    (3/2)kT

Section B · short answer

  1. 4.

    A gas occupies 18 L at 5 atm and 400 K. What is its volume at 1 atm and 520 K? (2 decimal places where needed.)

    Answer

    117 L

    p₁V₁/T₁ = p₂V₂/T₂

  2. 5.

    How many molecules are there in 49 L of a gas at 9 × 10⁵ N/m² and 460 K? (k = 1.38 × 10⁻²³ J/K)

    Answer

    6.95 × 10²⁴

    N = pV/(kT)

Section C · long answer

  1. 6.

    A cylinder of volume 7 L contains argon (molar mass 40 g/mol) at 10 × 10⁵ N/m² and 330 K. Find (a) the number of moles, (b) the mass of gas, (c) the number of molecules. (R = 8.31 J/mol K, Nₐ = 6.02 × 10²³) (2 decimal places where needed.)

    Answer

    (a) 2.55 mol; (b) 102.10 g; (c) 1.54 × 10²⁴

    n = pV/RT
