Q: A sample of gas occupies 5.0 L at 2.0 atm. What will its volume be at 1.0 atm (constant T)?

$V_2 = \frac{P_1 V_1}{P_2} = \frac{2.0 \times 5.0}{1.0} = 10.0\ \text{L}$

Q: A 2.0 mol sample of gas at 300 K exerts a pressure of 4.82 atm. What is its volume? ($R = 0.0821$)

$V = \frac{nRT}{P} = \frac{2.0 \times 0.0821 \times 300}{4.82} = 10.2\ \text{L}$

Q: A compressed gas cylinder contains 5.0 L of gas at 400 K. What will the volume be at 200 K if pressure and moles remain constant?

$V_2 = V_1 \frac{T_2}{T_1} = 5.0 \times \frac{200}{400} = 2.5\ \text{L}$

Q: In a mixture with gases at 200, 400, and 600 kPa, total pressure is:

$200 + 400 + 600 = 1200\ \text{kPa}$

Q: If 5.0 L of gas at 1.0 atm expands to 15.0 L, the new pressure is:

$P_2 = \frac{P_1 V_1}{V_2} = \frac{1.0 \times 5.0}{15.0} = 0.33\ \text{atm}$
