Q41
A mixture of one mole each of H2 , He and O2 each are enclosed in a cylinder of volume V at temperature T. If the partial pressure of H2 is 2 atm, the total pressure of the gases in the cylinder is :
A 14 atm
B 38 atm
C 6 atm
D 22 atm
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

According to Dalton’s law of partial pressure, pi = xi × PT pi = partial pressure of the ith component xi = mole fraction of the ith component pT = total pressure of mixture \Rightarrow 2 atm =

(nH2nH2+nHe+nO2)\left( {{{{n_{{H_2}}}} \over {{n_{{H_2}}} + {n_{He}} + {n_{{O_2}}}}}} \right)

×\times pT \Rightarrow pT =

(1+1+11)\left( {{{1 + 1 + 1} \over 1}} \right)

×\times 2 = 6 atm

Q42
For gaseous state, if most probable speed is denoted by C*, average speed by C__\mathop C\limits^{\_\_} and mean square speed by C, then for a large number of molecules the ratios of these speeds are:
A C*: C__\mathop C\limits^{\_\_} : C = 1.128 : 1.225 : 1
B C*: C__\mathop C\limits^{\_\_} : C = 1.225 : 1.128 : 1
C C*: C__\mathop C\limits^{\_\_} : C = 1 : 1.225 : 1.128
D C*: C__\mathop C\limits^{\_\_} : C = 1 : 1.128 : 1.225
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Most probable speed

(C)=2RTM\left( {{C^ * }} \right) = \sqrt {{{2RT} \over M}}

Average Speed

(C)=8RTπM\left( {\overline C } \right) = \sqrt {{{8RT} \over {\pi M}}}

Root mean square velocity

(c)=3RTM\left( c \right) = \sqrt {{{3RT} \over M}}
C:C:C=2RTM:8RTπM:3RTM{C^ * }:\overline C :C = \sqrt {{{2RT} \over M}} :\sqrt {{{8RT} \over {\pi M}}} :\sqrt {{{3RT} \over M}}
=1:4π:32= 1:\sqrt {{4 \over \pi }} :\sqrt {{3 \over 2}}
=1:1.128:1.225= 1:1.128:1.225
Q43
The volume of gas A is twice than that of gas B. The compressibility factor of gas A is thrice than that of gas B at same temperature. The pressures of the gases for equal number of moles are -
A 2PA = 3PB
B 3PA = 2PB
C PA = 3PB
D PA = 2PB
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Z = PV/nRT \Rightarrow P =

ZnRTV{{ZnRT} \over V}

at constant T and mol(n), P \propto

ZV{Z \over V}

\Rightarrow

PAPB=ZAZA×VBVA{{{P_A}} \over {{P_B}}} = {{{Z_A}} \over {{Z_A}}} \times {{{V_B}} \over {{V_A}}}

=

(31)×(12)\left( {{3 \over 1}} \right) \times \left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)

=

32{3 \over 2}

\therefore 2PA = 3PB

Q44
As the temperature is raised from 20°C to 40°C, the average kinetic energy of neon atoms changes by a factor of which of the following?
A 1/2
B 2
C 313293313\over293
D 313293\sqrt{313\over293}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution
K.Eofneonat40CK.Eofneonat20C{{K.E\,\,of\,\,neon\,\,at\,\,{{40}^ \circ }C} \over {K.E\,\,of\,\,neon\,\,at\,\,{{20}^ \circ }C}}
=32K×31332K×293= {{{3 \over 2}K \times 313} \over {{3 \over 2}K \times 293}}
=313293= {{313} \over {293}}
Q45
An open vessel at 27oC is heated until two fifth of the air (assumed as an ideal gas) it has escaped from the vessel assuming that the volume of the vessel remains constant, the temperature at which the vessel has been heated is -
A 750 K
B 500oC
C 750oC
D 500 K
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

We know, PV = nRT As the vessel is open, so the pressure and volume is constant. \therefore n1 R T1 = n2 R T2 \Rightarrow n1 T1 = n2 T1

25{2 \over 5}

th of the air escape from the vessel. So the remaining air is

35{3 \over 5}

of the total air. \therefore n ×\times 300 =

35{3 \over 5}

n ×\times T2 \Rightarrow T2 = 500 K

Q46
If 10–4 dm3 of water is introduced into a 1.0 dm3 flask to 300 K, how many moles of water are in the vapour phase when equilibrium is established ? (Given : Vapour pressure of H2O at 300 K is 3170 Pa ; R = 8.314 J K–1 mol–1)
A 5.56 x 10–3 mol
B 1.53 x 10–2 mol
C 4.46 x 10–2 mol
D 1.27 x 10–3 mol
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

From the ideal gas equation :

PV=nRTPV = nRT\,\,

or

n=PVRT=3170×1038.314×300\,\,\,n = {{PV} \over {RT}} = {{3170 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}} \over {8.314 \times 300}}
=1.27×103= 1.27 \times {10^{ - 3}}
Q47
At a given temperature T, gases Ne, Ar, Xe and Kr are found to deviate from ideal gas behaviour. Their equation of state is given as p=RTVbp = {{RT} \over {V - b}} at T. Here, b is the van der Waals constant. Which gas will exhibit steepest increase in the plot of Z (compression factor) vs p?
A Xe
B Ne
C Ar
D Kr
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Given

p=RTVbp = {{RT} \over {V - b}}

\Rightarrow

p(Vb)=RTp\left( {V - b} \right) = RT

\Rightarrow

pVRT=pbRT+RTRT{{pV} \over {RT}} = {{pb} \over {RT}} + {{RT} \over {RT}}

\Rightarrow Z =

bRTp+1{b \over {RT}}p + 1

\therefore Slope of Z vs p curve (straight line) =

bRT{b \over {RT}}

\therefore Higher the value of b, more steep will be the curve. As we know, b = 4vNA =

4×43πr3×NA4 \times {4 \over 3}\pi {r^3} \times {N_A}

\therefore b \propto size of gas molecules Among Ne, Ar, Xe and Kr, size of Xe is the most as down the group in the periodic table size increases.

Q48
At 300 K, the density of a certain gaseous molecule at 2 bar is double to that of dinitrogen (N2 ) at 4 bar. The molar mass of gaseous molecule is :
A 28 g mol-1
B 56 g mol-1
C 112 g mol-1
D 224 g mol-1
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Density =

MassVolume{{Mass} \over {Volume}}

PV = RT \Rightarrow V =

RTP{{RT} \over P}

So, Density(d) =

MPRT{{MP} \over {RT}}

Now, d1 = x, P1 = 4, M1 = 28, d2 = 2x, P2 = 2, M2 = ? \therefore

d1d2=M1P1RT1×RT2M2P2=M1P1M2P2{{{d_1}} \over {{d_2}}} = {{{M_1}{P_1}} \over {R{T_1}}} \times {{R{T_2}} \over {{M_2}{P_2}}} = {{{M_1}{P_1}} \over {{M_2}{P_2}}}

[As T1 = T2 ] \Rightarrow M2 =

M1P1d2d1P2{{{M_1}{P_1}{d_2}} \over {{d_1}{P_2}}}

=

2x×28×42×x{{2x \times 28 \times 4} \over {2 \times x}}

= 112 g mol-1

Q49
Consider the van der Waals constants, a and b, for the following gases. .tg .tg Gas Ar Ne Kr Xe a/ (atm dm6 mol–2) 1.3 0.2 5.1 4.1 b/ (10–2 dm3 mol–1) 3.2 1.7 1.0 5.0 Which gas is expected to have the highest critical temperature?
A Ne
B Kr
C Xe
D Ar
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

We know, Critical temperature (Tc) =

8a27bR{{8a} \over {27bR}}

\therefore Tc \propto

ab{a \over b}

So, species with greatest value of

ab{a \over b}

has greatest value of critical temperature. Accordig to the given data Kr have highest

ab{a \over b}

ratio.

Q50
Which one of the following statements is NOT true about the effect of an increase in temperature on the distribution of molecular speeds in a gas?
A The most probable speed increases
B The fraction of the molecules with the most probable speed increases
C The distribution becomes broader
D The area under the distribution curve remains the same as under the lower temperature
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Distribution of molecular velocities at two different temperature is given shown below.

NOTE : At higher temperature more molecules have higher velocities and less molecules have lower velocities.

As evident from fig. thus it is clear that With the increase in temperature the most probable velocity increase but the fraction of such molecules decreases.
