=
96.6 kPa
V1=
690.0 mL, T1 = 26.0˚C or 299K, T2 = 52.0˚C or 325 K, P2
= 106.6 kPa
Required: V2
Analysis: V2 = (V1
x P1 x T2) / (P2 x T1)
Solve: V2
= (690.0 mL x 96.6 kPa x 325 K)/ (106.6 kPa
x 299 K)
=
679.6 mL
*The dry volume of
the oxygen sample at 52.0 ˚C and 106.6 kPa is 679.6 mL.
Evaluate: The
answer makes sense because according to Boyle’s Law, pressure is inversely
proportional to volume, and since the pressure of the gas increases, the
resulting volume decreases.
2.

*The dry volume of this hydrogen at STP is 365.3 L
Evaluate: According to Boyle’s law, pressure is inversely proportional
to volume, while according to Charle’s Law temperature is directly proportional
to volume; and since the pressure increases and the temperature decreases, the
volume decreases.

*The gas volume of pure xenon at SATP is 9.34 L.
Evaluate: : According to Boyle’s law, pressure
is inversely proportional to volume, while according to Charle’s Law
temperature is directly proportional to volume; and since the pressure
decreases and the temperature increases, the expected outcome of volume would
be higher than the original.
