Answer»

<P>The work done by the gas is less when it is expanded reversibly from `V_(1)` to `V_(2)` under adiabatic conditions as compared to that when expanded reversibly from `V_(1)` to `V_(2)` under isothermal conditions.
The CHANGE in internak energy of the gas is (i) ZERO, if it is expanded reversibly with `T_(1)=T_(2)` and (ii) Positive, if it is expanded reversibly under adibatic conditions with `T_(1) ne T_(2)`.
If the expansion is carried out freely, it is simultaneously both isothermal as well as adiabatic.

An ideal gas is expanded from (P_(1), V_(1), T_(1)) to (P_(2), V_(2), T_(2)) under different conditions. The correct statement(s) among the following is (are)

Answer»

The work done by the gas is less when it is expanded reversibly from `V_(1)` to `V_(2)` under adiabatic conditions as compared to that when expanded reversibly from `V_(1)` to `V_(2)` under isothermal conditions
The change in internal energy of the gas is (i) zero, if it is expanded reversibly with `T_(1)=T_(2)`, and (ii) positive, if it is expanded reversibly under adiabatic conditions with `T_(1) ne T_(2)`
If the expansion is carried out freely, it is simultaneously both isothermal as well as adiabatic
The work done on the gas is maximum when it is compressed irreversibly from `(P_(2), V_(2))` to `(P_(1), V_(1))` against CONSTANT pressure `P_(1)`

Solution :(a)
AREA under curve in reversible isothermal is more. So, more work will be done by gas.
(b)`T_(1)=T_(2)impliesDeltaU=nC_(v)DeltaT=0`
In reversible adiabatic expansion, `T_(2)ltT_(1)`
`THEREFORE DeltaT=-ve therefore DeltaU=-ve`
(c ) In free expansion,`P_(EXT)=0 therefore W=0`
If carried out isothermally `(DeltaU=0)implies q=0` (Adiabatic), From 1 law
If carried out adiabatically `(q=0)implies DeltaU=0` (Isothermal), From 1 law
(d)
During irreversible compression, maximum work is done on the gas (corresponding to shaded area)

The change in internal energy of the gas is (i) ZERO , if it is expanded reversibly with `T_(1)= T_(2) ` and (ii) positive if it is expaned reversibyunder abiabatic conditions with `T_(1) ne T_(2)`
If the expansion is carried out FREELY, it is simultaneously both isothermal as well as adiabatic

An idealgas (C_(P)//C_(V)=gamma)is expandedso that the amountof heattransferredto thegas theis equalto the decreasein itsinternalenergy .Whatis therelationshipbetweentemperatureand volumeof gasin thisprocess?

Answer»

`T. V^(2(gamma-1))= "constant"`
`T. V^(gamma-1)= "constant"`
`T. V^((gamma-1//2))= "constant"`
`T. V^(gamma)= "constant"`

SOLUTION :`DQ = dU +p dV`
`- dU = dU + pdV`
`- 2n C_(V)DT=(nRT)/(V) d V`
`int(dT)/(T)= (R)/(2C_(V))int(dV)/(V)+ "constant"`
`therefore T V ^(gamma-1)="constant"`

An ideal equimolar binary liquid solution of A and B has a vapour pressure of 900 mm of Hg. It is distilled at a constant temperature till (2)/(3) (i.e 66.67 % ) of the original amount. If themole fraction of A is 0.3 in residue and that of B in condensate 0.4 and also the vapour pressure of residue is 860 mm Hg which of the following is correct ?

Answer»

Mole fraction of A is more than that of B in vapour phase, above residue as well as above condensate.
Vapour pressure of condensate is more than `900 mm Hg` at same temperature.
In vapour pressure of residue, vapours of A are more contributing.
If the solution WOULD be DISTILLED till `50%` of the original amount then mole fraction of B in liquid condensate would be more than that of A in same solution.

Solution :Using Rault's law
`P_(A)^(@) = 1000 mm Hg` and `P_(B)^(0) = 800 mm Hg`
As 'A' is more volatile, hence (A) and (D) are incorrect. In CASE of 'C' `P_(A) = 0.3 xx 1000 = 300 mm Hg`,

`(1)/(3)` atm
1 atm
`1.5` atm

Solution :`NH_(3) (g)`
`N = (PV)/(RT) = (1 XX 22.4)/(0.0821 xx 273 xx 2) = (1)/(2)` MOLE
`HCl (g)`
`n = (PV)/(RT) = (1 xx 44.8)/(0.0821 xx 54.6) = 1` mole
`{:(NH_(3) (g),+,HCl (g),rarr,NH_(4)Cl(s),),((1)/(2),,1,,0,),(0,,(1)/(2),,(1)/(2),):}`

An experiment requires minimum beta-activity produced at the rate of 346 beta-particles per minute. The t_((1)/(2)) " of" ""_(42)^(99)No, which is a beta-emitter, is 66.6 hours. Find the minimum amount of ""_(42)^(99)Mo required to carry out the experiment in 6.909 hours.

Answer»

Solution :`beta` activity `= -(d(N))/(dt)= 346 xx 60 beta`-particles/h
`therefore -(d(N))/(dt)= lamda (N)= (0.6932)/(t_((1)/(2))) xx N`
or `346 xx 60= (0.6932)/(66.6) N`
or `N= 2 xx 10^(6)`
Again, `lamda= (2.303)/(t) "LOG" (N^(0))/(N)`
`therefore (0.6932 )/(66.6) = (2.303)/(6.909) "log" (N^(0))/(N)= (1)/(3) "log" (N^(0))/(N)`
SUBSTITUTING the VALUE of N in the above equation, log `(N^(0))/(N)= (3 xx 0.6932)/(66.6)= 0.0312`
or `(N^(0))/(N)= 1.074`
or `N^(0)= 1.074 xx N = 1.074 xx 2 xx 10^(6)= 2.148 xx 10^(6)`
`therefore` no. of moles of `Mo= (2.148 xx 10^(6))/(6.022 xx 10^(23))= 3.567 xx 10^(-18)`
and wt. of `Mo= (3.567 xx 10^(-18) xx 99)g` (Mo= 99)
`=3.53 xx 10^(-16)g`

Answer»

0.001
0.002
0.003
0.01

Solution :The complex is `[Co(H_(2)O)_(4)Cl_(2)]Cl`. It ionizes as `underset("1 mole")([Cr(H_(2)O)_(4)Cl_(2)])Cl IFF [Cr(H_(2)O)_(4)Cl_(2)]^(+)+underset("1 mole")(Cl^(-))`
