Accepted Answer

$$1.0 \, 	ext{atm}$$

Question 2

Charles's Law

Question 3

A rigid container of gas is heated from $$300 \, 	ext{K} to$$ $$600 \, 	ext{K} at $$constant volume. What happens to the pressure?

Accepted Answer

It doubles

Question 4

Which equation represents the combined gas law?

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{P_1$ V_1$}{T_1$} = \frac{P_2$ V_2$}{T_2$}$$

Accepted Answer

Avogadro's Law

Question 12

A scuba tank contains $$12.0 \, 	ext{L} of $$air at $$200 \, 	ext{atm}. If $$the air is released into a balloon at $$1.0 \, 	ext{atm}$$, what is the final volume of the air? (Assume constant temperature.)

Accepted Answer

$$2400 \, 	ext{L}$$
