Chapter 5 Review Flashcards
In a chemical reaction, a gas has a final pressure of 1.37 atm. What is the equivalent pressure in units of torr?
1,040 torr
A manometer shows a mercury level of 225 mm Hg on the closed end of the tube and 108 mm Hg on the open end. If the atmospheric pressure is 760 torr, what is the pressure of the gas (in mm Hg or torr) in the closed end of the manometer?
643 torr
If a gas exerts pressure of 2.25 atm, what is its pressure in millimeters of mercury?
1710 mm Hg
What will happen to the volume of a gas if the pressure is decreased? Assume that the amount of gas and the temperature remain constant.
The volume will increase
Suppose you are holding a balloon that contains 28 L of air at a standard atmospheric pressure of 14.7 lb / in2. If you squeezed the balloon until the pressure inside was 55 lb / in2, what would the final volume of the squeezed balloon be? Assume that the temperature remains constant.
7.5 L
Using Boyle’s Law, predict what will happen to the volume of a gas if there is an increase in pressure. Assume that the temperature and the number of moles of gas remain constant.
The volume will decrease.
Suppose you fill a balloon with 23 L of gas at an atmospheric pressure of 1.0 atm. What will the new volume of the balloon be if you place it in an area that has an atmospheric pressure of 0.45 atm?
51 L
According to Charles’s Law, what will happen to the temperature of a gas if the volume is decreased (while the gas remains at a constant pressure)?
The temperature will decrease.
At what temperature (Kelvin) would a gas have no volume at all?
0 K
Suppose that 2.3 L of gas at 35°C and 1.0 atm is expanded to 4.5 L at 42°C. What will the final pressure of the gas be?
0.52 atm
Suppose you have a sample of gas. You simultaneously decrease the volume and raise the temperature. What happens to the pressure?
the pressure goes up
Suppose that a 4.0 L sample of gas at 1.0 atm is heated from 44°C to 53°C, and during this process the volume doubles. What will the final pressure of the gas sample be?
0.51 atm
The Combined Gas Law states that (PiVi / Ti ) = (PfVf / Tf ). Which statement best explains how this law also includes Boyle’s Law?
When the temperature is constant, the pressure and volume are inversely proportional.
A helium balloon at 25°C, 1 atm, has a volume of 2.88 L. Additional helium is pumped into the balloon. It now contains 1.20 g of He and its new volume is 7.20 L. How many moles of helium gas did the balloon contain originally?
0.12 mol
What empirical gas law is illustrated when inflating a balloon?
Avogadro’s law
A helium balloon contains 0.10 mol of gas and has a volume of 2.4 L (at 25°C, 1 atm). We inflate the balloon by adding 0.13 mol of helium. What is the new volume of the balloon?
5.5 L
Calculate the pressure of 0.800 moles of helium gas, when the gas is in a balloon with a volume of 2.30 L at a temperature of 32°C.
8.71 atm
