The ratio of root mean square velocity of average velocity of a gas molecule at a particular temperture isA. `1.086 : 2`B. `1 : 1.086`C. `2 : 1.086`D. `1.086 : 1`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
According to the kinetic molecular theory of gases , we have
`u_(rms) : u_(aV) = sqrt((3RT)/(M)) : sqrt((8RT)/(pi M))`
`= sqrt(3) : sqrt((8)/(pi))`
` = sqrt(3) : sqrt(2.54)`
`= 1.732 : 1.595`
` = (1.732)/(1.595) : (1.595)/(1.595)`
` = 1.086 : 1`

The ratio of root mean square velocity of average velocity of a gas molecule at a particular temperture isA. `1 : 1.086`B. `2 : 1.86`C. `1.086 : 1`D. `2.086 : 1`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Root mean square velocity `(V_(rms))=sqrt(3RT)/(M)`
Average velocity `(V_(av))=sqrt(8RT)/(piM)`
For a gas at temperature T, M is constant.
`:.V_(rms)/V_(av)=sqrt(3Rt)/(M)xxsqrt(piM)/(8RT)`
`(sqrt(3)xxsqrt(pi))/(sqrt(8))=(sqrt(3)xxsqrt(3.14))/(sqrt(8))=1.086/1`

The term that is correct for the attractive forces present in a real gas in the van der Waals equation isA. `-nb`B. `-(an^(2))/(V^(2))`C. `(an^(2))/(V^(2))`D. `nb`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The total force of attraction on any molecule about to hit wall is proportional to the concentration of the neighboring molecules , `n//V` . However , the number of molecules about to hit the wall per unit wall area is also proportional to the concentration , `n//V`. Therefore , the force per unit wall area (pressure) is reduced from that assumed in the ideal gas law by a factor proportional to `n^(2)//V^(2)`. Letting `a` to be the proportionality constant, we can write the correction factor as
`an^(2)//V^(2)`

Calculate the volume in `mL` hydrogen peroxide labelled `10` volume required to liberate `600 mL` of oxygen at `27^(@)C` and `760 mm`.

Answer» `10V` of `H_(2)O_(2)`
`1V` of `H_(2)O` gives `10V` of `O_(2)` at `STP`.
`1 mL` of `10 V H_(2)O_(2)` gives `10 ml` of `O_(2)`.
Volume of `O_(2)` required at `NTP`
`{:(V_(1)= 600, P_(1)=760 mm),(V_(2)=?, P_(2)=760 mm),(T_(1)=300K, T_(2)=273K):}`
`(P_(1)V_(1))/(T_(1))=(P_(2)V_(2))/(T_(2))`
`V_(2)=(P_(1)V_(1)T_(2))/(P_(2)T_(1))=600xx(273)/(300)=546 mL`
`10 V` of `H_(2)O_(2)` produces `10 mL` of `O_(2)` at `STP` for `1 mL` of its volume.
Hence, for `546 mL` of `O_(2)` at `NTP`, the volume of `10 V` of `H_(2)O_(2)` required `=(546xx1)/(10)=54.6 mL`
(Alternative method)
Volume of `O_(2)` at `STP=?`
`600 mL` of `O_(2)` at `27^(@)C(273+27=300 K)` and `760 mm` or `1 atm`
`(P_(1)V_(1))/(T_(1))=(P_(2)V_(2))/(T_(2))`
`{:(P_(1)= 1 atm, P_(2)=1 atm),(V_(1)=600 mL, V_(2)=?),(T_(1)=300K, T_(2)=273K):}`
`(1xx600)/(300)=(1xxV_(2))/(273)`
`V_(2)=(600xx273)/(300)=546 mL`
Volume strength of `H_(2)O_(2)xx` Volume of `H_(2)O_(2)`
`=` volume of `O_(2)` at `STP`
`10 Vxx x=546 mL`
`x=(546)/(10)=54.6 mL`
Volume of `H_(2)O_(2)=54.6 mL`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
According to the kinetic gas eqauation ,
`pV = (1)/(3) mnc^(2)`
For a single molecule of mass `m , n = 1` .
Thus ,
`u_(rms) = sqrt((3 pV)/(m))` (1)
According to gas equation , for one mole of gas , we have
`pV = RT`
For a single molecule , we have
`pV = (R )/(N_(0))T = kT` (2) lt brgt where `k` is called the Boltzmann constant.
Average kinetic energy per molecule `(E)` is given as
`E = (3)/(2) kT`
or `kT = (2)/(3) E` (3)
Combining Eqs. (1),(2), and (3) , we have
` u_(rms) = sqrt((3 xx (2)/(3)E)/(m)) = sqrt((2E)/(m))`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`U_(rms)=sqrt((3RT)/(M))`
`E=3/2RT` or `RT=(2E)/(3)`
`U_(rms)=sqrt((3xx2E)/(3//m))=sqrt((2E)/(M))`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
For 1 mole of a real gas, van der Waals equation is
`(P+(a)/(V^(2)))(V-b)=RT`
At low pressure, V is large and therefore, b can be neglected in comparison to V so that `V-b~-V`. Hence,
`(P+(a)/(V^(2)))V=RT`
or `PV+(a)/(V)=RT" or " PV=RT-(a)/(V)`
or `(PV)/(RT)=1-(a)/(VRT)" or " Z=1-(a)/(VRT)`

Answer» `v_(rms)=sqrt((3RT)/(M))`
`KE(E) "per mole"=(3)/(2)RT`
`RT=(2)/(3)KE`
`v_(rms)=sqrt((3)/(M)xx(2)/(3)KE)`
`=sqrt((2KE)/(M))=((2KE)/(M))^(1//2)`

(`a`) One mole of nitrogen gas at `0.8 atm` takes `38 s` to diffuse through a pinhole, whereas one mole of an unknown compound of xenon with fluorine at `1.6 atm` takes `57 s` to diffuse through the same hole. Calculate the molecular formula to the compound. (`b`) The pressure exerted by `12 g` of an ideal gas at temperature `t^(@)C` in a vessel of volume `V litre` is `1 atm`. When the temperature is increased by `10^(@)C` at the same volume, the pressure increases by `10%`. Calculate the temperature `t` and volume `V`. (Molecular weight of the gas is `120`.)

Answer» (`a`) The rate of diffusion depends on the following facotrs
`r prop p`
`r prop sqrt(1//M)`
Taking these together, we get
`(r_(2))/(r_(1))=(p_(2))/(p_(1))((M_(1))/(M_(2)))^(1//2)`
Since `r prop 1//t`, we can write
`(t_(1))/(t_(2))=(p_(2))/(p_(1))((M_(1))/(M_(2)))^(1//2)` or `M_(2)=((p_(2))/(p_(1))xx(t_(2))/(t_(1)))^(2)M_(1)`
Identifying the subscript `1` with nitrogen and `2` with unknown gas, we get
`M_(2)=((1.6)/(0.8)xx(57)/(38))^(2)(28 g mol^(-1))=252 g mol^(-1)`
Let the molecular formula of the unknown compound be `XeF_(n)`. We will have
`M_(Xe)+nM_(F)=252 g mol^(-1)`
i.e., `[131+n(19)] g mol^(-1)=252 g mol^(-1)`
or `n=(252-131)/(19)=6.36=6`
Hence, the molecular formula of the gas is `XeF_(6)`.
(`b`) From the expression `pV=nRT`, we can write
`(P_(1))/(P_(2))=(T_(1))/(T_(2))` (since `V` and `n` are constants)
For the given data, we get
`(1 atm)/(1.1 atm)=((273+t//^(@)C)K)/((273+t//^(@)C+10)K)`
or `283+t//^(@)C=1.1(273-t//^(@)C)`
or `t//^(@)C=(283-1.1xx273)/(0.1)=-173`
or `t=-173^(@)C`
For the given system
`n=(12 g)/(120 g mol^(-1))=0.1 mol`
`T=(273-173 K)=100 K`
Hence, `V=(nRT)/(P)`
`((0.1 mol)(0.082 L atm K^(-1)mol^(-1))(100 K))/(1 atm)`
`=0.82 atm`
1079.

One mole of nitrogen gas at `0.8atm` takes `38s` to diffuse through a pinhole, while `1 mol` of an unknown fluoride of xenon at `1.6 atm` takes `57 s` to diffuse through the same hole. Calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Answer» The available data is : `P_(N_(2)) = 0.8` atm, `t_(N_(2)) = 38 s, P_(g) = 1.6` atm , `t_(g) = 57 s`
Rate of diffusion `(r) prop (P)/(sqrt(M))`
`:. (r_(N_(2)))/(r_(g)) = (P_(N_(2)))/(P_(g)) xx sqrt((M_(g))/(M_(N_(2))))`
Since rate of diffusion `(r) prop 1/t`.
`:. (t_(g))/(t_(N_(2))) = (P_(N_(2)))/(P_(g)) xx sqrt((M_(g))/(M_(N_(2))))`
On substituting the value, `57/58 = (0.8)/(1.6) xx sqrt((M_(g))/(28))`
or `sqrt((M_(g))/(28)) = (57)/(38) xx 2 = 3`
Squaring both sides, `(M_(g))/(28) = 9` or `M_(g) = 28 xx 9 = 252`
Let the molecular formula of compound of `Xe` be `Xe F_(n)`.
Molecular mass of `XeF_(n) = 132 + n xx 19`
Comparing (i) and (ii)
`131 + n xx 19 = 252` or `n = (252-131)/(19) = 121/19 = 6.3` or `6`
`:.` Molecular formula `= XeF_(6)`.

5 g of an unknown hgas has pressure P at temperature TK in a vessel. On increasing the temperature by `50^(@)C`, 1g of the was given out to maintain the pressure P. What was the original temperature of the gas ?

Answer» Initially, `T_(1)=T,P_(1)=P,V_(1)=V `(Volume of the vessel), `n_(1)=(5)/(M)`mole
Finally, `T_(2)=(T+50)K, P_(2)=P, V_(2)=V, n_(2)=(5-1)/(M)=(4)/(M)` mole
(Increase of `50^(@)C`=increase of 50 K because size of `1^(@)C`=1 K)
Applying PV=nRT
`n_(1)T_(1)=n_(2)T_(2)`
`(5)/(M)xxT=(4)/(M)(T+50)" or "5T=4T+200" or T=200 K`

At `27^(@)C, " "c=sqrt((3Rxx300)/(M))=sqrt(300)x`
`=17.3x" " (x=sqrt((3R)/(M)))`
At `127^(@)C`
`c=sqrt((3Rxx400)/(M))=sqrt(400)x=20x`
`:.` Increase`=20x-17.3x=2.7x`
% increase`=(2.7x)/(17.3x)xx100=15.6`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`r prop 1//sqrt(M)`. Molecular mass of HCl (36.5) is greater than that of `NH_(3)`(17), hence HCl will diffuse slowly, i.e., the ring will be formed near the HCl bottle.
