Chapter 16, Problem 2OQ

A cylinder with a piston holds 0.50 m3 of oxygen at an absolute pressure of 4.0 atm. The piston is pulled outward, increasing the volume of the gas until the pressure drops to 1.0 atm. If the temperature stays constant, what new volume does the gas occupy? (a) 1.0 m3 (b) 1.5 m3 (c) 2.0 m3 (d) 0.12 m3 (e) 2.5 m3

A cylindrical tank has a tight-fitting piston that allows the volume of the gas to be changed. The tank contains 0.110 m3 of air at a pressure of 0.355 atm. The piston is slowly pulled out until the volume of the gas is increased to 0.390 m3. If the temperature remains constant, what is the final value of the pressure?
A container holds 0.410 m3 of oxygen at an absolute pressure of 4.20 atm. A valve is opened, allowing the gas to drive a piston, increasing the volume of the gas until the pressure drops to 1.10 atm. If the temperature remains constant, what new volume (in m3) does the gas occupy?
A container holds 0.479 m3 of oxygen at an absolute pressure of 4.69 atm and a temperature of 379 K. A valve is opened, allowing the gas to drive a piston, increasing the volume of the gas until the pressure drops to 1.49 atm. If the temperature remains constant, what new volume does the gas occupy?
