Q: A balloon filled with helium gas at 20°C occupies 32.0 L. What is the volume of the balloon if it is placed in liquid nitrogen at -196°C, assuming pressure is constant?

$V_2 = V_1 \times \frac{T_2}{T_1} = 32.0 \times \frac{77}{293} = 8.4\ \mathrm{L}$

Q: A sample of gas occupies 22.4 L at STP and 9.85 L at 100°C and 1.00 atm. How many moles of gas did the sample originally contain?

$n = \frac{PV}{RT} = \frac{(1.00)(9.85)}{0.0821 \times 373} = 0.32\ \mathrm{mol}$

Q: Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating the percent yield of a reaction?
