Question 13. 1. Estimate the fraction of molecular volume to the actual volume occupied by oxygen gas at STP.\u2019 Take the diameter of an oxygen molecule to be 3 A.<\/h2>\n

Answer:Diameter of an oxygen molecule, d = 3 A = 3 x 10-10m. Consider one mole of oxygen gas at STP, which contain total NA = 6.023 x 1023molecules.<\/h3>\n

Question 13. 2. Molar volume is the volume occupied by 1 mol of any (ideal) gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP : 1 atmospheric pressure, 0 \u00b0C). Show that it is 22.4 litres.<\/h2>\n

Question 13. 3. Following figure shows plot of PV\/T versus P for 1.00 x 10-3kg of oxygen gas at two different temperatures.
\n(a) What does the dotted plot signify?
\n(b) Which is true : T1> T2or T1< T2?
\n(c) What is the value of PV\/T where the curves meet on the y-axis?
\n(d) If we obtained similar plots for 1.00 x 10-3kg of hydrogen, would we get the same value of PV\/T at the point where the curves meet on the y-axis? If not, what mass of hydrogen yields the same value of PV\/T (for the low-pressure high-temperature region of the plot) ?(Molecular mass of H2= 2.02 u, of O2= 32.0 u, R = 8.31 J mol-1K-1.)<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Answer:(a) The dotted plot corresponds to \u2018ideal\u2019 gas behaviour as it is parallel to P-axis and it tells that value of PV\/T remains same even when P is changed.
\n(b) The upper position of PV\/T shows that its value is lesser for T1thus T1> T2. This is because the curve at T1is more close to dotted plot than the curve at T2Since the behaviour of a real gas approaches the perfect gas behaviour, as the temperature is increased.
\n(c) Where the two curves meet, the value of PV\/T on y-axis is equal to \u03bcR. Since ideal gas equation for \u03bc moles is PV = \u03bcRT<\/h3>\n

Question 13. 4. An oxygen cylinder of volume 30 Hire has an initial gauge pressure of 15 atmosphere and a temperature of 27 \u00b0C. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, the gauge pressure drops to 11 atmosphere and its temperature drops to 17 \u00b0C. Estimate the mass of oxygen taken out of the cylinder. (R = 8.31 J mol-1K-1, molecular mass of O2= 32 u.)<\/h2>\n

Question 13. 5. An air bubble of volume 1.0 cm3rises from the bottom of a lake 40 m deep at a temperature of 12\u00b0C. To what volume does it grow when it reaches the surface, which is at a temperature of 35 \u00b0C.<\/h2>\n

Question 13. 6. Estimate the total number of air molecules (inclusive of oxygen, nitrogen, water vapour and other constituents) in a room of capacity 25.0 m3at a temperature of 27 \u00b0C and 1 atm pressure.<\/h2>\n

Question 13. 7. Estimate the average thermal energy of a helium atom at (i) room temperature (27 \u00b0C), (ii) the temperature on the surface of the Sun (6000 K), (iii) the temperature of 10 million kelvin (the typical core temperature in the case of a star).<\/h2>\n

Question 13. 8. Three vessels of equal capacity have gases at the same temperature and pressure. The first vessel contains neon (monoatomic), the second contains chlorine (diatomic), and the third contains uranium hexafluoride (polyatomic). Do the vessels contain equal number of respective molecules? Is the root mean square speed of molecules the same in the three cases? If not, in which case is vrmsthe largest?<\/h2>\n

Answer:Equal volumes of all the gases under similar conditions of pressure and temperature contains equal number of molecules (according to Avogadro\u2019s hypothesis). Therefore, the number of molecules in each case is same.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Question 13. 9. At what temperature is the root mean square speed of an atom in an argon gas cylinder equal to the rms speed of a helium gas atom at -20 \u00b0C? (atomic mass of Ar = 39.9 u, of He = 4.0 u).<\/h2>\n

Answer:Let C and C\u2019 be the rms velocity of argon and a helium gas atoms at temperature T K and T K respectively.
\nHere, M = 39.9; M\u2019 = 4.0; T =?; T = -20 + 273 = 253 K<\/h3>\n

Question 13. 10. Estimate the mean free path and collision frequency of a nitrogen molecule in a cylinder containing nitrogen at 2.0 atm and temperature 17 \u00b0C. Take the radius of a nitrogen molecule to be roughly 1.0 A. Compare the collision time with the time the molecule moves freely between two successive collisions (Molecular mass of N2= 28.0 u).<\/h2>\n

Question 13. 11. A meter long narrow bore held horizontally (and closed at one end) contains a 76 cm long mercury thread which traps a 15 cm column of air. What happens if the tube is held vertically with the open end at the bottom?<\/h2>\n

Answer:When the tube is held horizontally, the mercury thread of length 76 cm traps a length of air = 15 cm. A length of 9 cm of the tube will be left at the open end. The pressure of air enclosed in tube will be atmospheric pressure. Let area of cross-section of the tube be 1 sq. cm.
\n.\u2019. P1= 76 cm and V1= 15 cm3<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When the tube is held vertically, 15 cm air gets another 9 cm of air (filled in the right handside in the horizontal position) and let h cm of mercury flows out to balance the atmospheric pressure. Then the heights of air column and mercury column are (24 + h) cm and (76 \u2013 h) cm respectively.<\/h3>\n

Question 13. 12. From a certain apparatus, the diffusion rate of hydrogen has an average value of 28.7 cm3s-1. The diffusion of another gas under the same conditions is measured to have an average rate of 7.2 cm3s-1. Identify the gas.<\/h2>\n

Answer:According to Graham\u2019s law of diffusion of gases, the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass.
\nIf R1and R2be the rates of diffusion of two gases having molecular masses M1and M2respectively, then<\/h3>\n

Question 13. 13. A gas in equilibrium has uniform density and pressure throughout its volume. This is strictly true only if there are no external influences. A gas column under gravity, for example, does not have uniform density (and pressure). As you might expect, its density decreases with height. The precise dependence is given by the so-called law of atmospheresn2= n1exp [ \u2013 mg (h2\u2013 h1)\/kBT]
\nwhere n2, n1refer to number density at heights h2and h1respectively. Use this relation to derive the equation for sedimentation equilibrium of a suspension in a liquid column :
\nn2= n1exp [ \u2013 mg NA(\u03c1 \u2013 P) (h2\u2013 h1)\/(\u03c1 RT)] where \u03c1 is the density of the suspended particle, and \u03c1 that of surrounding medium. [NAis Avogadro\u2019s number, and R the universal gas constant.]
\n[Hint: Use Archimedes principle to find the apparent weight of the suspended particle.]<\/h2>\n

Answer:Considering the particles and molecules to be spherical, the weight of the particle is<\/h3>\n

Question 13. 14. Given below are densities of some solids and liquids. Give rough estimates of the size of their atoms<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[Hint: Assume the atoms to be \u2018tightly packed\u2019 in a solid or liquid phase, and use the known value of Avogadro\u2019s number. You should, however, not take the actual numbers you obtain for various atomic sizes too literally. Because of the crudeness of the tight packing approximation, the results only indicate that atomic sizes are in the range of a few A].<\/h2>\n

Answer:In one mole of a substance, there are 6.023 x 1023atoms<\/h3>\n
