IXED GAS LAWS WORKSHEET

D irections: Examine each question and then write the gas law you plan to le to solve each question. Show
KE \ /
which values you have, which values are missing and/or which values need to be calculated. Be careful to use
standard units of volume (liters), temperature (Kelvins) & pressure (Atrn or mm of Hg).
