Answer all questions. Show all calculations and include units in your final answers. Calculators
are allowed, but no external reference materials may be used.
1. A 12.0 L container holds 0.75 moles of helium gas at a temperature of 310 K. What is
the pressure inside the container? (R = 0.0821 L•atm/mol•K)
2. A gas sample has a pressure of 2.5 atm, a volume of 3.6 L, and a temperature of 400 K.
If the gas is compressed to 1.2 L while keeping the temperature constant, what will the
new pressure be?
3. A mixture of gases contains 0.40 moles of O₂, 0.25 moles of N₂, and 0.15 moles of CO₂
in a 5.0 L container at 298 K. Calculate the partial pressure of each gas and the total
pressure of the system.
4. A gas cylinder contains 3.0 moles of argon and is heated from 298 K to 450 K at
constant volume. If the initial pressure was 2.0 atm, calculate the final pressure.
5. A gas sample of 1.00 mole is measured at 5.0 L, 10.0 atm, and 273 K. Calculate the
compressibility factor (Z) and explain whether this indicates ideal or non-ideal behavior.
6. A gas sample behaves non-ideally due to intermolecular forces and finite molecular
volume. If its Van der Waals constants are a = 4.2 L²atm/mol² and b = 0.037 L/mol,
calculate the pressure for 1.5 moles of the gas in a 2.0 L container at 300 K using the
Van der Waals equation:
(R = 0.0821 L•atm/mol•K)
7. A gas sample is collected over water at 298 K, where the atmospheric pressure is 760
torr. If the vapor pressure of water at 298 K is 23.8 torr and the gas occupies 2.5 L,
calculate the number of moles of the dry gas.
8. A rigid steel tank contains 0.85 moles of methane gas at 350 K and 3.8 atm. The tank is
heated to 475 K. Calculate the final pressure of the gas and describe any assumptions
made.
9. A 10.0 g sample of an unknown gas occupies 8.5 L at 298 K and 1.5 atm. Determine the
molar mass of the gas.
10. A balloon is filled with a gas at a pressure of 1.2 atm and a temperature of 290 K. It has
a volume of 2.0 L. If the gas is heated to 400 K and expands to 3.5 L, what is the final
pressure?
11. A scuba diver’s tank contains 50.0 L of air at a pressure of 200 atm and a temperature of
300 K. If the diver uses the tank at a depth where the pressure is 4.0 atm and the
temperature is 285 K, calculate the volume of air available to the diver.
12. A gas undergoes the following changes: initial state (P₁ = 1.5 atm, V₁ = 4.0 L, T₁ = 300 K)
and final state (P₂ = 3.0 atm, V₂ = ? L, T₂ = 450 K). Calculate the final volume of the gas.
13. A gas occupies 3.0 L at 2.0 atm and 350 K. It undergoes isothermal expansion to a
volume of 8.0 L. Calculate the work done by the gas during the expansion. (1 atm =
101.3 J)
Bonus Question:
14. Two gases, hydrogen and nitrogen, are mixed in a container. The partial pressure of
hydrogen is 1.2 atm, and the partial pressure of nitrogen is 2.8 atm. If the total pressure
is reduced to 2.0 atm at constant temperature and volume, what are the new partial
pressures of hydrogen and nitrogen?
