Why are the gases helium and hydrogen not liquefied at room temperature by applying very high pressure?

Answer»

Because their critical temperature is lower than room temperature gases cannot be liquefied above the critical temperature by applying even very high pressure.

16852.

Which among the following will have? (i) HCI or H2O (Higher boiling point) (ii) Ether or water (Higher viscosity) (iii) Br2(l) or water (Lower surface tension)

Answer»

(i) Among HCI and H2O, H2O possesses higher boiling point due to presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in H2O

(ii) Among ether or water, water has higher viscosity which is due to presence of inter molecular hydrogen bonding in water. 

(iii) Among Br2(l) or water, Bran has lower surface tension. Because, water has strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding and also possesses higher surface tension. While Br2(l) does not show hydrogen bonding.

Why a gas could not be cooled at absolute temperature?

Answer»

The gas will no longer be a gas at absolute zero, but rather a solid. As the gas is cooled, it will make a phase transition from gas into liquid, and upon further cooling from liquid to solid (i.e., freezing)

16854.

Define absolute zero temperature.

Answer»

The lowest hypothetical or imaginary temperature at which gases are supposed to occupy zero volume is called Absolute zero.

16855.

What is absolute zero temperature? 

Answer»

The lowest hypothetical or imaginary temperature (-273.150C) at which volume of any gas becomes zero is called absolute zero temperature.

16856.

What is the cause of cooling the atmosphere?

Answer»

Evaporation is the main cause of cooling the atmosphere. The process of changing liquid into vapours is called evaporation. There are some molecules in liquid which have relatively high kinetic energy which are at liquid surface, they overcome force of attraction and change into vapour state. When high energy molecules leave the surface, the average kinetic energy decreases leading to a fall in temperature of the liquid, that is why evaporation causes cooling.

16857.

Write a short note on absolute temperature scale.

Answer»

Absolute temperature scale:

  • Absolute temperature scale is related to Celsius temperature scale by the equation:

T K = t °C + 273.15

  • This also called thermodynamic scale of temperature.
  • The units of this absolute temperature scale is called (K) in the honour of Lord Kelvin who determined the accurate value of absolute zero as -273.15 °C in the year 1854.
16858.

Explain the term polarizability

Answer»

Polarizability:

  • When two nonpolar molecules approach each other, attractive and repulsive forces between their electrons and the nuclei will lead to distortions in the size of electron cloud, a property referred to as polarizability.
  • Polarizability is a measure of how easily an electron cloud of an atom is distorted by an applied electric field.
  • It is the property of atom.
  • The ability to form momentary dipoles, that means, the ability of the molecule to become polar by redistributing its electrons is known as polarizability of the atom or molecule.

Consider three compounds : H2S, H2Se and H2O. Identify which has the highest boiling point. Justify.

Answer»

Among the three compounds H2O, H2S and H2Se, the first one, H2O has the smallest molecular mass. But it has the highest B.P. of 100°C. B.P. of H2S is -60°C and of H2Se is -41.25°C. The extraordinary high B.P. of H2O is due to very strong hydrogen bonding even though it has the lowest molecular mass.

Industrial policies of the early years became hindrance to the growth of industry. Explain.

Answer»
  • Entrepreneurs were required to follow so many procedures and had to wait for many years to get the approval from the government offices. 
  • Licenses were not given to the most efficient producers. 
  • The selection was biased in favour of people with political connections and the economically powerful. 
  • All this discouraged new entrepreneurs who would work with latest technology available.
  • Further control on prices led to shortage of goods. E.g.: Scooters. 
  • Such shortages were common for important basic goods like coal and cement, which in turn caused a lot of delay in production of other goods. 
  • Another problem was lack of quality of some of goods. 
  • There were restrictions on the import and export of industrial goods including machinery and raw materials. 
  • Prices were laid down by the government and the producers had to sell only at that price. 

So the above restrictions acted as hindrance to the growth of industry.

How does hydrogen bonding influence boiling points of compounds?

Answer»
  • Due to the presence of hydrogen bonding in the compounds, more energy is required to break the bonds.
  • Therefore, boiling point is more in case of liquid molecules containing hydrogen bond.
  • Hydrogen bonds can be quite strong with energies up to 40 kJ/mol.
  • The boiling point generally increases with increase in molecular mass, but the hydrides of nitrogen (NH3), oxygen (H2O) and fluorine (HF) have abnormally high boiling points due to the presence of hydrogen bonding between the molecules.

[Note: Due to presence of H-bond, viscosity’ of liquid increases. Hydrogen bonds play vital role in determining structure and properties of proteins and nucleic acids present in all living organisms.]

16878.

Why government in 1990s allowed private industries in many areas which were earlier restricted only to government?

Answer»
  • Indian industry as a result of government’s control was not modernizing fast and was producing goods at high cost and not making technological improvement. 
  • Government used to allocate a specifc amount every year to operate these industries. 
  • It was expected that these industries become independent, generate revenue for the government. 
  • But these government run factories continually require government assistance. 
  • Their functioning was much below that was expected. 
  • So, in the 1990s a new industrial policy was announced. Many activities which were earlier restricted only for the government are now allowed for the private industries.
