Q1.

Molar volume is the volume occupied by 1 mol of any (ideal) gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP : 1 atmospheric pressure, 0 C). The value of Molar volume is


Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

PV=nRT

V=nRTP=1×8.31×2731.01×105=0.02224m3=22.4lit

Q2. Figure shows plot of PV/T versus P for 1.00×kg of oxygen gas at two different temperatures The dotted plot corresponds to

Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

for 1 mole of ideal gas, according to ideal gas equation


hence graph must be with zero slope. So that dotted line show ‘ideal’ gas behavior and curved line shows deviation from ‘ideal’ gas behavior


Q3. Figure shows plot of PV/T versus P for 1.00× kg of oxygen gas at two different temperatures. Comparing and 

Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

for 1 mole of ideal gas, according to ideal gas equation

.

hence graph must be with zero slope. So that dotted line show ‘ideal’ gas behavior and curved line shows deviation from ‘ideal’ gas behavior

A real gas behave as ideal gas at high temperature. Temperature Tis close to dotted line. 

so that  > 

 


Q4.

Estimate the total number of air molecules (inclusive of oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor and other constituents) in a room of capacity 25.0  at a temperature of 27 C and 1 atm pressure.


Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

PV=NkTN=PVkT=1.01×105×251.38×1023×300=6.1×1026
Q5. Estimate the average thermal energy of a helium atom at room temperature (27 C)
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

k = boltzman constant


Q6. Estimate the average thermal energy of a helium atom at the temperature on the surface of the Sun (6000 K)
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:


k = boltzman constant


Q7. Estimate the average thermal energy of a helium atom the temperature of 10 million Kelvin (the typical core temperature in the case of a star).
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:


k = boltzman constant


Q8. Three vessels of equal capacity have gases at the same temperature and pressure. The first vessel contains neon (monatomic), the second contains chlorine (diatomic), and the third contains uranium hexafluoride (polyatomic). The number of molecules
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Avogadro's law states that, "equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules".

Q9.

Three vessels of equal capacity have gases at the same temperature and pressure. The first vessel contains neon (monatomic), the second contains chlorine (diatomic), and the third contains uranium hexafluoride (polyatomic). In which case is  the largest?


Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:



Neon has smaller molecular wt in comparision to chlorine and  uranium hexafluoride. So that  is largest for neon.


Q10.

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 ? (Atomic mass of Ar = 39.9 u, of He = 4.0 u).


Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

vAr=vHe3RT39.9=3R×2534T=39.9×2534=2.52×103K
