B) Ideal Gas Law Problems
1) A sealed container has 4.1 moles of Ne gas inside of it. What is the volume of the container if it is being held at a constant
pressure of 432 kPa and temperature of 21 degrees C?
2) How many moles of Kr would there be in a balloon that has a volume of 3 liters under normal atmospheric pressure of
101.3 kPa and a constant room temperature of 70 degrees F?
(Adv. Science….Convert moles to grams and number of total atoms)
C) Examples of Gas Laws
For each problem, define what law it is describing then explain what you would expect to happen.
1) The temperature inside my refrigerator is about 40 Celsius. If I place a balloon in my fridge that initially has a temperature
of 220 C and a volume of 0.5 liters, what will be the volume of the balloon when it is fully cooled by my refrigerator?
Law: ____________________________
Outcome:
2) A container of gas has a temperature of 14 0C, and a volume of 4.5 liters. If the temperature is held constant at 14 0C and
volume of the contain changes to 2.3 liters, what will happen to the pressure?
Law: ____________________________
Outcome:
3) Little Katie is sitting upstairs in her room while her mother cooks dinner. At first she doesn’t smelt the aroma but over
time she can start to smell the cooking of the homemade pizza.
Law: ____________________________
Outcome:
5) The tub of water pictured below has two different solutions of water separated by a semi permeable membrane. What
would you expect to happen?
Law: ____________________________
