Gas Laws Worksheet

Boyle’s Law, Charles’s Law, and Gay-Lussac’s Law

Use the appropriate gas law to solve the following problems. Show all work and include units in
your answers. REMEMBER temperature must be in Kelvin before doing the calculation!

1. A gas occupies 3.5 L at a pressure of 1.2 atm. What volume will it occupy if the pressure
is increased to 2.4 atm at constant temperature?
