Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculation problems.
1. Charles' Law states that for a fixed amount of gas at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to its:
Celsius temperature
Kelvin temperature
pressure
density
2. If the temperature of a gas increases, and the pressure remains constant, what happens to the volume of the gas?
It decreases
It increases
It remains constant
It first increases then decreases
3. According to Charles' Law, the formula representing the relationship between the initial and final states of a gas is V1/T1 = .
4. Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which a gas would have volume.
5. A gas occupies a volume of 2.5 L at 27 °C. If the temperature is increased to 227 °C while keeping the pressure constant, what will be the new volume of the gas? (Remember to convert temperatures to Kelvin)
6. Explain, in terms of kinetic molecular theory, why the volume of a gas increases when its temperature increases at constant pressure.
7. Charles' Law is applicable when the pressure and the amount of gas are kept constant.
True
False
8. If you double the Celsius temperature of a gas, you will double its volume according to Charles' Law.
True
False
9. A balloon has a volume of 750 mL at 20 °C. If the balloon is placed in a freezer and its temperature drops to -10 °C, what will be its new volume? Assume the pressure remains constant.
