Concept Introduction:
The final pressure of the gas at the constant temperature can be calculated using Boyle’s law, which states the relationship between pressure and volume of the gas.
According to Boyle’s Law, the volume of fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas at constant temperature. Mathematically, it is given as.
We two different sets of volume and pressure of the gas is considered, the above equation becomes as follows:

- 5-27 A sample of the inhalation anesthetic gas Halothane, C2HBrCIF3, in a 500-mL cylinder has a pressure of 2.3 atm at 0°C. What will be the pressure of the gas if its temperature is warmed to 37 °C (body temperature)?arrow_forward5-34 A sample of 30.0 mL of krypton gas, Kr, is at 756 mm Hg and 25.0°C. What is the new volume if the pressure is decreased to 325 mm Hg and the temperature is decreased to-12.5°C?arrow_forward5-33 A certain quantity of helium gas is at a temperature of 27 °C and a pressure of 1.00 atm. What will the new temperature be if its volume is doubled at the same time that its pressure is decreased to one-half its original value?arrow_forward
- 5-38 What is the volume in liters occupied by 1.21 g of Freon-12 gas, CCI2F2, at 0.980 atm and 35°C?arrow_forward5-41 Does the density of a gas increase, decrease, or stay the same as the pressure increases at constant temperature? As the temperature increases at constant pressure?arrow_forward5-16 Answer true or false. (a) For a sample of gas at constant temperature, its pressure multiplied by its volume is a constant. (b) For a sample of gas at constant temperature, increasing the pressure increases the volume. (c) For a sample of gas at constant temperature, (d) As a gas expands at constant temperature, its volume increases. (e) The volume of a sample of gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to its temperature—the higher its temperature, the greater its volume. (f) A hot-air balloon rises because hot air is less dense than cooler air. (g) For a gas sample in a container of fixed volume, an increase in temperature results in an increase in pressure. (h) For a gas sample in a container of fixed volume, is a constant. (i) When steam at 100°C in an autoclave is heated to 1200C, the pressure within the autoclave increases. (j) When a gas sample in a flexible container at constant pressure at 25°C is heated to 50°C, its volume doubles. (k) Lowering the diaphragm causes the chest cavity to increase in volume and the pressure of air in the lungs to decrease. (l) Raising the diaphragm decreases the volume of the chest cavity and forces air out of the lungs.arrow_forward
- 5-111 Diving, particularly SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) diving, subjects the body to increased pressure. Each 10. m (approximately 33 ft) of water exerts an additional pressure of 1 atm on the body. (a) What is the pressure on the body at a depth of 100. ft? (b) The partial pressure of nitrogen gas in air at 1 atm is 593 mm Hg. Assuming a SCUBA diver breathes compressed air, what is the partial pressure of nitrogen entering the lungs from a breathing tank at a depth of 100. ft? (c) The partial pressure of oxygen gas in the air at 2 atm is 158 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the air in the lungs at a depth of 100. ft? (d) Why is it absolutely essential to exhale vigorously in a rapid ascent from a depth of 100. ft?arrow_forward5-35 A 26.4-mL sample of ethylene gas, C2H4, has a pressure of 2.50 atm at 2.5°C. If the volume is increased to 36.2 mL and the temperature is raised to 10°C, what is the new pressure?arrow_forwardA balloon containing 5.0 dm3 of gas at 14C and 100.0 kPa rises to an altitude of 2000. m, where the temperature is 20C. The pressure of gas in the balloon is now 79.0 kPa. What is the volume of gas in the balloon?arrow_forward
