The relationship between the temperature and volume of a gas, which is known as Charles' law, provides an explanation of how hot-air balloons work.

Consider the reaction, 2X(g) + 3Y(g) → Z(g)
Where gases X and Y are insoluble and inert to water and Z form a basic solution. In an experiment 3 mole each of X and Y are allowed to react in 15 lit flask at 500 K. When the reaction is complete, 5L of water is added to the flask and temperature is reduced to 300 K. The pressure in the flask is (neglect aqueous tension)
  • a)
    1.64 atm                     
  • b)
    2.46 atm              
  • c)
     4.92 atm
  • d)
     3.28 atm
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Mira Joshi answered
The reaction is 
2X(g) + 3Y(g) → Z(g)
2 moles of X reacts with 3 moles of Y to form 1mole of Z.
Now 3 moles of X and 3 moles of Y are present in the flask. Y is the limiting reagent. (Tocheck LR, divide the no of moles by stoichiometric coff. of that element. The least value will be LR)
After reaction, 1 mole of X is remaining and 1 mole of Z is formed, X is insoluble in water whereas Z is soluble in water.
Thus, the pressure in the flask is due to 1 mole of X.
The total volume of the flask is 15 L. The volume of water is 5 L. Thus the volume of gas is 15-5 = 10L.
The ideal gas equation is pV = nRT
Hence ,
p = nRT/V = 1×0.0821×300/10
= 2.46 atm 

Compressibility factor for CO2 at 400 K and 71.0 bar is 0.8697. Molar volume of CO2 under these conditions is
  • a)
    22.4 L
  • b)
    2.24 L
  • c)
    0.41 L
  • d)
    19.5 L
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Lohit Matani answered
We know that 
Z = pVobserved /RT
0.8697   =   71×0.987×Vobserved / 0.0821×400
Vobserved = 0.8697×0.0821×400/71×0.987
= 0.406 L or 0.41 L

The slope of plot between pV and p at constant temperature is:

    2
  • c)
    1/2
  • d)
    Zero
Correct answer is 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Shreya Gupta answered
Slope of the plot between P and PV at constant temperature is zero. A plot of P v/s PV at constant temperature for a fixed mass of gas is a straight line parallel to the pressure axis. 

A capillary tube of uniform diameter contains gas samples A and B, separated by a short column of Hg, L mm in length. The ends are sealed.

Then P is equal to
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
By ideal gas law: PV=nRT
For a particular gas since n and T are constant.  ⇒PV=Constant
⇒  For gas A
Pa=PAa′..............(i) (Here length (a) is directly proportional to volume. Hence it can be used in place of volume.)
⇒ For gas B
Pb=PBb′.......(ii)
Since gas B is supporting l length of mercury over it in addition to gas A
⇒PB=PA+ρgl..........(iii) ( ρ is the density of mercury)
Putting (iii) in (ii)
⇒Pb=(PA+ρgl)b′............(iv) 
Eliminating  PA
 from (i) and (iv)
⇒Pb=Pa/a′b′+ρglb′⇒Pba′−ab′)/a’=ρglb′
⇒P=ρgla′b′/ba’-ab’(in SI units) 
⇒P in mm of Hg =dP(in SI)/ρg
P(mmHg)=la′b′/ba′-ab′ = l/(b/b′) - (a/a′)
Thus (a) is the correct option

Volume of an ideal gas is to be decreased by 10% by increase of pressure by x% under isothermal condition. Thus, x is
  • a)
    100/9
  • b)
    9/100
  • c)
    10
  • d)
    1/10
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Sharma answered
Applying Boyle 's law P1V1=P2V2 as temp is constant.
So let initial pressure =P initial volume =V 
Now final volume V2=V-10%of V =9V/10
PV=P2×9V/10 so P2=10P/9
Therefore increment in Pressure=P/9P×100%=100/9

Mass of gas is 300 gm and its specific heat at constant volume is 750J/kg K. if gas is heated through 75°C at constant pressure of 105 N/m2, it expands by volume 0.08 × 106 cm3. find CP/CV.
  • a)
    1.4
  • b)
     1.374
  • c)
     1.474
  • d)
    1.5
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
Data given;
ΔT = 75 oC = 75 K
ΔV = 0.08 * 106 cm3 = 0.08 m3
Cv  = 750 J kg-1 K-1
m = 300 g = 0.300 kg
p  = 105 N m-2 = 100000 N m-2
The first law of thermodynamics;
   ΔU = Q – W
      Q = ΔU + W    ---- (1) 
   mCpΔT = mCvΔT + pΔV   ----- (2)
Dividing the above expression (2) with Cv , we get;
Cp / Cv = Cv / Cv + pΔV / mΔTCv
     Cp / Cv = 1 + pΔV / mΔTCv
     Cp / Cv = 1 + ([100000 N m-2 . 0.08 m3] /                 [0.300 kg . 75 K .750 J kg-1K-1])
      Cp / Cv = 1 + 0.474
      Cp / Cv = 1.474 ; After rounding it off we get,
               = 1.5 (appx)

The value of universal gas constant R depends on:
  • a)
    Number of moles of gas
  • b)
    Units of volume and pressure
  • c)
    Volume of gas
  • d)
    Temperature of gas
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Mehta answered
We have
R = PV/T
= 8.314JK^−1mol^−1
= 8.314x10^7ergK^−1mol^−1
= 2calK^−1mol^−1
= 0.0821litreatmK^−1mol^−1
Hence R depends on units of volume and pressure
Hence answer is (b)

Root mean square velocity (u) is dependent on temperature. Value of  is
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
The correct answer is option B
Root mean square is v=under root 3RT/M
so we simply do differentiation with respect to temperature DU/DT=D /DT 
So,
=  3R/2M

    34893 K
  • c)
    31200 K
  • d)
    32723 K
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Khanna answered
Bond energy is the energy to break bonds and convert the sample into atoms.
We know that, 
K.E of a mol of gas molecule = 3/2 RT
A/Q 3/2 RT = 104 kcal mol-1
3/2×8.314×T = 104×103 x 4.18 J
T = 34893 K

Density of an ideal gas at 298 K and 1.0 atm is found to be 1.25 kg m-3. Density of the gas at 1.5 atm and at 298 K is 
  • a)
    1.25 kg m-3
  • b)
    1.875 kg m-3
  • c)
    1.00 kg m-3
  • d)
    1.20 kg m-3
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Lavanya Menon answered
We know ideal gas equation,
PV=nRT.
n= m(mass)/M(molecular weight).
PV=m/M RT.
PM=m/v RT.
density (d)=m(mass)/v (volume).
PM=dRT.
d=PM/RT.
here, density is directly proportional to pressure and inversely proportional to temperature...
d1/d2=P1 T2 / P2 T1.
1.25/d2= 1×298/1.5×298.
1.25/d2=1/1.5.
d2= 1.25×1.5.
d2=1.875

The temperature in Celsius scale can be converted into Kelvin scale
  • a)
    By dividing it with 273
  • b)
    By subtracting 273.15 from it
  • c)
    By multiplying it with 273
  • d)
    By adding 273.15 to it
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
To convert from Celsius to Kelvin you use the following formula:
Celsius temperature + 273.15 = Kelvin Temperature
For example:
26 °Celsius + 273.15 = 299.15 Kelvin
The Kelvin temperature scale was designed so that it starts at absolute zero. In Kelvin, absolute zero is equal to 0 degrees. In Celsius, absolute zero is equal to −273.15 degrees.
Therefore, you need to add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature to get to the Kelvin temperature.
Note: Kelvin does not use the degree symbol, °.

At 298 K, which of the following gases has the lowest average molecular speed?
  • a)
    CO2 at 0.20 atm
  • b)
    He at 0.40 atm
  • c)
    CH4 at 0.80 atm
  • d)
    NO at 1.00 atm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Iyer answered
Under the same conditions the average kinetic energy of the gases should be equal.
speed of gas1/speed of gas 2 = square root of (molar mass of gas2/molar mass of gas 1)
So gases with small molar mass will move quicker
eg speed of N2/speed of CO2 = sq. rt (44/28) = 1.25
speed of N2/speed of F2 = sq rt. (38/28) = 1.16
So order is N2, F2 and CO2
then we concluded right ans. is (A)

Mathematical expression that describes Boyle's law is
  • a)
    PV = constant
  • b)
    V * constant = P
  • c)
    P * constant = V
  • d)
    V ⁄ P = constant
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

BOYLE'S LAW
At a constant temperature,volume of a definite mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. hence, if P is the pressure and V is the volume, then P x V is a constant.

At what temperature (in °C) root mean square velocity of O2 gas at 300 K is equal to most probable velocity of Ne(20 g mol-1)?
    Correct answer is '8'. Can you explain this answer?

    Preeti Khanna answered
    Vrms = √(3RT/M)
    Vmp 0= √(2RT/M)
    Putting corresponding values,
    3×300/32 = 2×T/20
    On solving, we get T = 281.5K
    T in °C = 281.5-273 = 8.1 °C = 8

    At what temperature will the hydrogen molecules have the same kinetic energy per mole as nitrogen molecules at 280 K?
    • a)
      280 K
    • b)
      40 K
    • c)
      400 K
    • d)
      50 K
    Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

    Ankita Menon answered
    Explanation:

    • We know that the kinetic energy of a gas molecule is given by the formula:


    K.E. = (3/2) kT


    • Here, k is the Boltzmann constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin and (3/2) is the degree of freedom of a gas molecule.

    • For diatomic molecules like hydrogen and nitrogen, the degree of freedom is 5 (3 translational and 2 rotational).

    • Now, we need to find the temperature at which hydrogen molecules have the same kinetic energy per mole as nitrogen molecules at 280 K.

    • Let us assume that the kinetic energy per mole of nitrogen molecules at 280 K is K.


    K = (3/2) kTN


    • Similarly, the kinetic energy per mole of hydrogen molecules at the same temperature is:


    (3/2) kTH


    • Now, we need to find the temperature at which both these kinetic energies are equal:


    (3/2) kTN = (3/2) kTH

    TH = TN


    • So, the temperature at which hydrogen molecules have the same kinetic energy per mole as nitrogen molecules at 280 K is 280 K.


    Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

    See the figure :
    The valves of X and Y opened simultaneously. The white fumes of NH4Cl will first form at :
    • a)
      A
    • b)
      B
    • c)
      C
    • d)
      A,B and C simultaneously
    Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

    Pooja Shah answered
    According to Graham law of diffusion, rate is inversely proportional to root of molar mass. 
    Molar massNH3 =17 and Molar massHCl =36.5. 
    Molar Mass of HCl is more than NH3,  so it rate /speed is less. 
    So NH4Cl is formed at C because HCl cover less distance and NH3 travel faster and reach at C.

    Normal boiling point is
    • a)
      The boiling point at 1 bar pressure.
    • b)
      The boiling point at 1 atm pressure.
    • c)
      The boiling point at 2 bar pressure.
    • d)
      The temperature at which a liquid converts to gas.
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Hansa Sharma answered
    The boiling point of a liquid at 1 atm is also known as the normal boiling point. It has been found that Helium has the lowest normal boiling point (−268.9 °C) because it has very weak intermolecular attractions. Liquids that have high vapour pressures and low boiling points are known to be volatile, which means they evaporate quickly at room temperature. When the temperature increases, molecules start entering the gaseous state, consequently increasing the vapor pressure of the liquid until it comes into equilibrium with the atmospheric pressure.

    The critical volume of a gas is 0.072 lit. mo1-1. The radius of the molecule will be, in cm
    • a)
    • b)
    • c)
    • d)
    Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

    Pooja Shah answered
    The critical volume of three times the Van der Waals constant 'b'.
    b=16/3πr3NA;Vc=3b=0.072 lit. mol−1
    The expression for the magnitude of the Van der Waals constant, b, for the gas is b=16/3πr3NA
    ​Thus 3b=16/3πr3NA×3
    Substitute values in the above expression,
    0.072×1000=16/3×6.023×1023×π×r3×3
    Thus r=(3/4π×10−23)1/3cm.

      1 : 1
    • c)
      4 : 7
    • d)
      2 : 3
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Vijay Bansal answered
    We know, Partial pressure of a gas = mole fraction of that gas x Total pressure of mixture of the gases.

    Using this formula and using the information given in this question, we get 
    ratio of partial pressures of methane to nitrogen in the mixture as: 1:1
