QUESTION ANSWER

1.

State Gay-Lussac’s law.

1.

The pressure of a gas is proportional to its absolute temperature.

3.

Use Gay-Lussac’s law to determine the final pressure of a gas whose initial pressure is 602 torr, initial temperature is 356 K, and final temperature is 277 K. Assume volume and amount are held constant.

3.

468 torr

5.

If 3.45 × 1022 atoms of Ar have a volume of 1.55 L at a certain temperature and pressure, what volume do 6.00 × 1023 atoms of Ar have at the same temperature and pressure?

5.

27.0 L

7.

Use Avogadro’s law to determine the final volume of a gas whose initial volume is 6.72 L, initial amount is 3.88 mol, and final amount is 6.10 mol. Assume pressure and temperature are held constant.

7.

10.6 L

9.

Use the combined gas law to complete this table.

Assume that the amount remains constant in all cases.

11.

A gas starts at the conditions 78.9 mL, 3.008 atm, and 56°C. Its conditions change to 35.6 mL and 2.55 atm.

What is its final temperature?

11.

126 K, or −147°C

13.

A gas starts with initial pressure of 7.11 atm, initial temperature of 66°C, and initial volume of 90.7 mL. If its conditions change to 33°C and 14.33 atm, what is its final volume?

13.

40.6 mL
