One of the approach to the study of real gases involves the analysis of a parameter Z called the compressibility factor Z=(PV_(m))/(RT) where P is pressure, V_(m) is molar volume, T isabsolute temperature and R is the universal gas constant . Such a relation can also be expressed as Z =((V_("m real"))/(V_("m ideal")))(where V_("m ideal ") and V_("m real") are the molar volume for ideal and real gas respectively) . Gas corresponding Z gt 1 have repluive tendenciesamong constituent particles due to their size factor, among constitutent particles . As the pressure is lowered or temperature is increased the value of Z approaches 1. ( reaching the ideal behaviour) For a real gas 'G'Z gt 1 at STP then for 'G' which of the following is true

Answer»

1 MOLE of the gas occupies 22.4 L at NTP
1 moleof the gas occupies 22.4 L atpressure HIGHER than that at STP (keeping temperature constant)
1 mole of the gas occupies 22.4 L at pressure lower than that at STP ( keeping temperature constant)
None of the above

Solution :`Z=(PV_(m))/(RT) gt 1`
`(PV_(m))/(RT)= (1xx22.4)/(R xxT ) `
At same pressure `=1` atm
`(1xxV_(m))/(RT) gt (1 xx 22.4)/(R xx T ) implies V_(m) gt 22.4 L ` at STP for real gas.
For `V_(m) = 22.4 L` of real gas , we have to increase the pressure.

One molecule of an olefinic compound, on ozonolysis, produces one molecule of acetone,one molecule of glyoxal and one molecule of formadehyde. Identify the compound and write its IUPAC name.

Answer»

Solution :The structure of the olefinic hydrocarbon MAY be obtained by arranging the carbonyl compounds obtained on ozonolysis properly (each of the two oxygen atoms of acetone and formaldehyde is PLACED in front of the 2 oxygen atoms of GLYOXAL) followed by eliminating the four oxygen atoms and joining the carbonyl carbons by double BONDS. Thus, the IUPAC name of the starting olefinic compound is 4-methylpenta -1,3-diene.

One mole of water at 100^@C is converted into steam at 100^@C at a constant pressure of 1 atm. The change in entropy is ____________. (heat of vaporization of water at 100^@C=540cal/g)

Answer»

8.74
18.76
24.06
26.06

Solution :The ENTROPY change = `("heat of vaporization")//("temperature")`
Here, heat of vaporisation = 540 cal/gm
`=540xx18 cal mol^(-1)`
Temperature of WATER = 100 + 273 = 373 K
`THEREFORE` entropy change = `(540xx18)/(373) = 26.06 cal mol^(-1) K^(-1)`.

One mole of oxygen at 273 K and one mole of sulphur dioxide at 546 K are taken in two separate containers, then

Answer»

kinetic energy of both are equal
kinetic energy of `O_(2) lt` kinetic energy of `SO_(2)`
kinetic energy of `O_(2) gt` kinetic energy of `SO_(2)`
none of these.

Solution :For OXYGEN, n = 1 mole, T = 273 K
Molecular mass of `O_(2) = 2 XX 16 = 32`
For SULPHUR DIOXIDE, n = 1 mole.
T = 546 K = 2(273)K
Molecular mass of `SO_(2) = 32 + 2(16) = 64`
Kinetic energy = (3/2)RT
`(K.E_(I))/(K.E_(II)) = ((3)/(2) xx Rxx T)/((3)/(2) xx R xx 2T) = 1/2`
`therefore` Kinetic energy of `SO_(2) gt` Kinetic energy of `O_(2)`.
