The relation PV=RT can describe the behavior of a real gas at :

  1. high temperature and high pressure

  2. high temperature and low pressure

  3. low temperature and low pressure

  4. low temperature and high pressure


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

PV=RT is ideal gas equation and gases behave ideally only at high temperature and low pressure.
Therefore option(B).

A real gas behaves as an ideal gas :

  1. at very low pressure and high temperature

  2. high pressure and low temperature

  3. high temperature and high pressure

  4. low pressure and low temperature


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Real gas obeys vanderwaals equation 
$\left( p+\dfrac { n^{ 2 }a }{ V^{ 2 } }  \right) \left( V-nb \right) =nRT$
at high temperature and low pressure
Van der waal equation becomes approximately PV=nRT
Hence gases behave ideally at high temperature and low pressure.

The equation of state of a real gas can be expressed as $(P + \dfrac{a}{V _2}) (V - b) = cT$, where P is the pressure, V the volume, T the absolute temperature and a, b, c are constants. What are the dimensions of 'a'-

  1. $M^0 L^3 T^{-2}$

  2. $ M L^{-2} T^5$

  3. $M L^5 T{-2}$

  4. $M^0 L^3 T^0$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$\left( {p + \frac{a}{{{V _2}}}} \right)\left( {v - b} \right) = cT$

$p$ is pressure, $V$ is volume and $T$ is temperature
$\begin{array}{l} p=\frac { F }{ A } =\frac { { ML{ T^{ -2 } } } }{ { { L^{ 2 } } } } =M{ L^{ -1 } }{ T^{ -2 } } \ V={ L^{ 3 } } \end{array}$
We cannot add or subtract quantities of different dimensions.
$\begin{array}{l} \therefore p=\frac { a }{ { { V^{ 2 } } } }  \ \Rightarrow a=\frac { p }{ { { V^{ 2 } } } } =\frac { { M{ L^{ -1 } }{ T^{ -2 } } } }{ { { { \left( { { L^{ 3 } } } \right)  }^{ 2 } } } } =M{ L^{ 5 } }{ T^{ -2 } } \end{array}$
Hence, Option $C$ is correct.

  1. High pressure and high temperature.

  2. Low pressure and low temperature.

  3. High pressure and low temperature.

  4. Low pressure and high temperature.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

At low pressure and high temperature real gas obey PV=RT  i.e. they behave as ideal gas because at high temperature we can assume that there is no force of attraction or repulsion works among the molecules and the volume occupied by the molecules is negligible in comparison to the volume occupied by the gas

1 mole of $SO _2$ occupies a volume of $350 ml$ at $300K$ and $50 atm $ pressure. Calculate the compressibility factor of the gas.

  1. $0.888$

  2. $0.711$

  3. $0.520$

  4. $0.987$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given $P=50 \ atm , \ \ V=350 ml =0.350 \ \ \ litre, \ \ n=1 \ \ mole $ and $ T=300 K$

Now, Compressibility factor $Z= \dfrac{PV}{nRT}$
$\therefore  \ Z= \dfrac{50 \times 0.350}{1 \times 0.082 \times 300}= 0.711$

Work done by a system under isothermal change from a volume $V _1$ to $V _2$ for a gas, which obeys vander Waals equation $(V - \beta n) \displaystyle \left ( P + \dfrac{an^2}{V} \right ) = n RT$ is

  1. $\displaystyle n RT log _e \left ( \dfrac{V _2 - n \beta}{V _1 - n \beta} \right ) + an^2 \left ( \dfrac{V _1 - V _2}{V _1 V _2} \right )$

  2. $\displaystyle n RT log _{10} \left ( \dfrac{V _2 - \alpha \beta}{V _1 - \alpha \beta} \right ) + \alpha n^2 \left ( \dfrac{V _1 - V _2}{V _1 V _2} \right )$

  3. $\displaystyle n RT log _e \left ( \dfrac{V _2 - n \alpha}{V _1 - n \alpha} \right ) + \beta n^2 \left ( \dfrac{V _1 - V _2}{V _1 V _2} \right )$

  4. $\displaystyle n RT log _e \left ( \dfrac{V _2 - n \beta}{V _1 - n \beta} \right ) + \alpha^2 \left ( \dfrac{V _1 V _2}{V _1- V _2} \right )$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Given Vander Waals equation $(V - \beta n)$ ($P$ $+$ $\dfrac {a{n}^{2}} {{V}^{2}}$) $=$ $nRT$
Work done by the system($W$) = $-$ $\int _{{V} _{1}}^{{V} _{2}} {PdV}$
                                           $=$ $\int _{{V} _{2}}^{{V} _{1}} {PdV}$
From the Vander Waals equation:
$P$ $=$ $\dfrac {nRT} {(V - \beta n)}$ $-$ $\dfrac {a{n}^2} {{V}^{2}}$
Substituting $'P'$ in the Work done, we get
$W$ $=$ $\int _{{V} _{2}}^{{V} _{1}}$ ($\dfrac {nRT} {(V - \beta n)}$ $-$ $\dfrac {a{n}^2} {{V}^{2}}$) $dV$
By integrating we get,
$W$ $=$ $[$ $nRT$ $\log _{e}{(V - \beta n)}$ $-$ ($(-)\dfrac {a{n}^{2}} {V}$) ] $ _{{V} _{2} \rightarrow {V} _{1}}$
$W$ $=$ $nRT$ $\log _{e}{}$ $($$\dfrac { {V} _{2} - \beta n} {{V} _{1} - \beta n} $ $)$ $+$ $a{n}^{2}$$($ $\dfrac {{V} _{1} - {V} _{2}} { {V} _{1}{V} _{2}}$ $)$
Hence, the Correct Option is $'A'$.

An ideal gas is at a temperature  $T$  having molecules each of mass  $m .$  If  $k$  is the Boltzmann's constant and  $2 \mathrm { kT } / \mathrm { m } = 1.40 \times 10 ^ { 5 } \mathrm { m } ^ { 2 } / \mathrm { s } ^ { 2 } .$  Find the percentage of the fraction of molecules whose speed lie in the range  $324\mathrm { m } / \mathrm { s }$  to  $326\mathrm { m } / \mathrm { s } .$

  1. $0.52 \%$

  2. $0.43 \%$

  3. $0.21 \%$

  4. $0.14 \%$


Correct Option: A

In Vander Waal's equation the critical $P _{c}$ is given by

  1. 3b

  2. $\displaystyle\ \frac{a}{27b^{2}}$

  3. $\displaystyle\ \frac{27a}{b^{2}}$

  4. $\displaystyle\ \frac{b^{2}}{a}$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The Vander Wall's equation of state is 
$\left(P+ \displaystyle\ \frac{a}{V^{2}}\right)$ $(V-b)$ = $RT$
$P = \displaystyle\ \frac{RT} {V-b} -\displaystyle\ \frac{a}{V^{2}}$
At the critical point, 
$P = P _{C}, V= V _{C}$ and $T= T _{C}$ 
$\therefore P _{C} = \displaystyle\ \frac{RT _{C}}{V _{C}-b} - \frac{a}{V _{C}^{2}}$ .......(i)
At the critical point on the isothermal,
$\displaystyle\ \frac{dP _{C}}{dV _{C}} = 0$
$\therefore 0 = \displaystyle\ \frac{-RT _{C}}{(V _{C}-b)^{2}} + \frac{1a}{V _{C}^{3}}$
$\displaystyle\ \frac{RT _{C}}{(V _{C}-b)^{2}} = \displaystyle\ \frac{2a}{V _{C}^{3}}$ .... (ii)
Also at critical point,
$\displaystyle\ \frac{d^{2}P _{C}}{dV _{C}^{2}} = 0$
$0 = \displaystyle\ \frac{2RT}{(V _{C}-b)^{3}}- \frac{6a}{V _{C}^{4}}$
$\displaystyle\ \frac{2RT _{C}}{(V _{C-b})^{3}}$ = $\displaystyle\ \frac{5a}{V _{C}^{4}}$ ....(iii)
Dividing (ii) by (iii) we get
$\displaystyle\ \frac{1}{2}(V _{C}-b)$ = $\displaystyle\ \frac{1}{3} V _{C}$
$V _{C} = 3b$ ..... (iv)
Putting this value in (ii), we get 
$\displaystyle\ \frac{RT _{C}}{4b^{2}} = \displaystyle\ \frac{2a}{27{b}^{3}}$
$T _{C} = \displaystyle\ \frac{8a}{27bR}$ .......(v)
Putting the value of $V _{C}$ and $T _{C}$ in (i), we get 
$P _{C}$ = $\displaystyle\ \frac{R}{2b}\left(\frac{8a}{27bR}\right)$ = $\displaystyle\ \frac{a}{9b^{2}}$
$= \displaystyle\ \frac{a}{27b^{2}}$

The temperature of an ideal gas at atmospheric pressure is 300K and volume $lm^3$.If temperature and volume become double, then pressure will be

  1. $10^5 N/m^2$

  2. $2\times 10^5 N/m^2$

  3. $0.5\times 10^5 N/m^2$

  4. $4\times 10^5 N/m^2$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\begin{array}{l} \dfrac { { { P _{ 1 } }{ V _{ 1 } } } }{ { { T _{ 1 } } } } =\dfrac { { { P _{ 2 } }{ V _{ 2 } } } }{ { { T _{ 2 } } } }  \ \Rightarrow \dfrac { { { { 10 }^{ 5 } }\times \left( { 1{ m^{ 3 } } } \right)  } }{ { 300K } } =\dfrac { { P\left( 2 \right)  } }{ { 600 } }  \ \Rightarrow P={ 10^{ 5 } }N/{ m^{ 2 } } \ Hence, \ option\, \, A\, \, is\, correct\, \, answer. \end{array}$

Assertion: Real gases do not obey the ideal gas equation.

Reason: In the ideal gas equation, the volume occupied by the molecules as well as the inter molecular forces are ignored.

  1. Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are correct and R gives the correct explanation

  2. Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are correct but R doesnt give the correct explanation

  3. A is true but R is false

  4. A is false but R is true


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The ideal gas law treats the molecules of a gas as point particles with  perfectly elastic collisions. This works well for dilute gases in many experimental circumstances. But gas molecules are not point masses, and there are circumstances where the properties of the molecules have an experimentally measurable effect.

In the year 1984, the Bhopal gas tragedy was caused by the leakage of

  1. Carbon monoxide

  2. Methyl isocyanate

  3. Nitrogen oxide

  4. Sulphur oxide

A real gas can be approximated to an ideal gas at

  1. Low density

  2. High pressure

  3. High density

  4. Low temperature


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Real gas can be approximated as ideal gas when the pressure is low and the temperature is high
This means that per unit volume, there are less number of gas molecules because there is less force (pressure) and there is more energy (temperature), so the molecules will tend to move apart
So, density will be low.

If N be the Avogardo's number and R be the gas constant , then Boltzmann constant id given by 

  1. RN

  2. R/N

  3. N/R

  4. I/RN


Correct Option: B

Real gases approaches ideal gas at high temperature and low pressure because

$A$.   Inter atomic separation is large 

$B$.   Size of the molecule is negligible when compared to inter atomic separation 

  1. a & b are true

  2. only a is true

  3. only b is true

  4. a & b are false


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Generally, a gas behaves more like an ideal gas at higher temperature and lower pressure as the forces against intermolecular forces becomes less significant compared to the particles' kinetic energy, and the size of the molecules becomes less significant compared to the empty space between them.

A sample of an ideal gas occupies a volume V at a pressure P and absolute temperature T, the mass of each molecule is m. The expression for the density of gas is (k= Boltzmann's constant)

  1. $mkT$

  2. $P/kT$

  3. $P/kTV$

  4. $Pm/kT$


Correct Option: D

The equation of state of n moles of a non-ideal gas can be approximated by the equation 
$ (P + \dfrac{an^2}{V^2})(V -nb) = nRT $ 
where a and b are constants characteristics of the gas. Which of the following can represent the equation of a quasistatic adiabat for this gas (Assume that $C _V$ , the molar heat capacity at constant volume, is independent of temperature) ?

  1. $T(V-nb)^{R/C _v}=$ constant

  2. $T(V-nb)^{C _v/R}=$ constant

  3. $ \begin {pmatrix} T + \frac {ab}{V^2R} \end{pmatrix} (V-nb)^{R/C _v} = $ constant

  4. $ \begin {pmatrix} T + \frac {n^2 ab}{V^2R} \end{pmatrix} (V-nb)^{C _v/R} = $ constant


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

For  a reversible adiabatic process, we have $dS = 0$ (Entropy change = 0)


The entropy equation is $TdS = nC _VdT+T(\frac{\partial P}{\partial T}) _VdV$

From the non-ideal gas equation, $(P+\frac{an^2}{V^2})(V-nb)=nRT$
$(\frac{\partial P}{\partial T}) _V=\frac{nR}{V-nb}$

for $dS = 0$, we have
$nC _VdT = -T(\frac{\partial P}{\partial T}) _VdV=-nRT\frac{dV}{V-nb}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{dT}{T} = -\frac{nR}{C _V}\frac{dV}{V-nb}$
$\Rightarrow ln(\frac{T}{T _0})=-\frac{R}{C _V} ln(\frac{V-nb}{V _0-nb})$

$\Rightarrow T(V-nb)^{\frac{R}{C _V}}=T _0(V _0-nb)^{\frac{R}{C _V}}$

i.e., $T(V-nb)^{\frac{R}{C _V}} = \textrm{constant}$

The size of container B is double that of A and gas in B is at double the temperature and pressure than that in A. The ratio of molecules in the two containers will then be -

  2. $\frac{N _B}{N _A} = \frac{2}{1}$

  3. $\frac{N _B}{N _A} = \frac{4}{1}$

  4. $\frac{N _B}{N _A} = \frac{1}{2}$

For gaseous decomposition of ${PCI} _{5}$ in a closed vessel the degree of dissociation '$\alpha $', equilibrium pressure 'P' & ${'K} _{p}'$ are related as

  1. $\ \alpha =\sqrt { \frac { { K } _{ p } }{ P } } $

  2. $\ \alpha =\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { { K } _{ p }+P } } $

  3. $\ \alpha =\sqrt { \frac { { K } _{ p }+P }{ { K } _{ p } } } $

  4. $\alpha =\sqrt { { K } _{ p }+P } $


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

${  \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad PCl } _{ 5 }\rightleftharpoons { PCl } _{ 3(9) }+{ Cl } _{ 2(9) }\\ Initial\quad mole\quad \quad \quad 1\quad  \quad 0\quad\quad\quad 0\\ After\quad mole\quad \quad 1-\alpha \quad \quad  \alpha \quad\quad  \alpha \\ decomposition$

Total mole$=1-\alpha+\alpha+\alpha\\=1+\alpha$

Total pressure$=P$

Partial pressure of $PCl _5=P(\cfrac{1-\alpha}{1+\alpha})$

PArtial pressure of $PCl _3=P(\cfrac{\alpha}{1+\alpha})$

Partial pressure of $PCl _2=P(\cfrac{\alpha}{1+\alpha})$

Then $K _p=\cfrac{(PCl _3)(Cl _2)}{(PCl _5)}\\ \quad=\cfrac{P(\cfrac{\alpha}{1+\alpha})P(\cfrac{\alpha}{1+\alpha})}{P(\cfrac{1-\alpha}{1+\alpha})}\\ \quad=\cfrac{P^2\alpha^2}{(1+\alpha)^2}\times\cfrac{(1+\alpha)}{P(1-\alpha)}\\K _p=\cfrac{P\alpha^2}{1-\alpha^2}$

now, $1-\alpha^2<<1$

so that $K _p=P\alpha^2\\ \alpha^2=\cfrac{K _p}{P}\\ \alpha=\sqrt{\cfrac{K _p}{P}}$

 

If pressure of ${CO} _{2}$ (real gas) in a container is given by $P=\cfrac { RT }{ 2V-b } -\cfrac { a }{ 4{ b }^{ 2 } } $, then mass of the gas in container is:

  1. $11g$

  2. $22g$

  3. $33g$

  4. $44g$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

According to Van Der waal's equation for $n$ mole of real gas 


$\bigg( P +\dfrac{n^2 a}{V^2}\bigg)(V- nb)=nRT\implies P=\dfrac{nRT}{V-nb}-\dfrac{n^2a}{V^2}$

Given that Pressure of $CO _2$ gas in a contaner is given by:
$P= \dfrac{RT}{2V-b}-\dfrac{a}{4b^2}$

Compairing it with the standard Van der waal's equation we get :
$n=\dfrac12$

Therefore, Number of moles in a container , $n=\dfrac12$
Molar mass of $CO _2= 44\ gm$
Mass of gas in the container, $m= \dfrac12\times 44 =22 gm$
