What would the molecular of a gas have to be if the pressure of the gas is to fall one-half of its value in a vertical of a 1 metre ? (T = 25^(@)C). What type of molecules have molecular weight of this magnitude ?

Answer»

Solution :We have,
`2.303 log""(p)/(p_(0) = -(Mgh)/(RT)`
p = p(suppose)
`p_(0) = 2P`
`g = 981 cm//s^(2)`
h = 100 cm
`R = 8.314 xx 10^(7) erg. K^(-1)"mole"^(-1)`
`T = 25 + 273 = 298 K`.
`therefore 2.303 log""(P)/(2P) = (M xx 981 xx 100)/(8.314 xx 10^(7) xx 298)`
M = 17500
Molecules with such a high value of molecular weight must be those of a polymer.
