The weight of 350 ml of diatomic gas at 0°C and 2 atm pressure is 1 g. What is atomic mass of it

Answer»

Solution:

Use the formula PV = nRT
​P = 2 atm
V = 350 ml. = 0.35 L
R = 0.0821 L atm K-1 mol-1
T = 0º​ C = 273 K
Putting the values in given formula we get :
n = PV/RT
= ​2 atm x 0.35 L/ 0.0821 L atm K-1 mol-1​ x 273 K
= 0.0312 mol
Now weight of 0.0312 mol of gas is 1 gram
therefore weight of 1 mol of gas would be 1/0.0312 = 32 g mol-1
Since the gas is diatomic therefore weight of 1 mole atom = 16 g mol-1
Weight of 1 atom of gas = 16 g mol-1/ 6.022 x 1023 atom mol-1
= 2.65 x 10-23 g /atom

4.

The weight of 350 ml a diatomic gas at `0^(@)C` and 2atm pressure is 1 gm.The weight of one atom is :-A. `(16)/(N_(A))`B. `(32)/(N_(A))`C. `16N_(A)`D. `32N_(A)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
PV = nRT
` (2xx350)/(1000) = (1)/(Mw)xx0.082xx273`
Mw = 32
wt of molecule of diatomic molecule `A_(2) = (32)/(N_(A))`
wt of 1 atom of diatomic molecule
` A_(2) = (32)/(N_(A))xx(1)/(2)=(16)/(N_(A))`

Expand log(1 + sin2 x) in powers of x as far as the term in x6

Answer» Expand f (x) = log (1 + sin2
x) in powers of x upto x
6
.

log (1 + sin2x)

= sin2x - \(\frac{sin^4x}{2}\) + \(\frac{sin^6x}{3}\) - ...

(∵ log ( 1 + x) = x - \(\frac{x^2}{2}\)\(\frac{x^3}{3}\) ... if 1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and here 0 ≤ sin2x ≤ 1)

= (x - \(\frac{x^3}{3!}\)\(\frac{x^5}{5!}\)- ...)2\(\frac{1}{2}\)(x - \(\frac{x^3}{3!}\)\(\frac{x^5}{5!}\)- ...)4 + \(\frac{1}{3}\)(x - \(\frac{x^3}{3!}\)\(\frac{x^5}{5!}\)- ...)6 - .....

(∵ sinx = x - \(\frac{x^3}{3!}\)\(\frac{x^5}{5!}\)- ...)

Since,

We consider power of x at the terms x6.

Therefore,

Remove other terms which gives power more than 6.

= (x - \(\frac{x^3}{3!}\)\(\frac{x^5}{5!}\)+ ...)\(\frac{1}{2}\)(x - \(\frac{x^3}{3!}\)\(\frac{x^5}{5!}\)+ ...)4 + (\(\frac{x^6}{3}\) + ....)

= (x2\(\frac{x^6}{(3!)^2}\) - \(\frac{2x^4}{3!}\) + \(\frac{2x^6}{5!}\) + ....) - \(\frac{1}{2}\)(x4\(\frac{4x^6}{3!}\)+...) + (\(\frac{x^6}{3}\) + ...)

= x2 - x4(\(\frac{2}{3!}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\)) + x6(\(\frac{1}{(3!)^2}\)+\(\frac{2}{5!}\)+\(\frac{2}{3!}\)+\(\frac{1}{3}\)) + ....

= x2 - x4(\(\frac{2}{6}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\)) + x6(\(\frac{1}{36}\)+\(\frac{2}{120}\)+\(\frac{2}{6}\)+\(\frac{1}{3}\)) + ....

(∵ 3! = 6, 5! = 120)

= x2 - x4\((\frac{2+3}{6})\) + x6 \(\times\)\(\frac{10+6+120+120}{360}\) + ....

= x2\(\frac{5}{6}\)x4\(\frac{256}{360}\)x6 +....

=  x2\(\frac{5}{6}\)x4\(\frac{32}{45}\)x6 +....

Hence,

Expansion of log(1 + sin2x) in power of x at terms of x6 in log(1+sin2x) = x2\(\frac{5}{6}\)x4\(\frac{32}{45}\)x6 + ....
