Explanation / Answer

2.

Charles’s law states that when the pressure on a sample of a dry gas is held constant, the Kelvin temperature and the volume will be directly related.

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Here pressure = 744 torr is maintained constant

V1 = 11.2 L

T1 = ?

V2 = 23.5 L

T2 = 65 oC = (273 + 65)K = 338 K

Now,

V1/T1 = V2/T2

T1 = V1T2/V2

   = (11.2 L) (338 K) / (23.5 L)

    = 161 K

    = (161 – 273) oC

    = - 112 oC

3.

V1 = 2.5 L

T1 = - 100 oC = (-100 + 273) K = 173 K

V2 = ?

T2 = 100 oC = (273 + 100)K = 373 K

Now,

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V2 = V1T2/T1

   = (2.50 L) (373 K) / (173 K)

    = 5.4 L

4.

Ideal gas law states that the product of the pressure (P) and the volume (V) of an ideal gas is equal to the product of the number of moles of the gas (n), absolute temperature (T) of the gas and the universal gas constant (R).

Mathematically,

PV = nRT

5.

(a)

V = 0.500 L

P = 507 torr

T = 36 oC = (36 + 273)K = 309 K

R = 62.364 L Torr mol-1K-1

Now,

PV = nRT

n = PV / RT

   = [ (507 torr) (0.500 L) ] / [ (62.364 L Torr mol-1K-1) (309 K) ]

   = 0.013 mol

Molar mass of CO2 = 44 g/mol

So, 1 mol of CO2 = 44 g

0.013 mol of CO2 = 0.013 x 44 g = 0.572 g

(b)

V = 221 mL = 0.221 L

P = 0.23 torr

T = 54 oC = (54 + 273) K = 327 K

R = 62.364 L Torr mol-1K-1

Now,

PV = nRT

n = PV / RT

   = [ (0.23 torr) (0.221 L) ] / [ (62.364 L Torr mol-1K-1) (327 K) ]

   = 2.5 x 10-6 mol

Molar mass of He = 4 g/mol

So, 1 mol of He = 4 g

(2.5 x 10-6) mol of He = (2.5 x 10-6) x 4 g = (1.0 x 10-5) g

6.

PV = nRT

Here, V, n and R are constant. So, if the temperature is doubled then pressure will also increase by 2 times.

7.

PV = nRT

Here, T, n and R are constant.

So, PV = constant

Hence, if the volume is doubled then pressure will reduced to half (1/2).
