Answer with units.
Draw a box around your answer
1. A gas sample has a volume of 300.0 L when under a pressure of 55.0 kPa. What is the
new volume if the pressure is increased to 165 kPa while the temperature is held
constant?

2. A quantity of gas occupies a volume of 804 mL at a temperature of 27 C. At what

temperature will the volume of the gas be 402 mL, assuming that there is no change in
the pressure?

3. The gas in a closed container has a pressure of 3.00 x 10 2 kPa at 30C. What will the
pressure be if the temperature is lowered to 172.0C?

4.

A 100 L sample of gas is at a pressure of 80 kPa and a temperature of 200 K. What

volume does the same sample of gas occupy at STP?

5. What is the pressure of a 5.0 L container which contains 3.0 moles of a gas at a
temperature of 0C?
Note: Use Ideal gas law. R=8.31 (kPa x L)/(mol x K)

6. What volume does 14.0 g of Hydrogen gas (H2) take up at a temperature of 30C and a
pressure of 120 kPa?
