Q: A sample of oxygen gas at 1.00 atm and 300 K occupies 10.0 L. If the pressure is increased to 2.00 atm at constant temperature, what will be the new volume?

$$V_2$$ = \frac{$$P_1$$ $$V_1$$}{$$P_2$$} = \frac{1.00 \times 10.0}{2.00} = 5.0\ \mathrm{L}$$

Q: At standard temperature and pressure (STP), what is the volume occupied by 2.00 mol of any ideal gas?

$$V = n \times 22.4\ \mathrm{L} = 2.00 \times 22.4 = 44.8\ \mathrm{L}$$

Q: A 1.00 mol sample of gas at 273 K and 1 atm is compressed to 0.50 atm at constant temperature. What is the new volume?

$$V_2$$ = \frac{$$P_1$$ $$V_1$$}{$$P_2$$} = \frac{1.00 \times 22.4}{0.50} = 44.8\ \mathrm{L}$$

Q: A gas sample has a volume of 5.00 L at 300 K. If the temperature is increased to 600 K at constant pressure, what is the new volume?

$$V_2$$ = $$V_1$$ \times \frac{$$T_2$$}{$$T_1$$} = 5.00 \times \frac{600}{300} = 10.0\ \mathrm{L}$$
