Avogadro's Law
Charles's Law
Gay-Lussac's Law
Boyle's Law
Charles's Law states that for a given amount of gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to its temperature on the Kelvin scale. This law helps in understanding thermal expansion in gases.
What is the ideal gas law equation?
PV = RnT
P = (nRT)/V
P = nRT
PV = nRT
The ideal gas law is expressed as PV = nRT, relating pressure, volume, number of moles, and temperature through the gas constant R. This equation is pivotal for solving problems involving gaseous systems.
Under standard temperature and pressure (STP), what are the typical conditions for a gas?
0°C and 1 atm
273 K and 1 atm
25°C and 1 atm
0°C and 760 mmHg
STP is commonly defined as 0°C (273.15 K) and 1 atm of pressure. These conditions are used as a standard reference for gas calculations and comparisons.
Which law relates the rate of effusion of gases to their molar masses?
Boyle's Law
Charles's Law
Graham's Law
Dalton's Law
Graham's Law states that the rate of effusion for a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. This concept is essential for comparing the effusion speeds of different gases.
If the volume of a gas is doubled while keeping the temperature constant, what happens to its pressure according to Boyle's Law?
It doubles.
It is halved.
It remains the same.
It increases fourfold.
Boyle's Law states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional when temperature is constant. Therefore, doubling the volume results in halving the pressure.
When a gas sample is heated from 273 K to 546 K at constant pressure, how is the volume affected based on Charles's Law?
It halves.
It increases by 50%.
It remains unchanged.
It doubles.
Charles's Law indicates that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin at constant pressure. Doubling the absolute temperature leads to a doubling of volume.
A sample of gas occupies 10.0 L at 2.0 atm pressure. If the volume is compressed to 5.0 L while keeping the temperature constant, what is the new pressure?
1.0 atm
4.0 atm
5.0 atm
2.5 atm
Applying Boyle's Law (P1V1 = P2V2), compressing the volume by half causes the pressure to double. This results in an increase from 2.0 atm to 4.0 atm.
In the ideal gas law equation PV = nRT, what does the constant R represent?
The molar mass of the gas.
The gas constant, linking energy and temperature.
The direct proportionality constant between pressure and volume.
The rate of gas expansion.
R is the universal gas constant in the ideal gas law, ensuring that pressure, volume, moles, and temperature are correctly related. Its value is key in maintaining the dimensional consistency of the equation.
A gas law problem requires converting Celsius temperature to Kelvin. What is the formula for this conversion?
K = °C/273.15
K = °C + 273.15
K = 273.15 - °C
K = °C - 273.15
To convert Celsius to Kelvin, you add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature. This conversion is crucial because gas law calculations must use the Kelvin scale, which is an absolute temperature scale.
Which of the following scenarios is an example of applying the Combined Gas Law?
Changing only pressure with constant volume.
Changing only temperature while pressure rises.
Changing temperature and pressure simultaneously.
Changing only volume while temperature remains constant.
The Combined Gas Law is applied when multiple properties (pressure, volume, and temperature) of a gas change at the same time. This law combines Boyle's, Charles's, and Gay-Lussac's laws into one equation.
Avogadro's Law establishes a relationship between the volume of a gas and which of the following?
The density.
The number of moles.
The pressure.
The temperature.
Avogadro's Law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles present, provided temperature and pressure remain constant. This principle is fundamental in connecting the mole concept with gas volumes.
A sample of gas has a density of 1.25 g/L at STP. Which of the following is necessary to calculate the molar mass of the gas using the ideal gas law?
Only the density and volume.
The pressure and the number of moles only.
The density, temperature, pressure, and gas constant.
The volume and temperature only.
To determine the molar mass using the ideal gas law, you need the density along with temperature, pressure, and the gas constant R. These parameters work together to relate the mass of the gas to its molar quantity.
According to Dalton's Law, the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is:
Equal to the average of the partial pressures.
Equal to the highest partial pressure among the gases.
Dependent only on the gas with the largest volume.
The sum of the partial pressures of the component gases.
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the pressures that each individual gas would exert if it were alone in the container. This understanding is critical when analyzing gas mixtures.
What effect does increasing the amount of gas (in moles) have on the volume at constant temperature and pressure according to Avogadro's Law?
Does not change the volume.
Increases the volume proportionally.
Decreases the volume.
Doubles the pressure.
Avogadro's Law indicates that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles at constant temperature and pressure. Thus, adding more gas will increase the volume proportionally.
A 10.0 L container holds a gas at 1.5 atm and 300 K. Using the ideal gas law (R = 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K), what is the number of moles of the gas?
Approximately 0.61 moles
Approximately 1.23 moles
Approximately 0.41 moles
Approximately 0.75 moles
Using the ideal gas law, n = PV/RT, we substitute the given values: (1.5 atm)(10.0 L) divided by (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K - 300 K) yields approximately 0.61 moles. This calculation demonstrates the practical use of the ideal gas equation.
A gas sample initially at 3.0 atm pressure occupies 4.0 L. If the gas is compressed to 2.0 L and heated from 300 K to 450 K simultaneously, what is the final pressure using the Combined Gas Law?
9.0 atm
4.5 atm
12.0 atm
6.0 atm
Using the Combined Gas Law, P2 = P1 - (V1/V2) - (T2/T1). Substituting the values gives: 3.0 atm - (4.0/2.0) - (450/300) = 9.0 atm. This problem highlights the effect of simultaneous changes in volume and temperature on pressure.
If the rate of effusion of Gas A is 1.2 times that of Gas B under identical conditions, what is the ratio of their molar masses (MA/MB) according to Graham's Law?
Approximately 1.44
Approximately 0.69
Approximately 1.0
Approximately 0.83
Graham's Law states that the rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass. Here, (Rate_A/Rate_B) = 1.2 leads to (√(MB/MA)) = 1.2, and squaring both sides gives MB/MA ≈ 1.44, yielding MA/MB ≈ 0.69.
A gas has a molar mass of 44 g/mol. At STP, what is the mass of this gas contained in a 22.4 L container?
11 g
22.4 g
88 g
44 g
At STP, one mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.4 L. Therefore, a 22.4 L container holds exactly 1 mole, which for a gas with a molar mass of 44 g/mol translates directly to 44 g.
When collecting gas over water, why is it necessary to subtract the vapor pressure of water from the total pressure?
Because the temperature of water is not relevant.
Because water vapor does not contribute to pressure.
Because the gas dissolves in water, reducing its pressure.
Because the measured total pressure includes both the gas and water vapor pressures.
When gas is collected over water, the total pressure measured includes the pressure from both the gas and the water vapor. Subtracting the vapor pressure of water isolates the pressure exerted solely by the gas.

Gas Law Practice Problems Cheat Sheet

  1. Boyle's Law - Picture a balloon in your hand: when you squeeze it, the pressure builds and the volume shrinks just like this law predicts. At constant temperature, pressure and volume are inversely related, so P₝V₝ = P₂V₂ always holds true. This principle helps you predict gas behavior in pumps, syringes, and scuba tanks. Britannica
  2. Charles's Law - Think of a hot air balloon rising as you heat the air inside: its volume expands at constant pressure. Since volume and absolute temperature (in Kelvin) are directly proportional, V₝/T₝ = V₂/T₂. This is key for understanding how engines and weather balloons work. Britannica
  3. Gay‑Lussac's Law - When you heat a sealed can of soda, the pressure inside climbs even though the volume can't change. At constant volume, pressure and absolute temperature are directly proportional, so P₝/T₝ = P₂/T₂. This concept is vital for pressure cookers and safety valves. Wikipedia
  4. Avogadro's Law - Imagine filling balloons with different gases: at the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes hold the same number of molecules. Volume and moles are directly proportional, so V₝/n₝ = V₂/n₂. That's why chemists count moles to predict gas volumes in reactions. Wikipedia
  5. Combined Gas Law - When pressure, volume, and temperature all change, you can't use a single simple law - you need the Combined Gas Law. It brings Boyle's, Charles's, and Gay‑Lussac's laws together: (P₝V₝)/T₝ = (P₂V₂)/T₂. Perfect for solving real-world problems like engine cycles and weather patterns. The Physics Classroom
  6. Ideal Gas Law - This superstar equation ties pressure, volume, temperature, and moles into one neat package: PV = nRT. It's your go‑to tool when any one of the four variables is unknown. From balloons to climate models, it's the backbone of gas calculations. Wikipedia
  7. Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures - In a gas cocktail, each component contributes its own "sip" of pressure. The total pressure is just the sum of the individual partial pressures: Pₜₒₜ₝ₗ = P₝ + P₂ + P₃ + …. This idea is crucial in diving mixtures and respiratory physiology. Purdue ChemEd
  8. Graham's Law of Effusion - Ever wonder why helium escapes a balloon faster than sulfur hexafluoride? Lighter gases effuse more quickly because rate ∝ 1/√molar mass. The formula (Rate₝/Rate₂) = √(M₂/M₝) explains the speed race. Great for separating isotopes and analyzing air samples. Wikipedia
  9. Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) - Chemists need a common reference point, so STP is set at 0 °C (273.15 K) and 1 atm. Under these conditions, one mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 L. It's the baseline for comparing gas volumes in labs and textbooks. LibreTexts
  10. Real Gases vs. Ideal Gases - In the real world, gases don't always behave ideally - high pressure and low temperature lead to deviations. Attractions and finite molecular size cause differences from PV = nRT predictions. Understanding these nuances is essential for industrial processes and high‑precision experiments. Wikipedia
