Gas Notes : More Problems - page 3&4

4. The gas pressure increases until it exceeds the strength of an enclosed, rigid container. As a result, the container bursts.

5. Faster, because if a substance or mixture is heated, the kinetic energy of the particles in the substance

6. High energy

7. The kelvin temperature of the enclosed gas doubles, the pressure of the enclosed gas also doubles and causing the container to bursts.

8. The volume of the gas is halved and the pressure doubled.                                                                       

Gas Laws:
  1.  Boyle’s Law- Pressure and Volume
a.       Pressure increases as you fill a tire with air because: As you increase the # of gas particles the # of            collisions               between particles and the walls of the container increases         
b.      Reducing volume causes an increase in pressure because: reducing the volume causes the number of   collisions with the container to increase   , increasing pressure
c.       Boyle’s Law- For a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the volume of the gas varies inversely with pressure. 
a.        As one goes    up        , the other goes            down   .  
b.      P x V = K     Pressure times volume is constant provided the temperature and amount of gas do not change.
A gas with a volume of 4.00 L at a pressure of 205 kPa is allowed to expand to a volume of 12.0 L. What is the pressure in the container if the temperature remains constant?          
 P1 x V1 = P2 x P2                                                                                    
250 kPa x 4.00 L = P2 x 12.0 L                                                      
P2 = 250 kPa x 4.00 L/12.0 L                                                                       
P2 = 83.33 kPa                                                                                                                              
Charles’ Law- Temperature and volume
A.    Relationship between temperature and volume can only be studied for a limited range of temperatures because: gases condense at low temperature                                                                
B.     Charles’s Law: The volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its KELVIN temperature if the pressure is constant. 
1) as one variable goes            up                    , the other goes            up                    .     
2)      V/T = K   at constant mass and pressure.
Exactly 5.00 L of air at -50.0oC is warmed to 100.0 oC.  What is the new volume if the pressure remains constant?                          
V1/T1 = V2/T2                                                                                                                                         
T1 = -50.0oC + 273 = 223 K                                                    
T2 = 100.0oC + 273 = 373 K                                                                                                                     5.00 L/223 K = V2/373 K                                                       
V2 = 5.00 L/223 K x 373 K                                                   
V2 = 8.36 L





  1. Gay-Lussac’s Law- Temperature and Pressure
When temperature increases, particles move faster and hit the walls of the container with greater energy                                      , increasing      pressure
