It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled "Combined Gas Law Problems," with four problems involving gas laws. The solutions are already written in red, but the text is blurry and hard to read. I’ll help you solve each problem step-by-step using the
Combined Gas Law, which is:
$$
\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}
$$
Where:
- $P$ = pressure
- $V$ = volume
- $T$ = temperature (in Kelvin)
- Subscripts 1 and 2 refer to initial and final states.
Let’s go through each problem clearly and explain the solution.

Problem 1:
> A gas has a volume of 750 mL at 30°C and a pressure of 760 mm Hg. What will be its volume at 45°C if the pressure remains constant?
Given:
- $V_1 = 750$ mL
- $T_1 = 30^\circ C = 30 + 273 = 303$ K
- $T_2 = 45^\circ C = 45 + 273 = 318$ K
- Pressure is constant → Use
Charles's Law: $\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}$
Solve for $V_2$:
$$
V_2 = V_1 \times \frac{T_2}{T_1} = 750 \times \frac{318}{303} \approx 750 \times 1.0495 \approx 787.1 \text{ mL}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{787 \text{ mL}} $

Problem 2:
> If 250 mL of oxygen at 750 mm Hg and 25°C is compressed to 200 mL at constant temperature, what is the new pressure?
Given:
- $V_1 = 250$ mL
- $P_1 = 750$ mm Hg
- $V_2 = 200$ mL
- $T$ constant → Use
Boyle’s Law: $P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2$
Solve for $P_2$:
$$
P_2 = \frac{P_1 V_1}{V_2} = \frac{750 \times 250}{200} = \frac{187500}{200} = 937.5 \text{ mm Hg}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{938 \text{ mm Hg}} $ (rounded)

Problem 3:
> A gas is heated from 25°C to 100°C, and its volume increases from 100 mL to 125 mL. If the original pressure was 1 atm, what is the final pressure?
Given:
- $T_1 = 25^\circ C = 298$ K
- $T_2 = 100^\circ C = 373$ K
- $V_1 = 100$ mL
- $V_2 = 125$ mL
- $P_1 = 1$ atm
Use
Combined Gas Law:
$$
\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}
\Rightarrow P_2 = P_1 \times \frac{V_1}{V_2} \times \frac{T_2}{T_1}
$$
$$
P_2 = 1 \times \frac{100}{125} \times \frac{373}{298} = 0.8 \times 1.2517 \approx 1.001 \text{ atm}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{1.00 \text{ atm}} $ (approximately)

Problem 4:
> The pressure of a gas is increased from 100 kPa to 200 kPa, and the volume decreases from 2.0 L to 1.0 L. If the original temperature was 300 K, what is the final temperature?
Given:
- $P_1 = 100$ kPa
- $P_2 = 200$ kPa
- $V_1 = 2.0$ L
- $V_2 = 1.0$ L
- $T_1 = 300$ K
Use Combined Gas Law:
$$
\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}
\Rightarrow T_2 = T_1 \times \frac{P_2 V_2}{P_1 V_1}
$$
$$
T_2 = 300 \times \frac{200 \times 1.0}{100 \times 2.0} = 300 \times \frac{200}{200} = 300 \times 1 = 300 \text{ K}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{300 \text{ K}} $
