Question

1) When the pressure is 1.0 atmosphere, the amount of gas contained in the syringe is 12.0 cm3. If the syringe plunger is pushed in to the 9.0-cm3mark, the pressure according to Boyle’s law should be:

a) 0.75 atm

b) 1.0 atm

c) 1.25 atm

d) 1.33 atm

2) If the temperature in the room is 20°C, what is the temperature in Kelvin (K)?

a) 68

b) 273

c) 293

d) 300

3) At a temperature of 273 K, the syringe contains 11.0 cm3 of air. How many moles of air are in the syringe?

a) 4.86 X 10-4 moles

b) 0.446 moles

c) 11.0 moles

d) 2.04 X 103 moles

4) The pressure unit of atmospheres can be related to SI units by: 1 atm = 1.013 ´ 105 N/m2. A square meter is a large area. One atmosphere of pressure corresponds to how many N/cm2?

a) 1.013 X 109 N/cm2

b) 1.013 X 107 N/cm2

c) 1.013 X 103 N/cm2

d) 1.013 X 101 N/cm2

Explanation / Answer


1)

pressure, p1=1atm


volume, v1=12cm^3, and volume, v2=9cm^3

use,


P1*V1=P2*V2


1*12=p2*9


===> p2=1.33 atm --->

2)

temperature, T=20 oC

T=20+273


T=293 oK ------->


3)


now,


T3=273 k and V3=11cm^3


P1*V1=P3*V3


1.33*9=P3*11

==> P3=1.09 atm

use,


P*V=n*R*T


p3*v3=n*R*T3


n=p3*v3/R*T3


n=1.09*(1.013*10^5)*11*(10^-2)^3/((8.314)*(273))


n=5.35*10^-4 mole

4)

1atm=1.013*10^5 N/m^3


1atm=1.013*10^5 N/(10^2cm)^2


1atm=1.013*10^1 N/cm^2 -------->
