Mixed Gas Law Worksheet answers(modified 3/18/12)

Convert:

100 mmHg = __13.3___ kPa 300 mmHg = ___.395__ atm

120 atm = ___91200_ mmHg 300 torr = ___39.99__ kPa

25 kPa = __187.5__ mmHg 25 mmHg = __.033___ atm

300oC = _573_ K 150K = _-123_oC 5000oC = _5273__K

300K = _27__ oC -255oC = _18__ K 3500K = _3227_oC

200oC = _392_oF 95oF = __35_oC = _308_K 45oF = _7.2_oC = _280.2_K

1) A 70. liter sample of gas initially at 280oC is allowed to cool at constant pressure, what
will the new volume be at 0oC?
P1 = P2 =

V1 = V2 = 34.6 L
T1 = T2 =

2) A 4.0 liter sample of gas initially at 25oC is allowed to cool at constant pressure, what will
the new volume be at -5oC?
P1 = P2 =

V1 = V2 = 3.6 L
T1 = T2 =

3) A buoyancy vest (used in scuba diving) is filled to a volume of 2.3 liters at a pressure of 1
atmosphere (at the surface where the temperature is a balmy 300K), what will the
volume of air be in the vest when the diver dives to a depth of about 90 feet where the
temperature is 17oC and the pressure is 4 atmospheres?
P1 = P2 =

V1 = V2 = 0.56 L
T1 = T2 =
4) A 35 liter sample of gas is initially at 15oC and 800 mmHg. Conditions are changed to
303K and 1.5 atm, what is the new volume of the gas?
P1 = P2 =

V1 = V2 = 25.8 L
T1 = T2 =

5) Which gas would diffuse faster from the surface of a planet water vapor (H 2O) or oxygen (O2)?
How many times faster? (H = 1, O = 16) ( can you understand why most people think that
Mars is “dry”)

H2O is 1.33 times faster (because it’s a

lighter molecule and less dense, KE=1/2 mv2
so lower mass (m) means higher velocity
(v))

6) How many liters of Chlorine gas could be collected at 800 mmHg and 35 oC if you decompose
60.0 grams of silver(I) chloride according to the following equation?
(Ag = 107.8, Cl = 35.5)

(Write and balance the equation; Do the stoichiometery at S.T.P first then convert to the given
conditions or use the ideal gas equation)

P1 = P2 =

V1 = V2 = 5.03 L
T1 = T2 =

7. In a certain experiment a sample of helium in a vacuum system was compressed at 25 °C

from a volume of 200.0 mL to a volume of 0.240 mL where its pressure was found to be
30.0 mm Hg. What was the original pressure of the helium?
 P1 = P2 =

V1 = V2 = 0.036 mmHg
T1 = T2 =

8. A hydrogen gas volume thermometer has a volume of 100.0 cm3 when immersed in an
ice-water bath at 0 °C. When immersed in boiling liquid chlorine, the volume of the
hydrogen at the same pressure is 87.2 cm3. Find the temperature of the boiling point of
chlorine in °C.

P1 = P2 =

V1 = V2 = 238 K = -35oC
T1 = T2 =

9. 2.50 grams of XeF4 is introduced into an evacuated 3.00 liter container at 80.0 °C. Find
the pressure in atmospheres in the container. (convert to moles at S.T.P first then convert to
the given conditions or use the ideal gas equation)

P1 = P2 =

V1 = V2 = 0.116 atm
T1 = T2 =
10. A lighter-than-air balloon is designed to rise to a height of 6 miles at which point it will
be fully inflated. At that altitude the atmospheric pressure is 210 mm Hg and the
temperature is -40 °C. If the full volume of the balloon is 100,000.0 L, how many
kilograms of helium will be needed to inflate the balloon? (determine the volume at S.T.P;
convert to moles; convert to grams then kilograms or use the ideal gas equation)

5.78 kg He
