CLEP Chemistry Practice Test

Category - Chemistry

A sample of nitrogen (N2) gas in a10.0 L container has a pressure of 1.0 atm at 297 K. Assuming ideal gas behavior, what will the pressure be if the same amount of nitrogen gas is put into a 5.0 L container at 297 K?
  1. 0.40 atm
  2. 0.50 atm
  3. 2.0 atm
  4. 2.5 atm
Explanation
Answer: C - 2.0 atm.

Additional Answers

Aidan Moncelle says:

Boyle's law says that, at a constant temperature, the pressure of a sample of ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume. In other words, P1V1 = P2V2. Thus, P2 = P1V1/V2 = 2.0 atm.
