Here are the answers to each question based on gas laws and relationships:
Question 1: A) As the pressure of a gas decreases to half its original value, what happens to the volume of the gas if the temperature is held constant?
- Answer: The volume increases to twice its original value.
Question 2: A) Which table correctly shows the relationships between volume, pressure, and temperature of an enclosed gas?
- Answer:
- Quantities Relationship
- volume & temperature directly proportional
- pressure & volume inversely proportional
- pressure & temperature directly proportional
Question 3: A) A chemist heats a fixed amount of gas in a sealed glass container. Which law is the chemist most likely investigating?
- Answer: Gay-Lussac’s law, by seeing how changes in temperature affect the pressure of the gas.
Question 4: A) Which formula shows a correct representation of the combined gas law?
- Answer: P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
Question 5: A) Which statement best describes the graph of the relationship between the volume and temperature of an enclosed gas?
- Answer: It is a straight line with a positive slope showing that an increase in temperature results in an increase in volume.
Question 6: A) There are 300 light particles in an airtight container. Which adjustment would increase the speed of the particles?
- Answer: keeping the pressure constant and increasing the temperature.
Question 7: A) Which observation is inconsistent with the ideal gas law?
- Answer: When temperature is held constant and volume increases, the pressure increases.
Question 8: A) The relationships among which variable quantities are expressed by the ideal gas law equation?
- Answer: pressure, volume, temperature, number of moles.
Question 9: A) Which measure of a gas does the expression nRT represent?
- Answer: number of moles.
Question 10: Given R=0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K), what is the volume of 1 mole of gas at a pressure of 3.12 atm and a temperature of 270K?
- Answer: 22.2 L/mol.
Question 11: Given R=0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K), how many moles of gas are in a 1.25 L container at 300K and 2.07 atm?
- Answer: 0.067 mol.
Question 12: A gaseous product of a reaction is collected at 280K and 0.95 atm. Given R=0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K), what is the molar mass of the gas, in grams per mole, if 5.49 g of gas occupies 4.92 L?
- Answer: 27 g/mol.
Question 13: The molar volume of a gas increases by a factor of 2. Which parameter change could have caused the shift in molar volume?
- Answer: the temperature increasing by a factor of 2.
Question 14: When the pressure of a gas decreases, which quantity will increase, assuming all other variables are held constant?
- Answer: V.
Question 15: Two balloons hold two different gases. The gases are held at the same pressure, volume, and temperature. Which quantity can differ between the two gases?
- Answer: the mass of each gas.
Question 16: Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the volume of a gas and its temperature, in Kelvin, assuming pressure is held constant?
- Answer: The relationship is directly proportional; as temperature increases, volume increases in the same way.
These answers reflect the fundamental principles of gas laws as described by Boyle's Law, Charles's Law, and the Ideal Gas Law.
