Solve the following problems using the standard problem solving procedures.  Solve the problems on a separate sheet of paper and place the answers on the original page in the margin.  Watch units, sig digs, and direction!

 

Example: The pressure exerted on Super Andersons head under normal conditions is 1.0 atm.  The volume of her head is 1.63 Liters.  If the pressure is changed to 100.0 atm what will Super Anderson head size be?

 

1.        If we__________________ the volume of a balloon we decrease the pressure the gas exerts.

 

2.      If we decrease the volume of a balloon we ______________ the pressure the gas exerts.

 

3.       These are both _______________ relationships.

 

4.      The Mahlum-in-ator’s first order of business was to escape from the clutches of the one known as Super Anderson.  Knowing that Super Anderson does not have any super powers of her own and must rely on clever weapons, country music and Smiley gas.  The EVIL ONE calls upon his super powers of atmospheric control and begins to increase the pressure in the room.  The original volume of the room was 152.0 L and the pressure was at 1.00 atm.  The Mahlum-in-ator increases the pressure to 64.32 atm.  What will happen to the smiley gas and what will its new volume be? 

 

5.      The Smiley gas begins to decrease in volume, the Mahlum-in-ator is able to think clearly, and resume his evil ways.  The Mahlum-in-ator quickly formulates an escape plan.  If the smiley gas can be decreased in size to fit into a two liter bottle he could use the bottle that is sitting in the corner to capture the gas. (Super Anderson always leaves stuff lying around, she never picks up after herself).  What is the final pressure needed to reduce all 152.0 L of Smiley gas so that it will fit into a 2.00 liter bottle. (regular atm is 1.00)

 

6.      Once the gas has been captured the Mahlum-in-ator realizes that if the contents of the gas were exposed to the music of GODSMACK!! Its molecular structure would change and it would become EVIL GAS OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.  Unfortunately, this change in molecular structure would also result in a sudden change in volume.  If the 2.00 liter bottle can handle a maximum volume change of .500 liters before exploding.  By how much will the pressure change inside the bottle?  (You will need to use your results from number five in this problem)

 

The bottle was cleverly placed by the door; speakers were fashioned using a few paperclips, tape, and an old straw hat.  The speakers were connected to the Mahlum-in-ator’s Walkman (I never leave home without it) and within seconds KABOOM!!! The exploding 2-liter bottle blasted the door open.  The Mahlum-in-ator was free to battle once again.

Solve the following problems using the standard problem solving procedures.  Solve the problems on a separate sheet of paper and place the answers on the original page in the margin.  Watch units, sig digs, and direction!

 

Example: Super Anderson is in a room at the following temperature 293.6 K.  The volume of her head is 1.63 L.  What will the size of her head be if the temperature is changed to 351 k?

 

  1. If we _______________ the volume of a balloon we decrease the temperature of the balloon.

 

  1. If we increase the volume of a balloon we ___________ the temperature of the balloon.

 

  1. These are both _____________relationships.

 

  1. Hearing the blast Super Anderson comes running in her pink jumpsuit, pink cape and pink fuzzy bunny slippers (what’s up with that).  Almost dying at the sight of the pink one the Mahlum-in-ator crumbles in terror as the pinkness fills the room.  Then, he hears the music of Godsmack in the background and begins to regain his strength to do battle.  The EVIL GAS OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION begins filling the room.  Calling once again upon his super powers of atmospheric control, the Mahlum-in-ator increases the temperature in the room from a mild 293.0 K to a steamy 372.6 K. The original volume of the EVIL GAS OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION was 152.0 L.  What will the new volume be at the new temperature and why did the Mahlum-in-ator increase temperature instead of decreasing the temperature?

 

  1. If the EVIL GAS OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION were taken from this setting (293.0 K and 152.0 L) and sent to the sun with a temperature of 5770 K. What will the volume be of the EVIL GAS OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION?

 

  1. As the EVIL GAS OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION surrounds Super Anderson the pink outfit begins to change to the color black.  She too begins to hear the music of Godsmack and begins to move her head as if she were head-banging to the beat.  This friction from the motion of her head begins to increase the temperature even more (from 372.6 K to 379.4 K)  By how much more with the volume change?
