According to Boyle’s law V ∝ 1P if n and T are constant.
According to Charles’ law V ∝ T at constant P.and n
According to Avogadro’s law V ∝ n at constant T and P
Combining the three laws
In
V ∝ TnP
or
PV ∝ nT
or
PV = nRT where R is a constant of proportionality called universal gas constant.

Question 7.
Why liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape?
Answer:
It is due to the fact that in liquids intermolecular forces are strong enough to hold the molecules together, but these are strong enough to hold the molecules together, but these forces are not strong enough to fix them into definite or concrete positions as in solids. Hence they possess fluidity but no definite shape.

Question 8.
How do the real gases deviate from ideality above and below the Boyle point?
Answer:
Above their Boyle point, real gases show positive deviations from ideality and the values of Z are greater than one. The forces of attraction between the molecules are very feeble. Below the Boyle point, real gases first show a decrease, in Z value with increasing pressure, the value Of Z increases continuously.

Question 9.
Write down the van der Waals, equation for n moles of a real gas. What do the constants ‘a’ and ‘b’ stand for?
Answer:
(P + an2V2) (V – nb) = nRT
where p, Vindicate gas pressure and its volume. T is the Kelvin temperature of the gas. R is gas constant. Value of ‘a’ is a measure of the magnitude of intermolecular attractive forces within the molecule and is independent of temperature and pressure, ‘rib’ is approximately the total volume occupied by the molecules themselves. ‘a’ and ‘b’ are called van der Waals constants and their value depends upon the nature of the gas.

Question 10.
How is compressibility factor Z related to the real and ideal volume of the gas?
Answer:
Z = P Vreal nRT …(1)

If the gas shows ideal behaviour, then
Videal = nRTP ….(2)

On putting the titis value of nRT in equation (1), we get
Z = Vreal Videal

Thus the compressibility factor Z is the ratio of the actual molar volume of a gas to the molar volume of it. if it were an ideal gas at that temperature and pressure.

Question 11.
What do the critical temperature, critical pressure, and critical volume for a gas stand for?
Answer:
The critical temperature is the temperature above which a gas cannot be liquified however large may be the pressure applied on it. The pressure sufficient to liquiíy a gas at its critical temperature is called its critical pressure. The volume of the gas at its crìtical temperature is called its critical volume’.

Question 12.
What do the absolute zero and absolute scale of temperature stand for?
Answer:
The lowest possible hypothetical temperature of – 273°C at which gas is supposed to have zero volume is called Absolute! zero.

Lord Kelvin suggested a new scale of temperature starting with – 273°C and it’s zero. This scale of temperature is called the absolute scale of temperature.

Absolute or Kelvin temperature is given by T, where
T = t°C + 273
t°C stands for the centigrade scale of temperature.

Question 13.
Give one application of Dalton’s law of partial pressures.
Answer:
One application of Dalton’s law of partial pressures is in determining the/pressure of dry gas. Gases are generally collected over water and, so they contain water vapours. The pressure exerted by the water Vapours at-a particular temperature is called the Aqueous Tension. By subtracting the aqueous tension from the ‘ vapour pressure of the moist gas, the pressure of the dry gas can be calculated.
Pdry gas= Pmoist gas – Aqueous Tension (at t°C).

Question 14.
How will you calculate the partial pressure of gas using Dalton’s Law of partial pressures?
Answer:
In a mixture of non-reacting gases A, B, C etc., if each gas is considered to be an ideal gas, then
PA = nA RTV
PB = nB RTV
PC = nC RTV
where nA, nB nC stand for their respective moles in the same vessel .
[V = constant, keeping T constant]
Then according to Dalton’s law ‘

Thus, particle pressure of a. gas – Mole fraction of A × Total pressure.

Question 15.
Is there any effect of the nature of a liquid and temperature on the surface tension of a liquid?
Answer:

Effect of nature of the liquid: Surface tension is a property that arises due to the intermolecular forces of attraction among the molecules of the liquid.
The surface tension of the liquids generally decreases with an increase in temperature and becomes zero at the critical temperature.

Question 16.

Each line obtained by plotting volume against temperature keeping, pressure constant is called an Isobar.

Question 20.
What are the forces which are responsible for the viscosity of a liquid? Why is glycerol more viscous than water?
Answer:
The forces responsible for the viscosity of the liquids are

Hydrogen bonding
van der Waals torches.

Glycerol possesses greater viscosity than water because glycerol has extensive hydrogen bonding in its molecules due to the pressure of three-Oil groups in it as compared to the hydrogen bonding in water molecules.

Question 1.
Derive the Ideal gas equation PV = nRT.
Answer:
Let a certain mass of a gas at pressure P1 and temperature
T1 occupy a volume V1. On changing the pressure and temperature respectively to P2 and T2, let the volume of the gas change to V2.
(i) Let us first change the pressure P1 to P2 at constant temperature T1. Then, according to Boyle’s law, volume V is given by,
P2V = P1V1
or
V = P1V1P2 …(1)

(ii) Now keeping the pressure constant at P2, heat the gas from temperature T1 to T2, the volume changes from V to V2.
By Charle’s Law, we must have,

The numerical value of k depends upon the amount of gas and the units in which P and V are expressed. By Avogadro’s law, for one mole of any gas, the value of PVT will be the same and is represented
PVT = R
or
PV = RT.
for n moles of an ideal gas
PV = nRT

Question 2.
State the fundamental assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases
Or
What are the postulates of the kinetic theory of gases?
Or
Write a short note on “Microscopic Model of a gas”.
Answer:
To explain the general properties of gases to provide some theoretical explanation for various gas laws (stated on basis of experimental studies), various, scientists Bernoulli, Clausius, Maxwells, Boltzmann and others, gave ‘Kinetic Theory of Gases’ which explains qualitatively as well as quantitatively the various aspects of gas behaviour.

The important postulates of the theory are:

All gases are made up of a very large number of minutes particles called molecules.
The molecules are separated from one another by large distances. The empty spaces among the molecules are so large that the actual volume of the molecules is negligible as compared to the total volume of the gas.
The molecules are in a state of constant rapid motion in all directions. During their motion, they keep on colliding with one another and. also with the walls of the container and, thus, change their directions.
Molecular collisions are perfectly elastic, no loss of energy occurs when the molecules collide with one another or with the walls of the container. However, there may be. redistribution of energy during the collisions.
There are no forces of interaction (attractive or repulsive) between molecules. They move completely independent of one another.
The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the bombardment of its molecules on the walls of the container per unit area.
The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

Question 3.
Explain the following observations.
(a) Aerated water bottles are kept underwater during summer.
Answer:
Aerated water contains CO2 gas dissolved in an aqueous solution under pressure and the bottles are well stoppered. As in summer temperature increases and we know that the solubility of the gases decreases with increase in temperature and as a result move of gas is expected to be generated may be large in quantity and hence pressure exerted by the gas may be very high and the bottle may explode. So, to decrease the temperature and hence to avoid explosion of the bottles.

(b) Liquid ammonia bottle is cooled before opening the seal.
Answer:
Liquid ammonia bottle contains the gas under very high pressure. If the bottle is opened as such, then the sudden decrease in pressure will lead to a large increase in the volume of the gas. As a result, the gas will come out of the bottle with force. This will lead to the breakage of the bottle. Cooling under tap water will result in a decrease in volume. It reduces the chances of an accident.

(c) The tyre of an automobile is inflated at lesser pressure in summer than in winter.
Answer:
The pressure of the air is directly proportional to the temperature. During summer due to high temperature, the pressure in the tyre will be high as compared to that in water. The tube may burst under high pressure in summer. Therefore, it is advisable to inflate the tyre to lesser pressure in summer than in winter.

(d) The size of the weather balloon becomes larger and larger as it ascends up to higher altitudes.
Answer:
Answered somewhere else in the book.

Then mol% of CO? in the mixture = 100 – x

Average molecular mass

Question 21.
A 5-L vessel contains 14 g of nitrogen. When heated to 1800 K, 30% of molecules are dissociated into atoms. Calculate the pressure of the gas at 1800 K.
Answer:
N2 ⇌ 2N

Initial moles = 1.428 = 0.05
Moles left = 0.05 – 30100 × 0.05 = 2 × 0.015 = 0.03

∴ Total no. of moles = 0.035 + 0.030 = 0.065
i.e. n = 0.065 mol, V = 5 L, T = 1800 K; P =?
P = nRTV=0.065×0.0821×18005
= 1.92 atm.

Question 22.
Calculate the temperature of 2 moles of S02 gas contained in a 5 L vessel at 10 bar pressure. Given that for SO2 gas van der Waal’s constant is a – 6.7 bar L2 mol-2 and b = 0.0564 L mol-1.
Answer:
According to van der Waal’s equation

Question 23.
A given mass of a gas occupies 919.0 mL in a dry state at STP. The same mass when collected over water at 15°C and 750 mm pressure occupies on litre volume. Calculate the vapour pressure of water at 15°C.
Answer:
If p is the vapour pressure of water at 15°C, then P2 = 750 – p
From the gas equation P1V1T1=P2V2T2, we get
760×919273=(750−p)×1000288
or
p = 13.3 mm

∴ Vapour pr. of water = 13.3 mm.

Question 24.
A steel tank containing air at 15 atm pressure at 15°C ¡s provided with a safety valve that will yield at a pressure of 30 atm. To what minimum temperature must the air be heated to below the safety valve?
Answer:
P1P2=T1T2
i.e., 1530=288 T2
or
T2 = 576 K
or
t2°C = 576 – 273 = 303°C

Question 25.
Calculate the pressure exerted by 110 g of CO2 in a vessel of 2 L capacity at 37°C. Given that the van der Waals constants are a = 3.59 L2 atm mol-2 and b = 0.0427 L mol-1. Compare the value with the calculated value if the gas were considered ideal.
Answer:
According to van der Waals equation

110
Here, n = 11044 = 2.5 moles. Putting the given values, we get
P = 2.5×0.0821×310(2−2.5×0.0427)−3.59×2.52
= 33.61 atm – 5.61 atm = 28.0 atm
