Problems

Solve the following problems.

Problem 1

Hydrogen gas contracts at constant pressure from 1.00 L to 0.95 L. The initial temperature is 20 °C. Find the final temperature of the gas?

Problem 2

Carbon dioxide gas expands from 10.0 cm3 to 11.5 cm3. The final temperature is 45 °C. Determine the initial temperature if the expansion is isobaric?

Problem 3

The temperature of a gas changes from 25 °C to 80 °C. The final volume is 100 mL. Find the initial volume?

Problem 4

During transport of steam from one industrial vessel to another, temperature drops by 5 °C. The initial temperature is 120 °C. Assume the pressure remains constant. Find the final volume if the initial volume is 4.0 m3?

Problem 5

The volume of oxygen gas at 25 °C is 10 m3. If the volume of the gas is double, what will be its new temperature?

Problem 6

The volume of a balloon of helium is 0.75 L in Los Angles. The temperature in Log Angles is 13 °C. Find the volume of the balloon in Death Valley where the temperature is 51 °C? The pressure is constant at both places.

Problem 7

A gas occupies 22.2 mL at a temperature of 358 K. Find the new volume if the temperature is reduced to 220 K?

Problem 8

A student collects an experimental gas of a volume of 730 mL at 84 °C. What will be the temperature at 700 mL if the pressure is constant?

Problem 9

A sealed syringe dipped in icy water at a temperature of −12 °C. The volume of the air in the syringe at room temperature (20 °C) is 53 mL. What is the volume in the icy water?

Problem 10

An experiment is performed on a gas under constant pressure to studies its behaviour. The volume-temperature data for a fixed amount of the gas is recorded. The data is as follows:

Find whether the gas obeys Charles' law by plotting the graph of volume vs temperature? If yes, determine absolute zero?
