Boyle’s Law
4. The pressure of a 4.00 L sealed balloon is increased from 230.0 mm Hg to 400.0 mm Hg. What is the new
volume?
5. A balloon at 1.50 atm holds 600. mL of air. What volume would it hold if the weather changes and the pressure
changes to 755 mm Hg?
Charles’ Law
6. The volume of a tire on a race car is 6000. cm3 at a temperature of 25oC. As the race proceeds, the day gets
warmer and the temperature rises to 30.oC. Pressure does not change. What will be the volume of the tire later in
the day?
7. The same tire above (6000. cm3) inflates to 8500 cm3 at a temperature of 35oC. What was the original
temperature of the tire? Pressure is still the same.
Gay-Lussac’s Law
8. Pressure inside a jelly jar before it is sealed is equal to the room pressure of 1.75 atm at 25.0oC. After the jar is
placed in hot water at 100.oC a vacuum forms. What is the new pressure inside the jar?
9. Calculate the temperature of a jar with a pressure of 780 mm Hg if the pressure was 408 mm Hg at 285K.
Combined Gas Law
10. A weather balloon starts out on the ground at a temperature of 310 K and holds 6.5 L of air with a pressure of 4
atm. As the weather balloon rises into the atmosphere, the temperature drops to 260 K and the pressure drops to
1.0 atm. What volume of air does the balloon hold?

A balloon contains 5.3 L of helium gas when the temperature is 12oC. Assuming pressure remains constant, at what
temperature will the volume increase to 6.0 L?
While flying in an airplane, you drink a bottle of water. After emptying the 500. mL bottle, you replace the cap. The
airplane cabin is pressurized and the temperature is 23oC. When the plane landed, the outside temperature was 17oC
and the atmospheric pressure was 99.4 kPa. What happened to your empty bottle? (Don’t tell me you gave it to the
flight attendant.) What was the pressure in the cabin before it started its descent to land if the volume of the bottle on
land was 387 mL?
A sample of compressed methane gas has a volume of 648 mL at a pressure of 503 kPa. To what pressure would the gas
have to be compressed in order to have a volume of 216 mL?
A student collects a 125.0 mL sample of hydrogen gas. Later, the sample is found to have a volume of 128.6 mL at a
temperature of 26oC. At what temperature was the hydrogen collected?
