Gas Laws

A gas that has a pressure of 2 atm and a volume of 10 L.  What would be the new volume if the pressure was changed to 1 atm?

• P1/T1 = P2/T2
• P1V1 = P2V2
• V1/n1 = V2/n2
• PV = nRT

A sample of a gas has a volume of 852 mL at 298 K. What temperature is necessary for the gas to have a volume of 945 mL?

• Pt = P1 + P2 + P3 + ...
• P1V1 = P2V2
• V1/T1 = V2/T2
• P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

• 5.0 L

• 8.2 L

• 3.9 L
