In a crude model of a rotating diatomic molecule of chlorine `(Cl_2)`, the two `(C l)` atoms are `2.0 xx 10^-10 m` apart and rotate about their centre of mass with angular speed `omega = 2.0 xx 10^12 "rad" //s`. What is the rotational kinetic energy of one molecule of `C l_(2)` , Which has a molar mass of `70.0 g // mol` ? .A. `2.32xx10^(-20)J`B. `2.32xx10^(-21)J`C. `2.32xx10^(-19)J`D. `2.32xx10^(-22)J`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Let =moment of inertia
`l=2(mr^(2))`
`m=(70xx10^(-3)/(2xx6.02xx10^(23)) = 5.81xx10^(-26)kg`
`r=(2xx10^(-10)/(2)=1xx10^(-10)m`
`l=1.16xx10^(-45)k//m^(2)`
`therefore k=(1)/(2)//omega^(2)`
`=(1)/(2)(1.16xx10^(-45))(2xx10^(12))6(2)`
`=2.32xx10^(-21)J`

Volume at `7^(@)C = 4xx10^(-3)m^(3)`
Let it be heated to x K.
`Volume =(12)/(6xx10^(-4))cm^(3)=2xx10^(4)cm^(3)`
Since, `V/T=constant`
`therefore` " " `(4xx10^(-3))/(280)=(2xx10^(-2))/(x)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
)`P_(1)V=(7)/(28)xxRxx290`
`p_(2)V=(11)/(44)xxRxx290`
`therefore (P_(1)+P_(2))V=((7)/(28)+(11)/(44))Rxx290`
`before P_(1)+P_(2)=1 atm`
`V=(((7)/(28)+(11)/(44))xx8.3xx10^(7)xx290)/(1.013xx10^(6))`
`therefore Density `= (mass)/(volume)=(18)/(V)=1.515 g//L`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Ideal gas equation is given by
`pV=nRT` " "..(i)
For oxygen ,`P =1atm,V=1L,n=n_(0)`
Therefore,Eq (i) becomes
`therefore` " "` 1xx1=nO_(2)RT rArr n_(O_(2))=1/RT`
and `0.5xx2=n_(N_(2))RT rArr n_(N_(2))=1/RT`
For mixture of gas,
`P_(mix)V_(mix)=n_(mix)RT`
Here, `n_(mix)=n_(O_(2))+n_(N_(2))`
`therefore` " "`(P_(mix)V_(mix))/(RT)=1/RT+1/RT`
`rArr P_(mix)V_(mix)=2`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Average KE per molecule of a gas `=(3)/(2)KT`
Before mixing two gases, the averge KE of all molecules of 2 gases
`=(3)/(2)kn_(1)T_(1)+(3)/(2)kn_(2)T_(2)`
after mixing the average KE of both gases
`=(3)/(2)k(n_(1)+n_(2))T`
where,T is temperature of mixture
`therefore` No loss of enegy.
`therefore` " " `(3)/(2)k(n_(1)+n_(2))T=(3)/(2)kn_(1)T_(1)+(3)/(2)kn_(2)T_(2)`
`T=(n_(1)T_(1)+n_(2)T_(2))/(n_(1)+n_(2))`

As V-T graph is a straight line with positive siope therefore its equation, may be written as
`V=aT+b`
From standard gas equation,
`p=(RT)/(V)=(RT)/(AT)+b=(R)/(a+b)//T`
As, `T_(2)gtT_(1)`
`therefore`" "` P_(2)gtP_(1)orPO_(1)ltP_(2)`
