NCERT Solutions For Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 5 States Of Matter Gases And Liquids Multiple Choice Questions
Question 1. Equal weight of CH4 and H2 are mixed in an empty container at 25°C. The fraction of the total pressure exerted by H2 is
- \(\frac{1}{9}\)
- \(\frac{1}{2}\)
- \(\frac{8}{9}\)
- \(\frac{16}{17}\)
Answer: 3. \(\frac{8}{9}\)
The gas mixture contains equal masses of CH and H2. Suppose, the mass of each of these gases = u>g so, in the mixture
⇒ \(x_{\mathrm{H}_2}=\frac{w / 2}{\frac{w}{2}+\frac{w}{16}}=\frac{8}{9} \text { and } x_{\mathrm{CH}_4}=1-x_{\mathrm{H}_2}=1-\frac{8}{9}=\frac{1}{9}\)
∴ The partial pressure of \(\mathrm{H}_2, p_{\mathrm{H}_2}=x_{\mathrm{H}_2} \times P=\frac{8}{9} P\) [p= total pressure of the mixture]
∴ \(\frac{p_{\mathrm{H}_2}}{P}=\frac{8}{9}\)
Question 2. Avan der Waals gas may behave ideally when
- Volume is very low
- Temperature is very high
- The pressure is very
- The temperature, pressure, and volume all are very high
Answer: 3. The pressure is very
A van der Waals gas behaves ideally when its temperature is very high or pressure is very low. At either of these two conditions, the volume of the gas becomes very large, which results in a large separation of gas molecules.
Thus, intermolecular forces of attraction become negligible, and gas behaves approximately like an ideal gas.
Question 3. Two gases X (mol. wt. Mx) and Y (mol. wt. My; My> Mx) are at the same temperature, in two different containers. Their root mean square velocities are Cx and CY respectively. If average kinetic energies per molecule of two gases X and Y are Ex and Ey respectively, then which of the following relation(s) is (are) true
- Ex>EY
- CX>CY
- \(E_X=E_Y=\frac{3}{2} R T\)
- \(E_X=E_Y=\frac{3}{2} k_B T\)
Answer: 3. \(E_X=E_Y=\frac{3}{2} R T\)
For 1 mol of a gas, van der Waals equation: \(\left(P+\frac{a}{V^2}\right)(v-b)=R T\) If the value of is negligible, then \(P+\frac{a}{V^2} \approx P\)
∴ P(V-b) = RT or, PV = RT + Pb \(\text { or, } \frac{P V}{R T}=1+\frac{P b}{R T} \quad \text { or, } Z=1+\frac{P b}{R T}\)
Question 4. The compressibility factor (Z) of one mole of a van der Waals gas of negligible ‘a’ value is-
- 1
- \(\frac{b P}{R T}\)
- \(1+\frac{b P}{R T}\)
- \(1-\frac{b P}{R T}\)
Answer: 3. \(1+\frac{b P}{R T}\)
For 1 mol of a gas, van der Waals equation: \(\left(p+\frac{a}{V^2}\right)(v-b)=R T\)
If the value of ‘a’ is negligible, the \(P+\frac{a}{V^2} \approx P\)
∴ P(V-b) = RT
⇒ \(\text { or, } P V=R T+P b \quad \text { or, } \frac{P V}{R T}=1+\frac{P b}{R T} \quad \text { or, } Z=1+\frac{P b}{R T}\)
Question 5. For one mole of an ideal gas, the slope of the V vs. T curve at a constant pressure of 2 atm is XL-moH-K¯¹. The value of the ideal universal gas constant ‘R’ in terms of X is
- \(X \mathrm{~L} \cdot \mathrm{atm} \cdot \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{K}^{-1}\)
- \(\frac{X}{2} \mathrm{~L} \cdot \mathrm{atm} \cdot \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{K}^{-1}\)
- \(2 X \mathrm{~L} \cdot \mathrm{atm} \cdot \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{K}^{-1}\)
- \(2 X \mathrm{~atm} \cdot \mathrm{L}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{K}^{-1}\)
Answer: 3. \(2 X \mathrm{~L} \cdot \mathrm{atm} \cdot \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{K}^{-1}\)
⇒ \(P V=n R T \text { or, } P\left(\frac{V}{n}\right)=R T\)
or,PVm = RT [Vm = molar volume \(\text { or, } V_m=\frac{R}{P} T\)
At constant pressure, \(\frac{R}{P}\) = constant = K. So, at constant pressure, for 1 mol of an ideal gas, Vm = KT. This relation represents a straight-line equation passing through the origin. So, for 1 mol of an ideal gas at constant pressure, the graph of Vm vs. Twill be a straight line with slope = K.
Given,K= XL.mol¯¹.K¯¹.
⇒ \(\text { or, } \frac{R}{P}=X \mathrm{~L} \cdot \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{K}^{-1} \quad \text { or, } \frac{R}{2 \mathrm{~atm}}=X \mathrm{~L} \cdot \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{K}^{-1}\)
∴ R = 2XL-atm-mol-1.K-1
Question 6. At a certain temperature, the time required for the complete diffusion of 200 mL of H2 gas is 30 minutes. The time required for the complete diffusion of 50 mL of O2 gas at the same temperature will be
- 60 mins.
- 30 mins.
- 45 mins.
- 15 mins.
Answer: 2. 30 mins.
According to Graham’s law \(\frac{V_{\mathrm{H}_2} / t_1}{V_{\mathrm{O}_2} / t_2}=\sqrt{M_{\mathrm{O}_2} / M_{\mathrm{H}_2}}\)
⇒ \(\text { or, } \frac{V_{\mathrm{H}_2}}{V_{\mathrm{O}_2}} \times \frac{t_2}{t_1}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{\mathrm{O}_2}}{M_{\mathrm{H}_2}}} \text { or, } \frac{200}{50} \times \frac{t_2}{30 \mathrm{~min}}=\sqrt{\frac{32}{2}}=4\)
∴ T2 = 30 min
Question 7. Four gases P, Q, R, and S have almost the same values but their ‘a! values (a, b are van der Waals constants) are in the order Q<R<S<P. At particular temperatures, among the four gases, the most easily liquefiable one is
- P
- Q
- R
- S
Answer: 1. P
The van der Waals constant ‘a’ of a gas is a measure of the intermolecular forces of attraction in the gas. The larger the value of ‘a’, the stronger the intermolecular forces of attraction. Now, a gas with strong intermolecular forces of attraction can easily be liquefied. So, the most easily liquefiable gas is P.
Question 8. Units of surface tension and viscosity are
- \(\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1}, \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{-1}\)
- \(\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-2}, \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1}\)
- \(\mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{-1}, \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-2}\)
- \(\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1}, \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{-2} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1}\)
Answer: 2. \(\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-2}, \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1}\)
⇒ \(\text { Surface tension }=\frac{\text { Force }}{\text { Length }}=\frac{\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{(\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{s})^{-2}}{\mathrm{~m}}=\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-2} \text {. }\)
Coefficient of viscosity = \(\mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{-2} \cdot \mathrm{s}=\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}^{-2} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{-2} \cdot \mathrm{s}\)
\(\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1}\)Question 9. A gas can be liquefied at temperature T and pressure P if-
- T= TC, P<PC
- T<TC,P>PC
- T>TC,P>PC
- T>TC,P<PC
Answer: 2. Two important conditions for liquefying a gas are— temperature should be lower than critical temperature (T<TC) and pressure should be greater than critical pressure (P > Pc).
Question 10. The rms velocity of CO2 gas molecules at 27°C is approximately 1000 m/s. For N2 molecules at 600K the rms velocity approximately
- 2000 m/s
- 1414 m/s
- 1000 m/s
- 1500 m/s
Answer: 3. 1000 m/s
⇒ \(c_{r m s}=\sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{M}} \text {, so, } \frac{c_{r m s}(\mathrm{CO})}{c_{rms}\left(\mathrm{~N}_2\right)}=\sqrt{\frac{3 R T_{300}}{M_{\mathrm{CO}}} \times \frac{M_{N_2}}{3 R T_{600}}}\)
Question 11. Among tire following which should have the highest rms speed at the same temperature
- SO2
- CO2
- O2
- H2
Answer: 4. H2
⇒ \(c_{r m s}=\sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{M}} \quad \text { or, } c_{r m s} \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}\)
Question 12. Which of the following has the dimension of ML0T-2
- Coefficient of viscosity
- Surface tension
- Vapour pressure
- Kinetic energy
Answer: 2. Surface tension \(\gamma=\frac{\text { force }}{\text { length }}\)
⇒ \(\text { or, } \gamma=\frac{\text { mass } \times \text { acceleration }}{\text { length }}\)
⇒ \(=\frac{\mathrm{M} \times \mathrm{LT}^{-2}}{\mathrm{~L}}=\mathrm{ML}^0 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\)
Question 13. For the same mass of two different ideal gases molecular weights M1 and M2, plots of logV vs logP at a given constant temperature are shown.
Identify the correct option-
- M1>M2
- M1=M2
- M1<M2
- Can be predicted only if the temperature is known
Answer: 1. M1>M2 From the ideal gas equation
P V = n R T = \(frac{W}{M} R T\)
Or,PV= \(\frac{k}{M}\)
Where k = WRT
Or, \(\log P+\log V=\log \frac{k}{M}\)
Or, \(\log V=-\log P+\log \frac{\kappa}{M}(y=m x+c)\)
According to the intercepts in the graph
⇒ \(\log \frac{k}{M_2}>\log \frac{k}{M_1}\) \(\text { or, } \frac{k}{M_2}>\frac{k}{M_1} \quad \text { or, } M_1>M_2\)
Question 14. Equal weights of ethane and hydrogen are mixed in an empty container at 25°C. The fraction of total pressure exerted by hydrogen is
- 1: 2
- 1:1
- 1:16
- 15:16
Answer: 4. 15:16
Let, wc2H6 = wH2 = w
⇒ \(n_{\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_6}=\frac{w}{30} \text { and } n_{\mathrm{H}_2}=\frac{w}{2}\)
∴ \(n_{\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_6}=\frac{w}{30} \text {. and } n_{\mathrm{H}_2}=\frac{w}{2}\)
∴ \(x_{\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_6}=\frac{n_{\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_6}}{n_{\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_6}+n_{\mathrm{H}_2}}=\frac{\frac{1}{30}}{\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{1}{16}\)
[n= number of moles, x = mole fraction]
Similarly \(x_{\mathrm{H}_2}=\frac{15}{16}\)
According to Dalton’s law of partial pressure
⇒ \(p_{\mathrm{H}_2}=x_{\mathrm{H}_2} \times P \quad[P=\text { total pressure }] \)
⇒ \(\frac{P_{\mathrm{H}_2}}{P}=x_{\mathrm{H}_2}=\frac{15}{16}\)
Question 15. Compressibility factor for a real gas at high pressure
- 1
- \(1+\frac{P b}{R T}\)
- \(1-\frac{P b}{R T}\)
- \(1+\frac{R T}{P b}\)
Answer: 2. \(1+\frac{P b}{R T}\)
Van der Waals equation \(\left(P+\frac{a}{V^2}\right)(V-b)=R T\)
At high pressure \(P \gg \frac{a}{V^2}\) hence, P(V-b) = RT
⇒ \(\text { or, } P V=R T+P b \text { or, } \frac{P V}{R T}=1+\frac{P b}{R T} \text { or, } Z=1+\frac{P b}{R T}\)
Question 16. ‘a’ and ‘b’ are van der Waals constant for gases. Chlorine is more easily liquefied them ethane because
- A and B for Cl2 < A and B for C2H6
- A for Cl2 < A for C2H6 but B for Cl2 > B for C2H6
- A for Cl2 > A for C2H6 but B for Cl2< B for C2H6
- A and B for Cl2 > A and B for C2H6
Answer: 3. A for Cl2 > A for C2H6 but B for Cl2 < B for C2H6
Van der Waals constants ‘a’ is a measure of intermolecular forces of attraction of a gas whereas ‘b’ is a measure of the size of gas molecules. Hence, more is the value of a more easily the gas will be liquefied.
Question 17. For the gaseous state, if the most probable speed is denoted by c, average speed by c, and mean square speed by c, then for a large number of molecules the ratios of these speeds are
- c*:c:c = 1.225: 1.128: 1
- c*:c:c = 1.128: 1.225: 1
- c*:c:c = 1:1.128:1.225
- c*:c:c = 1:1.225:1.128
Answer: 4. c*:c:c = 1:1.225:1.128
Question 18. If Z is a compressibility factor, the van der Waals equation at low pressure can be written as
- \(Z=1+\frac{P b}{R T}\)
- \(Z=1+\frac{R T}{P b}\)
- \(Z=1-\frac{a}{R T V}\)
- \(Z=1-\frac{P b}{R T}\)
Answer: 3. \(Z=1-\frac{a}{R T V}\)
Van der Waals constant ‘a’ is a measure of intermolecular forces of attraction of a gas whereas ‘b’ is a measure of the size of gas molecules. Hence, more is the value of a more easily the gas will be liquefied.
Question 19. The ratio of masses of oxygen and nitrogen in a gaseous mixture is 1:4 ratio of the number of their molecule is
- 3:16
- 1:4
- 7:32
- 1:8
Answer: 4. 1:8
Question 20. Intermolecular interaction that is dependent on the inverse cube of the distance between the molecules
- London force
- Hydrogen bond
- ion ion interaction
- ion-dipole interaction
Answer: 1. London force
1, 3, and 4, are not applicable as the interaction is intermolecular. 2 is not the correct choice as the hydrogen bond does not follow the relation mentioned above.
Question 21. Two closed bulbs of equal volume ( V) containing an Ideal gas Initially at pressure pt and temperature T1 are connected through a narrow tube of negligible volume. The temperature of one of the bulbs is then raised to 7 2. The final pressure p1 Is-
- \(p_1\left(\frac{T_1 T_2}{T_1+T_2}\right)\)
- \(2 p_i\left(\frac{T_1}{T_1+T_2}\right)\)
- \(2 p_1\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1+T_2}\right)\)
- \(2 p_i\left(\frac{T_1 T_2}{T_1+T_2}\right)\)
Answer: 3. \(2 p_1\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1+T_2}\right)\)
n1+n2=n1‘+n’2
∴ \(\frac{p_i V}{R T_1}+\frac{p_i V}{R T_1}=\frac{p_f V}{R T_1}+\frac{p_f V}{R T_2}\)
Question 22. A gas mixture was prepared by taking equal moles of CO and N2. If the total pressure of the mixture was 1 atm, the partial pressure of N2 in the mixture is
- 0.5 atm
- 0.8 atm
- 0.9 atm
- 1 atm
Answer: 1. 0.5 atm
In the mixture \(x_{\mathrm{N}_2}=\frac{1}{2} \text { and } x_{\mathrm{CO}}=\frac{1}{2}\)
∴ \(p_{\mathrm{N}_2}=x_{\mathrm{N}_2} \times P=\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \mathrm{~atm}=0.5 \mathrm{~atm}\)
Question 23. Two gases A and B having the same volume diffuse through a porous partition in 20 and 10 seconds respectively. Molar mass ofA is 49u. The molecular mass will be—
- 50.00u
- 12.25u
- 6.50u
- 25.00u
Answer: 2. 12.25u
⇒ \(\frac{r_A}{r_B}=\sqrt{\frac{M_B}{M_A}} \text { or, } \frac{V / 20}{V / 10}=\sqrt{\frac{M_B}{49}} \text { or, } \frac{1}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{M_B}{49}}\)
∴ Mb = 12.25u
Question 24. By what factors does the average velocity of a gas molecule increase when the temperature (inK) is doubled
- 2.0
- 2.8
- 4.0
- 1.4
Answer: 4. 1.4
⇒ \(\bar{c}=\sqrt{\frac{8 R T}{\pi M}}\)
When Pis doubled, \(\bar{c}_1=\sqrt{\frac{8 R \times 2 T}{\pi M}}=\sqrt{2} \sqrt{\frac{8 R}{\pi M}}\)
∴ MB= 12.25u
Question 25. 50mL of each gas A and B takes 150s and 200s respectively for effusing through a pinhole under similar conditions. If the molar mass of gas B is 36, the molar mass of gas A—
- 20.25
- 64
- 96
- 128
Answer: 1. 20.25
⇒ \(\frac{r_A}{r_B}=\sqrt{\frac{M_B}{M_A}} \text { or, } \frac{V_A}{t_A} \times \frac{t_B}{V_B}=\sqrt{\frac{M_B}{M_A}}\)
⇒ \(\text { or, } \frac{50}{150} \times \frac{200}{50}=\sqrt{\frac{36}{M_A}} \text { or, } \frac{4}{3}=\sqrt{\frac{36}{M_A}} \text { or, } \frac{16}{9}=\frac{36}{M_A}\)
∴ \(M_A=\frac{36 \times 9}{16}=20.25\)
Question 26.
- Set-1: O2, CO2, H2 and He,
- Set-2: CH4, O2 and H2.
The gases in set-I in increasing order of ’b’ and gases given in set-II in decreasing order of ‘a’ are arranged below here ‘a’ and ‘b’ are van der Waals constants. Select the Correct order from the following
- O2 < He < H2 < CO2 ; H2 >O2 > CH2
- H2 < He < O2 < CO2; CH4 >O2 > H2
- H2 < O2< He < CO2 ; O2 > CH4 > H2
- He < H2 < CO2 < O2 ; CH4 > H2 > O2
Answer: 2. H2 < He < O2 < CO2 ; CH4 > O2 > H2
A gas with strong intermolecular forces of attraction has a large value of a and a gas has a large value of ‘b’ if its molecules are big. The increasing order of sizes of H2, He, O2, and CO2 molecules is H2 < He <O2 < CO2. So, the increasing order of values for these gases is H2 < He < O2 < CO2. CH4, O2, and H2 are all non-polar molecules.
The only intermolecular forces of attraction that act in CH4, O2, and H2 gases are London forces. The strength of London forces increases with molecular size.
So, the increasing order of intermolecular forces in CH4, O2, and H2 gases will be CH4 > O2 > H2. Again, the stronger the intermolecular forces of attraction in a gas, the larger the value of the gas. Therefore, the decreasing order of ‘b’ values for these gases will be CH4 > O2 > H2.
Question 27. A certain gas takes three times as long to effuse out ns helium. Its molecular mass will be
- 36u
- 64u
- 9u
- 27u
Answer: 1. 36u
⇒ \(\frac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}} \text { or, } \frac{v / t_1}{v / t_2}=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}} \text { or, } \frac{t_2}{t_1}=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}\)
Or, \(\frac{3}{1}=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{4 \mathrm{u}}} \text { or, } M_2=36 \mathrm{u}\)
[t1 and t2 are the times for the diffusion of VmLHe and VmL unknown gas respectively. M1 = molar mass of He, M2 = molar mass of unknown gas]
Question 28. Maximum deviation from Ideal gas is expected in case of—
- CH4(g)
- NH3(g)
- H2(g)
- N2(g)
Answer: 2.
NH3(g) CH4, H2 and N2 are non-polar molecules. Only intermolecular forces that operate in CH4, H2, and N2 gases are weak London forces.
As NH3 is a polar molecule, besides weak London forces, relatively stronger dipole-dipole attractive forces also act among the molecules in NH3 gas. So, among the given gases, intermolecular forces of attraction will be strongest in NH3, and hence it will show maximum deviation from ideal behaviour.
Question 29. Equal masses of H2, O2, and methane have been taken in a container of volume V at a temperature of 27°C in identical conditions. The ratio of the volumes of gases H2: O2: methane would be –
- 8:16:1
- 16:8:1
- 16:1:2
- 8:1:2
Answer: 3. 16:1:2
Let the mass of each of the gases be wg. In the mixture
⇒ \(n_{\mathrm{H}_2}=\frac{w}{2} \mathrm{~mol}, n_{\mathrm{O}_2}=\frac{w}{32} \mathrm{~mol} \text { and } n_{\mathrm{CH}_4}=\frac{w}{16} \mathrm{~mol} \text {. }\)
Total number of moles in the mixture \(=\frac{w}{2}+\frac{w}{32}+\frac{w}{16}=\frac{19}{32} w\)
So,in the mixture, \(x_{\mathrm{H}_2}=\frac{w / 2}{19 w / 32}=\frac{16}{19}, x_{\mathrm{O}_2}=\frac{1}{19}\) and \(x_{\mathrm{CH}_4}=\frac{2}{19} .\)
The volume fraction of a component in the mixture = mole fraction ofthe component x total volume ofthe mixture
∴ \(V_{\mathrm{H}_2}=\frac{16}{19} \times V, V_{\mathrm{O}_2}=\frac{1}{19} \times V \text { and } V_{\mathrm{CH}_4}=\frac{2}{19} \times V\)
∴ \(V_{\mathrm{H}_2}: V_{\mathrm{O}_2}: V_{\mathrm{CH}_4}=16: 1: 2\)
Question 30. A gas such as carbon monoxide would be most likely to obey the ideal gas law at
- High temperatures and low pressures

- \(\frac{1}{2}\)
- \(\frac{1}{8}\)
- \(\frac{1}{4}\)
- \(\frac{3}{8}\)
Answer: 2. \(\frac{1}{8}\)
⇒ \(\text { } \frac{r_{\mathrm{O}_2}}{r_{\mathrm{H}_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{\mathrm{H}_2}}{M_{\mathrm{O}_2}}} \text { or, } \frac{n_{\mathrm{O}_2} / t}{0.5 / t} \quad \text { or, } n_{\mathrm{O}_2}=\frac{1}{8}\)

- Forces of attraction between the gas molecules
- Density of the gas molecules
- The electric field present between the gas molecules
- The volume of the gas molecules
Answer: 1. Forces of attraction between the gas molecules
In the real gas equation \(\left(P+\frac{a n^2}{V^2}\right)(V-n b)=n R T \text {; }\) van der Waals constant ‘ a ‘ represents the intermolecular forces attraction between the molecules.

- NH3 > H2O > CO2 > O2
- O2>CO2>H2O>NH3
- H2O > NH3 > CO2 > O2
- CO2 >O2 > H2O > NH3
Answer: 3. H2O > NH3 > CO2> O2
The greater the intermolecular forces of attraction, the higher the critical temperature
Question 36. The density of gas A is thrice that of a gas B at the same temperature. The molecular weight of gas B is twice that of A. What will be the ratio of the pressures acting on B and A —
- \(\frac{1}{4}\)
- \(\frac{7}{8}\)
- \(\frac{2}{5}\)
- \(\frac{1}{6}\)
Answer: 4. \(\frac{1}{6}\)
⇒ \(\frac{d}{p}=\frac{M}{R T}\)
⇒ \(\frac{1}{6}\)
Let density ofgas B be d
∴ The density of gas A = 3d and molecular weight of A be M.
∴ Molecular weight of B = 2M Since, R is gas constant and T is the same for gases, so
⇒ \( p_A=\frac{d_A R T}{M_A} \text { and } p_B=\frac{d_B R T}{M_B}\)
⇒ \(\frac{p_B}{p_A}=\frac{d_B}{d_A} \times \frac{M_A}{M_B}=\frac{d}{3 d} \times \frac{M}{2 M}=\frac{1}{6}\)
Question 37. In van der Waals equation at constant temperature 300k, if a = 1.4 atm-L2-mol-2, V = 100 mL, n = 1 mole, then what is the pressure of the gas
- 42 atm
- 210 atm
- 500 atm
- 106 atm
Answer: 4. 106 atm
At moderate pressure, the van der Waals equation is given
⇒ \(\left(P+\frac{a n^2}{V^2}\right)(V)=n R T\)
⇒ \(\left(P+\frac{1.4}{(0.1)^2}\right)(0.1)=1 \times 0.082 \times 300\)
or, (P+ 140) × 0.1 = 24.6 or, 0.1, P+ 14 = 24.6
or, 0.1 P = 10.6 or, P = 106 atm
