostatic pressure? If so, walk through how. 

Yes!

Write an equation that represents the relationship between pressure and volume in ideal gas law. 

P1 / V1 = P2 / V2

I have a glass of cold water. I leave it out on the counter and it evenutally reaches room temperature. I have a thermometer in Fahrenheit, but I want to determine THE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE in Kelvins should I use a conversion? Or equation?

Two objects are dropped into a body of water. At a certain point in time object 1 is 3 feet deeper than object 2. Why does object 1 have a greater hydrostatic pressure than object 2? 

Because object 1 is deeper than object 2 it takes on more of the waters weight. Because weight is a force the standard pressure equation P = F/A will be greater for object 1.
