Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Partial Pressure Ratio of Nitrogen to Oxygen : The partial pressure of a gas is calculated using its mole fraction.

The mole fraction is the ratio of the number of moles of the gas to the total number of moles of all gases.

For nitrogen (N2 \text{N}_2 ), the mole fraction nN2nN2+nO2+nAr\dfrac{n_{\text{N}_2}}{n_{\text{N}_2} + n_{\text{O}_2} + n_{\text{Ar}}} can be simplified as 70/2870/28+27/32+3/40\dfrac{70/28}{70/28 + 27/32 + 3/40}.

For oxygen (O2 \text{O}_2 ), the mole fraction is 27/3270/28+27/32+3/40\dfrac{27/32}{70/28 + 27/32 + 3/40}.

Therefore, the ratio of the partial pressure of nitrogen to oxygen is :

PN2PO2=mole fraction of N2mole fraction of O2=70/2827/32=2.96\frac{P_{\text{N}_2}}{P_{\text{O}_2}} = \frac{\text{mole fraction of } \text{N}_2}{\text{mole fraction of } \text{O}_2} = \frac{70/28}{27/32} = 2.96

Partial Pressure Ratio of Oxygen to Argon : For argon (Ar \text{Ar} ), the mole fraction is 3/4070/28+27/32+3/40\dfrac{3/40}{70/28 + 27/32 + 3/40}.

The ratio of the partial pressure of oxygen to argon is :

PO2PAr=mole fraction of O2mole fraction of Ar=27/323/40=11.25\frac{P_{\text{O}_2}}{P_{\text{Ar}}} = \frac{\text{mole fraction of } \text{O}_2}{\text{mole fraction of } \text{Ar}} = \frac{27/32}{3/40} = 11.25
Q54
Initially, the root mean square (rms) velocity of N2 molecules at certain temperature is uu. If this temperature is doubled and all the nitrogen molecules dissociate into nitrogen atoms, then the new rms velocity will be :
A u/2
B 2u
C 4u
D 14u
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Root mean square (rms) velocity of N2 molecule (u) =

3RTM\sqrt {{{3RT} \over M}}

. For N2 molecule, molecular mass, M = 28. Therefore,

u=3RT28u = \sqrt {{{3RT} \over {28}}}

.....

(1) When the temperature becomes doubled, that is, 2T.

Let the new root mean square (rms) velocity of N-atom be u'.

For N-atom, the molecular mass, M = 14.

Therefore,

u=3RT14u' = \sqrt {{{3RT} \over {14}}}

....... (2) On dividing Eq. (1) by Eq. (2), we get

uu=14{u \over {u'}} = \sqrt {{1 \over 4}}
=12u=2u= {1 \over 2} \Rightarrow u' = 2u
Q55
'a’ and `b’ are van der Waals’ constants for gases. Chlorine is more easily liquefied than ethane because
A a and b for Cl2 < a and b for C2H6
B a and b for Cl2 > a and b for C2H6
C a for Cl2 > a for C2H6 and b Cl2 < b for C2H6
D a for Cl2 < a for C2H6 and b Cl2 > b for C2H6
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

The value of

aa

is a measure of the magnitude of the attractive forces between the molecules of the gas. Greater the value of

a,'a',

larger is the attractive inter-molecular force between the gas molecules. The value of

bb

related to the effective size of the gas molecules. It is also termed as excluded volume. The gases with higher value of

aa

and lower value of

bb

are more liquefiable, hence for

Cl2C{{\rm l}_2}
a''a'''

should be greater than for

C2H6{C_2}{H_6}

but for it

bb

should be less than for

C2H6.{C_2}{H_6}.
Q56

A 2/3
B 1/2
C 1/3 ×\times 273/298
D 1/3
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Let the mass of methane and oxygen

=m=m
gm.gm.

Mole fraction of

O2{O_2}
=MolesofO2MolesofO2+MolesofCH4= {{Moles\,\,of\,\,{O_2}} \over {Moles\,\,of\,\,{O_2}\, + \,Moles\,\,of\,\,C{H_4}}}
=m/32m/32+m/16= {{m/32} \over {m/32 + m/16}}
=m/323m/32=13= {{m/32} \over {3m/32}} = {1 \over 3}

Partial pressure of

PO2=P×13=13P{P_{{O_2}}} = P \times {1 \over 3} = {1 \over 3}P
Q57
0.5 moles of gas A and x moles of gas B exert a pressure of 200 Pa in a container of volume 10 m3 at 1000 K. Given R is the gas constant in JK-1mol-1, x is :
A 2R4+R{{2R} \over {4 + R}}
B 2R4R{{2R} \over {4 - R}}
C 4+R2R{{4 + R} \over {2R}}
D 4R2R{{4 - R} \over {2R}}
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

We know, PV = nRT Given, P = 200 Pa V = 10 m3 T = 1000 K n = 0.5 + x \therefore 200 ×\times 10 = (0.5 + x) R ×\times 1000 \Rightarrow 0.5 + x =

2R{2 \over R}

\Rightarrow x =

2R12{2 \over R} - {1 \over 2}

\Rightarrow x =

4R2R{{4 - R} \over {2R}}
Q58
At very high pressures, the compressibility factor of one mole of a gas is given by :
A pbRT{{pb} \over {RT}}
B 1 + pbRT{{pb} \over {RT}}
C 1 - pbRT{{pb} \over {RT}}
D 1 - b(VRT){b \over {\left( {VRT} \right)}}
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

According to van der Waals' equation, for one mole of a gas

(p+aV2)(Vb)=RT\left( {p + {a \over {{V^2}}}} \right)(V - b) = RT

...... (1) At high pressure,

aV2{a \over {{V^2}}}

can be neglected So,

p+aV2pp + {a \over {{V^2}}} \approx p

...... (2) From Eqs. (1) and (2), we get

p(Vb)=RTp(V - b) = RT
pVpb=RTpV - pb = RT
pV=RT+pbpV = RT + pb

Dividing both the sides by RT, we get

pVRT=1+pbRT{{pV} \over {RT}} = 1 + {{pb} \over {RT}}
Z=1+pbRTZ = 1 + {{pb} \over {RT}}
Q59
If Z is a compressibility factor, van der Waals equation at low pressure can be written as:
A Z = 1 + RTPbRT \over Pb
B Z = 1 - aVRTa \over VRT
C Z = 1 - PbRTPb \over RT
D Z = 1 + PbRTPb \over RT
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Compressibility factor

(Z)=PVRT\left( Z \right) = {{PV} \over {RT}}

(For one mole of real gas) van der Waals equation

(P+aV2)(Vb)=RT\left( {P + {a \over {{V^2}}}} \right)\left( {V - b} \right) = RT

At low pressure, volume is very large and hence correction term

bb

can be neglected in comparison to very large volume of

V.V.

i.e.

VbV\,\,\,V - b \approx V
(P+aV2)V=RT;\left( {P + {a \over {{V^2}}}} \right)V = RT;
PV+aV=RTPV + {a \over V} = RT
PV=RTaV;PV = RT - {a \over V};
PVRT=1aVRT{{PV} \over {RT}} = 1 - {a \over {VRT}}

Hence,

z=1aVRT\,\,\,z = 1 - {a \over {VRT}}
Q60
An evacuated glass vessel weighs 40.0 g when empty, 135.0 g when filled with a liquid of density 0.95 g mL-1 and 40.5 g when filled with an ideal gas at 0.82 atm at 250 K. The molar mass of the gas in g mol-1 is : (Given : R = 0.082 L atm K-1 mol-1)
A 35
B 50
C 75
D 125
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Weight of empty glass vessel = 40 gm Weight of glass vessel filled with liquid = 135 gm \therefore Weight of liquid = 135 - 40 = 95 gm Given density of liquid = 0.95 gm ml-1 \therefore Volume of liquid

=950.95=100={{95} \over {0.95}} = 100

ml Weight of glass filled with ideal gas = 40.5 gm \therefore Weight of gas = 40.5 - 40 = 0.5 g Let the Molar mass = M \therefore Moles of gas

=0.5M= {{0.5} \over M}

\therefore Now applying ideal gas equation, pV = nRT

0.82×1001000=0.5M×0.082×250\Rightarrow 0.82 \times {{100} \over {1000}} = {{0.5} \over M} \times 0.082 \times 250

\Rightarrow M = 0.5 ×\times 250 = 125 g/mol
