- D.
1.90 mol
Correct Answer
D. 1.90 molExplanation
The ideal gas law, PV = nRT, can be used to solve this problem. First, convert the temperature to Kelvin by adding 273.15 to 31.8 °C, giving 304.95 K. Next, convert the pressure to Pascals by multiplying 4.972 atm by 101325 Pa/atm, giving 504238.9 Pa. Rearranging the ideal gas law equation to solve for n, we have n = PV / RT. Plugging in the values, we get n = (504238.9 Pa)(9.583 L) / (8.314 J/(mol K))(304.95 K). Simplifying this expression gives us n = 1.90 mol. Therefore, the number of moles of N2 in the tank is 1.90 mol.Rate this question:

According to Gay-Lussac’s law:
- A.
Pressure is inversely proportional to volume at constant temperature.
- B.
Pressure is directly proportional to temperature at constant volume
- C.
Volume is inversely proportional to temperature at constant pressure
- D.
Volume is directly proportional to temperature at constant pressure.
Correct Answer
B. Pressure is directly proportional to temperature at constant volumeExplanation
Gay-Lussac's law states that pressure is directly proportional to temperature at constant volume. This means that as the temperature of a gas increases, the pressure it exerts also increases, as long as the volume remains constant. This relationship can be explained by the kinetic theory of gases, which states that an increase in temperature leads to an increase in the average kinetic energy of gas molecules. This increased kinetic energy results in more frequent and forceful collisions with the walls of the container, thereby increasing the pressure.Rate this question:

When a bicycle reaches the top of a hill with a tire volume of 0.80 L, the atmospheric pressure is 9.0 atm. What is the maximum volume of air that can be filled in the tire just before it bursts?
- A.
0.088 L
- B.
1.2 L
- C.
8.9 L
- D.
11 L
Correct Answer
A. 0.088 LExplanation
The maximum volume of air that can be filled in the tire just before it bursts is 0.088 L. This can be determined by using Boyle's Law, which states that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional at constant temperature. Since the atmospheric pressure is 9.0 atm and the tire volume is 0.80 L, we can set up the equation (9.0 atm)(0.80 L) = (x atm)(0.088 L), where x is the maximum volume of air. Solving for x gives us x = 0.088 L.Rate this question:

A 2.50 L balloon is filled with water at 2.27 atm. If the balloon is squeezed into a 0.80 L beaker and does NOT burst, what is the pressure of water in the balloon?
- A.
0.72 atm
- B.
0.88 atm
- C.
7.1 atm
- D.
8.8 atm
Correct Answer
C. 7.1 atmExplanation
When the balloon is squeezed into the beaker, the volume of the water remains the same, but the volume of the container decreases. According to Boyle's Law, when the volume of a gas decreases, the pressure increases. Therefore, the pressure of the water in the balloon will increase. Since the initial pressure was 2.27 atm and the initial volume was 2.50 L, and the final volume is 0.80 L, we can use the equation P1V1 = P2V2 to find the final pressure. Solving for P2, we get P2 = (P1 * V1) / V2 = (2.27 atm * 2.50 L) / 0.80 L = 7.1 atm.Rate this question:

2.25mL
- B.
3.78 mL
- C.
4.34 mL
- D.
6.85 mL
Correct Answer
C. 4.34 mLExplanation
As the pressure remains constant at 203.0 kPa, we can use the combined gas law to solve this problem. The combined gas law equation is P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, where P1 and P2 are the initial and final pressures, V1 and V2 are the initial and final volumes, and T1 and T2 are the initial and final temperatures. Since the pressure remains constant, we can simplify the equation to V1/T1 = V2/T2. Plugging in the given values, we have (4.50 mL)/(20.0°C) = V2/(10.0°C). Solving for V2, we find that V2 = (4.50 mL)(10.0°C)/(20.0°C) = 4.34 mL. Therefore, the volume will be 4.34 mL at 10.0°C.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. 50.5 LExplanation
When a gas is heated, its volume increases if the pressure and amount of gas are kept constant. This relationship is described by Charles's Law. According to Charles's Law, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin. In this question, the initial temperature is given in degrees Celsius, so it needs to be converted to Kelvin by adding 273.15. The initial temperature is 90.0°C + 273.15 = 363.15 K, and the final temperature is 186.0°C + 273.15 = 459.15 K. The initial volume of the fluorine gas is 40.0 L. Using the formula V1/T1 = V2/T2, we can calculate the final volume. Plugging in the values, we get (40.0 L)/(363.15 K) = V2/(459.15 K). Solving for V2, we find that the final volume is approximately 50.5 L. Therefore, the correct answer is 50.5 L.Rate this question:

- B.
1.11 L
- C.
2.01 L
- D.
6.70 L
Correct Answer
C. 2.01 LExplanation
When the temperature of a gas is increased at constant pressure, the volume of the gas also increases. This relationship is described by Charles's Law. Charles's Law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin, as long as the pressure remains constant. In this question, the initial volume is given as 1.50 L at 30.0°C. To use Charles's Law, the temperature must be in Kelvin, so we convert 30.0°C to 303.15 K. The final temperature is given as 134.0°C, which is 407.15 K. We can set up a proportion using the initial and final temperatures and volumes:
(V1 / T1) = (V2 / T2)
(1.50 L / 303.15 K) = (V2 / 407.15 K)
Solving for V2, we find that V2 is approximately 2.01 L. Therefore, the gas will occupy a volume of 2.01 L when the temperature is raised to 134.0°C at constant pressure.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 1.66 LExplanation
The volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature and inversely proportional to the pressure. In this case, the temperature decreases from 32.0°C to 21.0°C, which causes the volume of the diver's lungs to decrease. The pressure increases from 101.30 kPa to 141.20 kPa, which also causes the volume to decrease. Therefore, the volume of the diver's lungs at 10.00 m, at a temperature of 21.0°C, and a pressure of 141.20 kPa is smaller than the original lung capacity of 2.40 L. Among the given options, the closest value to the new volume is 1.66 L.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 0.312 LExplanation
According to Boyle's Law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure, assuming constant temperature. As the pressure increases from 150.00 kPa to 600.0 kPa, the volume of the gas will decrease. Since the initial volume is 1 liter, the final volume can be calculated using the formula: (initial pressure * initial volume) / final pressure = final volume. Plugging in the values, we get (150.00 kPa * 1 L) / 600.0 kPa = 0.25 L. Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 0.312 L.Rate this question:

The volume of air in human lungs increases before it is exhaled. What happens to the temperature of the air in the lungs to cause this change, assuming pressure stays constant?
- A.
Increases
- B.
Decreases
- C.
Stays the same.
Correct Answer
A. IncreasesExplanation
When the volume of air in the human lungs increases, the temperature of the air also increases. This is due to the fact that when the lungs expand, the air molecules inside them have more space to move around and collide with each other. As a result, the kinetic energy of the air molecules increases, leading to a rise in temperature.Rate this question:

An aerosol can of air freshener is sprayed into a room. What happens to the pressure of the gas if its temperature stays constant?
- A.
Increases
- B.
Decreases
- C.
Stays the same.
Correct Answer
B. DecreasesExplanation
When an aerosol can of air freshener is sprayed into a room, the pressure of the gas inside the can decreases. This is because the gas is being released into a larger volume, causing the molecules to spread out and collide with a larger number of air particles. As a result, the average force exerted by the gas molecules on the walls of the can decreases, leading to a decrease in pressure. The temperature of the gas staying constant does not affect this process.Rate this question:

What happens to the pressure of the gas in an inflated expandable balloon if the temperature is increased?
- A.
Increases
- B.
Decreases
- C.
Stays the same.
Correct Answer
C. Stays the same.Explanation
When the temperature of a gas inside an inflated expandable balloon is increased, the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules also increases. As a result, the gas molecules move faster and collide with the walls of the balloon more frequently and with greater force. This increased frequency and force of collisions exert a greater pressure on the walls of the balloon. However, since the balloon is expandable, it can stretch and accommodate the increased pressure. Therefore, the pressure inside the balloon remains the same when the temperature is increased.Rate this question:

What happens to the pressure of a gas in a lightbulb a few minutes after the light is turned on?
- A.
Increases
- B.
Decreases
- C.
Stays the same.
Correct Answer
A. IncreasesExplanation
When a lightbulb is turned on, the filament inside the bulb heats up and emits light. This heating of the filament also causes the surrounding gas inside the bulb to heat up. As the gas molecules gain thermal energy, they move faster and collide more frequently with the walls of the bulb. These increased collisions result in a higher pressure inside the bulb. Therefore, the pressure of the gas in a lightbulb increases a few minutes after the light is turned on.Rate this question:
