Which of the following statements is false? Unlike the volume of a solid or a liquid, the volume of the container determines the volume of a gas. KMT explains that all particles are constantly in motion, and the speed at which the particles travel is dependent on the temperature. Compared to the volumes of solids, and liquids, gas volumes are relatively unaffected by changes in temperature and pressure. The densities of gases are much lower than the densities of liquids. It is easier for scientists use volume of a gas instead of the mass of the gas in order to determine the amount of that particular gas.

Helium gas, He, at 22C and 1.00 atm occupied a vessel whose volume was 2.54 L. What volume would this gas occupy if it were cooled to liquid-nitrogen temperature (197C)?
Urea, NH2CONH2, is a nitrogen fertilizer that is manufactured from ammonia and carbon dioxide. 2NH2(g)+CO2(g)NH2CONH2(aq)+H2O(l) What volume of ammonia at 25C and 3.00 atm is needed to produce 908 g (2 lb) of urea?
Target check For each of the macroscopic charcateristics unique to the gas phase of matter described in section 4.1-a compressibility, b expandability, c low density, d may be mixed in a fixed volume, and e uniform, constant pressure on container walls-describe how a postulate of the kinetic molecular theory explains the reason for the characteristic.
Pressures of gases in mixtures are referred to as partial pressures and are additive. 1.00 L of He gas at 0.75 atm is mixed with 2.00 L of Ne gas at 1.5 atm at a temperature of 25.0 C to make a total volume of 3.00 L of a mixture. Assuming no temperature change and that He and Ne can be approximated as ideal gases, what are a the total resulting pressure, b the partial pressures of each component, and c the mole fractions of each gas in the mix?
A certain flexible weather balloon contains helium gas at a volume of 855 L. Initially, the balloon is at sea level where the temperature is 25C and the barometric pressure is 730 torr. The balloon then rises to an altitude of 6000 ft, where the pressure is 605 torr and the temperature is 15C. What is the change in volume of the balloon as it ascends from sea level to 6000 ft?
