2. The ideal gas equation is pV = nRT where p = pressure, V = volume, n = number of moles, R = universal gas constant and T = absolute temperature.

3. According to Boyle’s law:
V ∝ \(\frac{1}{p}\) at constant T and n.
According to Charles’ law:
V ∝ T. at constant n and p.
According to Avogadro law,
V ∝ n , at constant p and T Combining the above three equations,
V ∝ \(\frac{nT}{p}\)
⇒ V = R\(\frac{nT}{p}\), where R is the proportionality constant known as universal gas constant.
Or pV = nRT, the ideal gas equation.

2.

• The volume of a gas molecule is negligible when compared to the whole volume of the gas.
• There is no force of attraction between the particles of a gas at ordinary temperature and pressure.
• The gas molecules are in random motion.
• During motion, they collide with each other and also with the walls of the container.
• Gravity has no influence in the movement of gas molecules.
• Pressure of a gas is due to the collision of gas molecules with the walls of the container.
• At any particular time, different particles in the gas have different speeds and hence different kinetic energies.

1. Do you agree?
2. Explain.
3. Substantiate your answer with an example.

Answer:
1. Yes.

2. According to Graham’s law of diffusion the rate of diffusion depends only on the molecular mass. So if the molecular masses are the same, their rate of diffusion is same.

3. Both CO and N₂ have the same molecular mass (28 g mol^-1)
Rate of diffusion of CO = Rate of diffusion of N₂

Question 12.
Water can be boiled more quickly on the top of a mountain.

1. Do you agree?
2. What is the reason?
3. What is called boiling point of a liquid?
4. How normal boiling point and standard boiling point differ?

Answer:
1. Yes.

2. As we move to the top of a mountain atmospheric pressure decreases and hence boiling point decreases. So water boils quickly.

3. Boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure or atmospheric pressure.

4. The boiling point at 1 atm pressure is called normal boiling point. The boiling point at 1 bar pressure is called standard boiling point.

Question 13.
Ethanol flows faster than honey.

1. Name the related phenomenon.
2. Explain this phenomenon.
3. What is the effect of temperature on this?

Answer:
1. Viscosity.

2. Viscosity is a measure of resistance to flow which arises due to the internal friction between layers of fluid as they slip past one another while liquid flows.

3. Viscosity of liquids decreases as the temperature rises because at high temperature molecules have high kinetic energy and can overcome the intermolecular forces to slip past one another between the layers.

Question 14.
Liquid drops attain spherical shape.

1. Which property of liquids is responsible for this?
2. Explain the phenomenon and justify.
3. Suggest another consequence of this phenomenon.

Answer:
1. Surface tension.

2. Surface tension is defined as the force acting per unit length perpendicular to the line drawn on the surface of liquid. The lowest energy state of the liquid will be when surface area is minimum. Spherical shape satisfies this condition.

3. Fire polishing of glass – On heating, the glass melts and the surface of the liquid tends to take the rounded shape at the edges due to surface tension, which makes the edges smooth.

Question 15.
Vapour pressure is an important property of liquids.

1. What is vapour pressure?
2. How boiling point and vapour pressure are related?
3. Pressure cooker is used for cooking food at higher altitudes. Give reason.

Answer:
1. Vapour pressure of a liquid is the pressure exerted by the vapour which is in equilibrium with liquid at a given temperature.

2. Boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure. Thus, lower the vapour pressure of a liquid higher will be its boiling point and vice-versa.

3. At high altitudes atmospheric pressure is low. Therefore, liquids at high altitudes boil at lower temperatures in comparison to that at sea level. In a pressure cooker, the internal pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure. Hence, in a pressure cooker water boils at a temperature higher than its normal boiling point of 100 °C. Thus, cooking becomes more effective.

Question 16.
Assume that ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ are three non-reacting gases kept in a vessel at a constant temperature.
Then, P_Total= P_A + P_B + P_C
1. Name the related law.
2. How can you explain the above law on the basis of kinetic molecular theory of gases?
Answer:
1. Dalton’s law of partial pressures.

2. In the absence of attractive forces, the particles of the gas behave independent of one another. The same is true even if there are more than one type of molecules. Thus, the number of molecules colloding the unit area of the wall per second at a given temperature, fora fixed amount of the gas issame.lt implies that the partial pressure of the gas will be unaffected by the presence of the molecules of other gases. But, the total pressure exerted is duet the impact of molecules of all the gases. Hence, the total pressure would be the sum of the partial pressures of the gases.

Question 17.
1. Write the general equation which relates the different variables of a gas used to describe the state of any ideal gas.
2. A flask at 295 K contains a gaseous mixture of N₂ and O₂ at a total pressure of 1.8 atm. If 0.2 moels of N₂ and 0.6 moles of O₂ are present, find the partial pressures of N₂ and O₂.
3. What is meant by Boyle temperature or Boyle point?
Answer:
1. PV = nRT
2.

3. It is the temperature at which a real gas obeys ideal gas law over an appreciable range of pressure.

Question 18.
1. Liquid tries to rise or fall in the capillary. Name the related phenomenon.
2. What is the effect of temperature on the above phenomenon?
3. WhatistheSI unit of the above phenomenon.
Answer:
1. Surface tension.

2. The magnitude of surface tension of a liquid depends on the attractive forces between the molecules. When the attractive forces are large, the surface tension is large. Increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules and effectiveness of intermolecular attraction decreases, so surface tension decreases as the temperature is raised.

3. N m^-1.

Question 19.
1. Define critical temperature (T_c ).
2. CO₂ cannot be liquified above 31.1°C. Why?
3. The critical temperatures of ammonia and carbon dioxide are 405.5 Kand 304.10 K respectively. On cooling, which of these gases will liquify first? Justify.
Answer:
1. It is the highest temperature at which a gas can
be liquified by applying external pressure.

2. The critical temperature (T_c ) of CO₂ is 30.98°C. This is the highest temperature at which liquid CO₂ is observed. Above this temperature it is gas.

3. Ammonia. This is because, on cooling, critical temperature of ammonia will be reached first. Liquefaction of carbon dioxide will require more cooling.

Question 20.
a) Will water boils at higher temperature at sea level or at top of a mountain. Explain.
b) A vessel of 120 mL capacity contains a certain amount of gas at 35 °C and 1.2 bar pressure. The gas is transferred to another vessel of volume 180 mL at 35 °C. What would be its pressure?
Answer:
a) When atmospheric pressure decreases boiling point of the liquid also decreases. So the boiling point of water at sea level is not same as that at the top of a mountain. Atmospheric pressure decreases from sea level as we go high. Hence, the boiling point at the top of the mountain is less than that at sea level.

Question 21.
Real gases deviate from ideal behaviour.
1. What are the two wrong postulates of kinetic theory of gases, responsible for deviation of real gases from ideal behaviour?.
2. When do real gases deviate from ideal behaviour?
Answer:
1.

• Volume of the molecules of a gas is negligibly small in comparison to the space occupied by the gas.
• There is no force of attraction between the molecules of a gas.

2. Real gases deviate from ideal behaviour at high pressure and low temperature, when the gas molecules are very close to each other.

Question 24.
1. How will you account for the observation that automobile tyre is inflated with lesser air in summer than in winter?
2. A sample of gas occupies 250 mLat27 °C. What volume will it occupy at 35 °C if there is no change in pressure?
Answer:
1. This can be explained on the basis of Gay Lussac’s law, according to which at constant volume, pressure of a fixed amount of a gas varies directly with the temperature. In summer season the temperature will be higher. Hence, pressure will increase and the tyre may burst if filled with more air. But during winter temperature is low and hence pressure will below.

2. According to Charles’ law,

Question 25.
Real gases behave ideally at low temperature and high pressure.

1. Is the above statement correct or not?
2. Justify.
3. Write the van der Waals’ equation for 1 mole of a real gas.

Answer:
1. The statement is wrong.

2. This is because real gases behave ideally at high temperature and low pressure, when the gas molecules are far apart.

3. \(\left(p+\frac{a}{V^{2}}\right)\)(V – b) = RT

Question 26.
1. Distinguish between real gas and ideal gas.
2. Explain the deviation of the following gases from ideal behaviouron the basis of the pV vs. p plot. CO, CH₄, H₂ and He.
Answer:
1. Real gas do not follow, Boyle’s law, Charles law, and Avagadro law perfectly under all conditions. Ideal gas follow, Boyle’s law, Charles’ Law and Avagadro law strictly under all conditions.

2.

It can be seen that at constant temperature pV vs p plots for these gases are not straight lines. Two types of curves are seen. In the curves for H₂ and He, as the pressure increases the value of pV also increases. These gases show positive deviation from ideal behaviour at all pressures. The second type of plot is seen in the case of CO and CH₄. For these gases the pV value decreases with increase in pressure and reaches to a minimum value characteristics of the gas. After that PV value starts increasing. The curve then crosses the line for ideal gas and after that shows positive deviation continuously.

Question 27.
1. What is meant by laminar flow?
2. Derive the expression for the force responsible for flow of layers of a liquid.
Answer:
1. When a liquid flows overa fixed surface, the layer of molecules in the immediate contact of surface is stationary. The velocity of upper layers increases as the distance of layers from the fixed layer increases. This type of flow in which there is a regular gradation of velocity in passing from one layer to the next is called laminar flow.

2. Consider three layers of a flowing liquid as shown below:

For any layer, the layer above it accelerates its flow and the layer below this retards its flow. If the velocity of the layer at a distance dz is changed by a value du then velocity gradient is given by \(\frac{du}{dz}\). A force is required to maintain the
flow of layers. This force is proportional to the area of contact (A) of layers and velocity gradient.

where η is a proportionality constant called coefficient of viscosity.

Question 28.
1. What are London forces?
2. What is the relation between London forces and the distance between the particles?
Answer:
1. The attractive force between two temporary dipoles is known as London forces or Dispersion forces.

2. London forces are always attractive and the interaction energy is inversely proportional to the sixth power of the distance between two interacting particles.

Question 29.
1. What is meant by thermal energy and thermal motion?
2. Can oxygen exist as a gas at -273.15°C? Write the significance of this temperature.
Answer:
1. Thermal energy is the energy of a body arising from motion of its atoms or molecules. The movement of particles due to thermal energy is called thermal motion.

2. At – 273.15 °C oxygen will not exist as a gas. In fact all the gases get liquified before this temperature is reached. It is the absolute zero of temperature, which is the lowest hypothetical or imaginary temperature at which gases are supposed to occupy zero volume.

Question 30.
Molecues of a gas are in a state of continuous motion
1. What is most probable speed?
2. Give the equation for average speed of molecules.
Answer:

2. Give the mathematical expression of this law.
3. What is the value of molar volume of an ideal gas at 273.15 K and 1 bar?
4. Show that, at constant temperature and pressure, the density of an ideal gas is proportional to its molar volume.
Answer:
1. It states that equal volumes of all gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure contain equal number of molecules.

2. v ∝ n (at constant P and T)
⇒ V = k × n where k is a proportionality constant.

3. 22.71098 L

4. According to Avogadro law, for n moles of an ideal gas,
V = k × n
But n = \(\frac{m}{M}\) where m is the mass of the gas and M is its molar mass.
Thus, V = k × \(\frac{m}{M}\)
On rearranging the above equation,
M = k × \(\frac{m}{V}\) = k × d

Answer:
1. Root mean square speed, average speed and the most probable speed have the following relationship:
U_rms > U_av > U_mp
2.

3. N₂. This is because at the same temperature, gas molecules with heavier mass have slower speed than lighter gas molecules. At the same temperature, lighter nitrogen molecules move faster than heavier chlorine molecules. Hence, at any given temperature, nitrogen molecules have higher value of most probable speed than the chlorine molecules.
