gas worksheet


1.      a measure of how much the volume of matter decreases under pressure                            compressibility                                 
2.      the pressure exerted by a gas in a mixture           partial pressure                                                                                                               
3.      the escape of gas through a small hole in a container      effusion                                                                                              
4.      tendency of molecules to move to regions of lower concentration           diffusion                                                             
5.      Why is it easier to compress a gas than a liquid or solid?                                 It is easier to compress a gas than a liquid or solid because unlike those two, gas particles are quite further away from each other compared to liquid and solid particles, which are quite intact. Thus, there’s more space between the gas particles causing them to be compressed easily.        
6.      Why does the pressure inside a container of gas increase if more gas is added to the container?                                The pressure inside the container of a gas increases because less space is being created by adding more gas particles into it. In addition, according to Boyle’s Law, the volume of gas is inversely proportional to pressure, that is, when adding  more gas particles in the container, less space is created, meaning less volume, thus pressure increases.
7.      What happens to the temperature of a gas when it is compressed?         The temperature of the gas increases as the gas is compressed because the air particles are more brought closer to each other, thus increasing the chance of colliding with each other causing the rise in temperature.
8.      As the temperature of the gas in a balloon decreases, which of the following occurs?     When the temperature of the gas decreases, the volume also decreases and eventually condenses. 
9.      What happens to the pressure of a gas inside a container if the temperature of the gas decreases?         As the gas temperature decreases, the pressure of gas inside a container also decreases because according to Gay – Lussac’s Law, pressure of gas is directly proportional to its temperature.                
10.  If a balloon is heated, what happens to the pressure of the air inside the balloon if the volume remains constant?                 When the balloon is heated, the pressure inside it increases causing the balloon to expand. 
11.  If a balloon is heated, what happens to the volume of the air in the balloon if the pressure is constant?                 If a balloon is heated, the volume of the air in the balloon increases.
12.  An ideal gas CANNOT be
a.       condensed         c.             heated
b.      cooled                  d.            compressed
13.  Under what conditions of temperature and pressure is the behavior of real gases most like that of ideal gases:                         Real gases behave more like that of an ideal gases when they have high temperature and low pressure.
14.  Which of the following gases will effuse most rapidly?  Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, or helium.  Why?                Hydrogen will effuse most rapidly because it has the least molar mass among the gases given. And according to Graham’s Law of effusion, the rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root the molar mass of the gas. Therefore, hydrogen, having the least molar mass value, will effuse most rapidly.  




For each of the following, show your work, include correct units and box or highlight your answers.  Hint: figure out which gas law you need to use first.

15.  The volume of a gas is 25L at 349.0 kPa pressure. What will the volume be when the pressure is reduced to 50.0 kPa, assuming the temperature remains constant?

                                           V2 = 55mL (312 K) / 268 K
                                                 = 64.0 mL

            The gas will occupy 64.0 mL at 39.0oC           .

                                            P2 = 987 kPa (273 K) / 713 kPa
                                                 = 377.9 kPa
            The pressure of O2 in the container at 273 K is 377.9 kPa.

                                     Analysis: P1 x V1/ T1 = P2 x V2 / T2
                                   99kPa (567 mL) / 308 K = V2 101.3 kPa / 273 K
                                   V2 = [(99 kPa)(567 mL)(273 K)] / 101.3 kPa (308 K)
                                        = 491.2 mL

            The gas will have a volume of 491.2 mL at temperature of 273 K and a pressure of 101.3 kPa.

                                         =  0.1 mol N2

There are 0.1 mol of N2 in a flask with a volume of 0.870 L at a pressure of 300.0 kPa and a temperature of 300.0 K

                          Required: Pressure (P)
                           Analysis: Convert the mass of O2 to moles first, n O2 = 87 g x 1 mol/ 2(16g)
                                                                                                                = 2.7 mol O2
                                        P = nRT/V

                           Solve: P = 2.7 mol x [8.31 (L*kPa)/ (K*mol)] x 575 K / 2.0 L

                                             Solve: R1/R2= √ ( 71g / 159.8g)
                                                                  = 0.45
            Bromine gas will effuse 0.45 times slower than chlorine gas.                                                                                                                                                             
23.  How does the air pressure in a balloon change when the balloon is squeezed? Explain why this change occurs.            When the balloon is squeezed, it creates a smaller room making the gas particles to come closer together, hence resulting to more collision of the gas particles that increases the pressure.                                                                                                     
24.  How does the pressure of an enclosed gas in a rigid container change when the gas is heated? Explain why this change occurs. When the container is heated, the gas particles became excited and moves rapidly colliding with the container and other particles and as a result, the gas inside expand, thus changing the pressure.                                                                                                                                                                                                              
25.  Explain how pumping air into a bicycle tire increases the pressure within the tire.    As you pump air into the bike, more gas particles are added in the tire. _With this, it creates less room for the gas particles that’s why they are brought closer together increasing the tendency of collision among particles resulting to higher pressure inside the tire.                                                                                                                                                                                               




#21-27 with the evaluation

Given: V1 = 25L, P1 = 349.0 kPa , P2 = 50. 0 kPa
Required: V2 
Analysis: V1 x P1 = V2 x P2

Calculation:  25L x 349.0 kPa = V2 x 50.0 kPa
V2 = 25L (349.0kPa) / 50.0 kPa =174.5L
                                         
Paraphrase: When the pressure is reduced to 50.0 kPa, the volume increases to 174.5L .
Evaluation: It makes sense because when pressure decreases, volume will increase.

  1. A gas has a volume of 55 mL at a temperature of –5.0C. What volume will the gas occupy at 39.0C?
Given: V1 = 55 mL, T1 = -5.0oC or 268 K , T2 = 39oC or 312 K
Required : V2
Analysis: V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

Calculation:  55mL / 268 K = V2 / 312 K
V2 = 55mL (312 K) / 268 K= 64.0 mL

Paraphrase: The gas will occupy 64.0 mL at 39.0oC
Evaluation: The answer makes sense because volume will increase if temperature increases.

  1. A rigid container of O has a pressure of 987 kPa at a temperature of 713 K. What is the pressure at 273 K? Given: P1 = 987 kPa, T1 = 713 K, T2 = 273 K
Required : P2
Analysis: P1/ T1 = P2 / T2

Calculation: 987 kPa/ 713 K = P2/ 273 K
P2 = 987 kPa (273 K) / 713 kPa = 377.9 kPa

Paraphrase: pressure of O2 in the container at 273 K is 377.9 kPa.
Evaluation: The new pressure is lower than the last pressure. This answer makes sense because pressure decreases as the temperature decreases.

  1. A gas occupies a volume of 567 mL at 35.0C and 99 kPa. What is the volume of the gas at 273 K and 101.3 kPa (STP)?
Given: V1 = 567 mL, T1 = 35.0oC or 308 K, P1 = 99 kPa, P2 = 101.3 kPa, T2 = 273 K
Required: V2
Analysis: P1 x V1/ T1 = P2 x V2 / T2

Calculation: 99kPa (567 mL) / 308 K = V2 101.3 kPa / 273 K
V2 = [(99 kPa)(567 mL)(273 K)] / 101.3 kPa (308 K) = 491.2 mL

Paraphrase: The gas will have a volume of 491.2 mL at temperature of 273 K and a pressure of 101.3 kPa.
Evaluation:  It’s reasonable that the new volume is smaller than the last volume because the temperature drops and the pressure is bigger.  
                
5.     How many moles of N are in a flask with a volume of 0.870 L at a pressure of 300.0 kPa and a temperature of 300.0 K?
Given: P = 300.0 kPa, V = 0.870 L, T = 300.0 K, R = 8.31 (L*kPa)/ (K*mol)
Required: n of N2
Analysis: n = PV/ RT

Calculation: n = 300.0 kPa (0.870 L)/ [8.31 (L*kPa)/ (K*mol) x ( 300.0 K)] =  0.1 mol N2

Paraphrase: There are 0.1 mol of N2 in a flask with a volume of 0.870 L at a pressure of 300.0 kPa and a temperature of 300.0 K
Evaluation: It’s reasonable that the number of moles is very little because the temperature is very high and the volume is really small.

6.     What is the pressure exerted by 87 g of O in a 2.0-L container at 302.0C?
Given: mass = 87 g, V= 2.0 L, T = 302.0C or 575 K
Required: Pressure (P)
Analysis: Convert the mass of O2 to moles first, n O2 = 87 g x 1 mol/ 2(16g) = 2.7 mol O2
P = nRT/V

Calculation: P = 2.7 mol x [8.31 (L*kPa)/ (K*mol)] x 575 K / 2.0 L = 6450.6 kPa

Paraphrase: The pressure exerted by 87 g O2 in a 2.0 L container at 302C is 6450.6 kPa.
Evaluation: It makes sense that the pressure is very high because the volume is really small and the temperature is really high.

7.     A mixture of gases at a total pressure of 234 kPa contains N, CO, and O. The partial pressure of the CO is 124 kPa and the partial pressure of the N is 48 kPa. What is the partial pressure of the O?
Given: Ptotal = 234 kPa, Pnitrogen = 48 kPa, PCarbon dioxide = 124 kPa
Required: Poxygen
Analysis:  Poxygen = : Ptotal  - ( Pnitrogen +  PCarbon dioxide )

Calculation: Poxygen  = 234 kPa – (48 kPa + 124 kPa) = 62 kPa

Paraphrase: The partial pressure of oxygen is 62 kPa.
Evaluation: The answer makes sense because the partial pressure of oxygen is smaller than the total pressure.
