Important Questions on Standard or Normal Temperature and Pressure (STP or NTP)

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

A gas is allowed to expand at a constant temperature from an initial volume of 300 ml to a final volume of 1800 ml. At the end of the expansion the pressure of the gas was found to be 1 atm. What was the initial pressure of the gas?

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

The pressure on one mole of a gas at STP is doubled and the temperature is raised to 546 K. What is the final volume of the gas? (one mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22.4 litres at STP). Temperature in Kelvin is 273.15.

What is absolute scale of temperature? Write the value of Kelvin zero in centigrade. What is 'absolute zero'?

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

A certain volume of a gas is kept at 77oC. When the temperature is decreased by 20oC the gas occupies a volume of 900 ml. What was the initial volume of the gas (pressure constant)?

MEDIUM

The molecular theory accounts for the pressure exerted by a gas in a closed vessel as a result of the gas molecules striking against the walls of the vessel.

How will the pressure change if the volume is halved, keeping the temperature constant?

The molecular theory accounts for the pressure exerted by a gas in a closed vessel as a result of the gas molecules striking against the walls of the vessel.

How will the pressure change if the temperature is doubled keeping the volume constant?

MEDIUM

A fixed mass of gas has a volume of 750 c.c. at -23oC and 800 mm pressure. Calculate the pressure for which the volume will be 720 c.c. the temperature being -3oC.
