6. Which of the following samples is highly compressible at high pressure and expandable at high
temperature?
a. oxygen gas b. aluminum sheet c. water d. ice
7. Records show that the incident of tire explosion is high during summer season. Which of the following
gives the best explanation for this observation?
a. there are more travellers during summer vacation
b. high temperature during summer season causes the air inside the tire to expand
c. vehicles tires are not well maintained
d. there is too much air inside the tires
8. Which is most likely to happen when a closed vessel filled with gas is shaken for 2 minutes?
a. the temperature inside the vessel increases
b. the pressure inside the vessel increase
c. the temperature and pressure inside the vessel increase
d. both the temperature and pressure inside the vessel increase
9. Determine what will happen to the temperature of a confined gas as the pressure decreases.
a. the gas temperature stays the same c. the gas temperature increases
b. the gas temperature decreases d. there is no enough data
10. Gab wants to have a portable oxygen tank. A 5.00 liter oxygen gas exerts a pressure of 1.00
atmosphere. How much pressure is needed for this gas to be compressed in a 2.00 liter cylinder,
provided there is no temperature change?
a. 3.0 atm b. 2.5 atm c. 2.0 atm d. 1.5 atm
11. The temperature of nitrogen gas contained in a not rigid vessel is reduced from 100C to 5.0C? Which
of the following describes the resulting behavior of nitrogen gas molecules?
I. The average kinetic energy suddenly increases, thus the pressure increases
II. The average kinetic energy suddenly decreases, thus the pressure decreases
III. The volume occupied by the gas molecules suddenly increases, thus the container expand
IV. The volume occupied by the gas molecules suddenly decreases, thus the container shrink
a. I & III b. II & IV c. I & IV d. II & II
12. A balloon with a volume of 200 mL at 30C is submerged in hot water to obtain a temperature of 50C.
Find out what will happen to the volume of the balloon, provided the pressure remains the same.
a. the volume of the balloon will become higher than 200 mL c. the volume of the balloon will
stay the same
b. the volume of the balloon will become lower than 200 mL d. there is no enough data
13. A 2.0 g (approximately 0.045 mole) sample of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is placed in an evacuated
3.5 L vessel at 30C. Compute for the pressure inside the vessel after all the dry ice has been converted
to carbon dioxide gas. (R=0.0821 L. atm/mol.K)
a. 0.32 atm b. 0.45 atm c. 0.67 atm d. 1.0 atm
14. What is the explanation to your answer in item number 13?
a. the gaseous form of dry ice will either have high or low pressure
b. the gaseous form of dry ice will have the same pressure because its composition remains the same
c. the gaseous form of dry ice exerts the same pressure with its environment because it adopts the
atmospheric pressure
d. the gaseous form of dry ice exerts lower pressure due to the bigger volume that results to lesser
collisions of the gas particles.
15. What do you expect to happen to the volume of a gas if its pressure is doubled and its temperature is
reduced to half?
a. its volume is increased c. its volume remains unchanged
b. its volume is doubled d. its volume is decreased
