Supplemental Problems
For a constant temperature and quantity of gas, the product of
the volume and pressure is constant
2211 VPVP
Combining the two gives the Ideal Gas Law
nRTPV n is the quantity of gas (moles or
number of molecules) and R is the Universal Gas Constant whose value
depends on the units used in the other quantities
(8.31 J/(mole-K), 0.0821 L-atm/(mole-K)
ExampleA cylinder contains 20L of oxygen at 20°C and 15atm. The temperature is raised to 35°C and the volume is reduced to 8.5L. What is the final pressure of the gas?
Example Solution 1The first thing to do is some algebra: put the Gas Law into a ratio form with the constant on one side and everything else on the other side

Example Solution 2Cancel anything that stays the same and then solve for what you are wanting to find. In this case, only the amount of gas (n) stays the same.

The temperature must be in Kelvin so add 273° to the temperatures
Example for you•The best laboratory vacuum is about 1.00x10-18 atm. How many gas molecules are there per cubic centimeter at 293K?
1 mole = 6.022 x 1023 molecules
Example SolutionSince we want the number of atoms in a cubic centimeter, the volume is 1.00 cm3 = 1.00 mL.Use R = 0.0821(L-atm)/(mole-Kelvin)

Since you can’t have a fraction of an atom, truncate to 25 atoms per cubic centimeter.
How much does air weigh?
The pressure of any fluid is related to the density of the fluid, the height of the column and the acceleration due to gravity
Pressure equals density times gravity times height
ghP is the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the column of fluid above.If the density isn’t constant such as in an atmosphere, then the pressure becomes an integral

Example for you•A scuba diver dives to a depth of 50 m in water with a density of 1000 kg/m3. What pressure does he experience in Pa?•Same problem except the diver is in a water tank on Mars. gMars = 3.69 m/s2
Example SolutionThe density of water is 1000 kg/m3 on Earth and Mars. If we find the gauge pressure (the pressure above atmospheric pressure) the only difference between Earth and Mars will be the acceleration due to gravity (“g”). On Mars g = 0.377gEarth so the pressure on Mars will be 37.7% that on Earth
