Consider a gas of n moles at a pressure of P and a temperature of T in Celsius, what would be its volume?(a) nR(T + 273)/p(b) nRT/p(c) nR(T – 273)/p(d) R(T + 273)/pThis question was addressed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.The above asked question is from States of Matter in division States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) nR(T + 273)/p

The best explanation: The IDEAL GAS equation is given NYPV = not where p is pressure is the volume and is the NUMBER of MOLES are is universal gas constant and T is a temperature in Kelvin. So by arranging, we V = nR(T + 273)/p, as T is in CELCIUS, we need to add 273.

The partial pressure of a gas X is given by two bar, where is the total pressure of the gaseous mixture in a cylinder is 10 bar. What is the mole fraction of the gas X in that mixture?(a) 0.5(b) 2(c) 0.2(d) 5I had been asked this question in an interview.This interesting question is from States of Matter in division States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct choice is (C) 0.2

To explain I would say: The partial pressure of a gas equals the mole fraction of the gas in the gaseous mixture X the TOTAL pressure that is exerted by the gaseous mixture. So here 2 bar =MOLAR fraction x 10 bar, we get that the mole fraction is 2/10 = 0.2.

If the partial pressure of oxygen is given by three bar and the partial pressure of the other gas is four bar, then what is a total pressure that is exerted?(a) 7 bar(b) 3 bar(c) 4 bar(d) 1 barThis question was addressed to me in unit test.My question is taken from States of Matter topic in division States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) 7 BAR

To explain: The total PRESSURE that is exerted is given by the SUM of the partial pressure of the gases present. By adding, the sum of the partial pressures is 3BAR + 4bar = 7bar, so the total pressure is 7 bar in this case.

54.

A certain gas occupies 200 ml of volume at 2 bar pressure at hundred degrees Kelvin. How much volume does it occupy at 5 bar pressure and 200 degrees Kelvin?(a) 200 ml(b) 160 ml(c) 240 ml(d) 320 mlThis question was posed to me in final exam.Query is from States of Matter in chapter States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer» RIGHT answer is (B) 160 ml

The best explanation: From ideal GAS law, we know that P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2. Here we take P1 as 2 bar, V1 as 200 ml, T1 as hundred degrees Kelvin,P2 as 5 bar and T2 as 200 degrees Kelvin, so by substituting the above values 200 x 2/100 = 5 x V2/200; V2 = 160 ml.

Which of the following do you think is a correct relationship between the molar mass of gas temperature and its pressure?(a) M = dRT/P(b) M = dRT/V(c) PV = nRT(d) M = VRT/PThis question was addressed to me in examination.The doubt is from States of Matter topic in portion States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

Correct option is (a) M = dRT/P

The explanation: We know that the IDEAL gas equation is given by PV = nRT. NUMBER of moles = n; can also be written as m/M, so PV = nRT becomes, PV = mRT/M. We also have density d = m/V, so molar mass M = dRT/P.

At 22 degree Celsius a gas consists of pressure 1.1 bars then what is the temperature when the gas consists a pressure of 2.2 bars?(a) 11 degree Celsius(b) 44 degree Celsius(c) 33 degree Celsius(d) 22 degree CelsiusThe question was asked in a job interview.This key question is from States of Matter topic in section States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (b) 44 degree Celsius

The best I can explain: According to Gay-Lussac’s law,at the constant volume, the pressure is directly PROPORTIONAL to the TEMPERATURE of gas so P1/P2 = T1/T2 that is 1.1 BAR/2.2 bar = 22 DEGREES Celsius/44 degree Celsius. So the temperature required is 44 degrees Celsius.

Answer»

The correct option is (c) 224 liters

Easy explanation: As we know that the NUMBER of moles is proportional to the VOLUME as per Avogadro’s law and we also know that an IDEAL GAS at STP OCCUPIES 22.4 liters of volume. So here 10 moles of gas occupies 224 liters of volume.

To explain: By using Boyle’s law, draw a PARALLEL LINE to volume axis, so as to maintain a constant temperature. Draw perpendicular lines to the point of intersection of pressure lines to constant temperature and volume axis. Now SEE to the lower the volume, higher the pressure. So P1 is greater than P2.

How much does the volume of the gas increase if we increase the temperature by 1 Degree?(a) 273 liters(b) 1 by 273^rd of the original volume of the gas(c) 1 liter(d) Hundred litersThis question was addressed to me in examination.This interesting question is from States of Matter topic in division States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

Right answer is (b) 1 by 273^rd of the ORIGINAL volume of the gas

For EXPLANATION: According to Charles law, the volume of the fixed gas at constant pressure is directly PROPORTIONAL to the Absolute Temperature of the gas. So we thereby REPRESENT this as Vt = V0(1 + t/273) where Vt is the volume of the gas at temperature t and V0 is the volume of the gas at 0 degrees Celsius that is absolute temperature.

When the atmospheric pressure is increased to 2 atm, then what is the volume of the gas?(a) 1 liter(b) 5 liters(c) 10 liters(d) 2.5 litersThe question was asked in an interview for job.The origin of the question is States of Matter in portion States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (d) 2.5 liters

For explanation I would say: As we know that, Boyle’s law states at a constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to its volume so P1V1 equals to P2V2 by SUBSTITUTING P1 as one atmospheric pressure V1 as 5 liters P1 as to atmospheric pressure we get V2 as 5/2 that is 2.5 liters.

Right option is (d) 9

To EXPLAIN: The rise in temperature DEPICTS THERMAL energy. So among the given options at 82 degrees Celsius the milk has the highest thermal energy and at 9 degrees Celsius the milk has higher intermolecular energy. So at 9 degrees, the intermolecular FORCES are predominant than thermal energy in milk.

Answer»

Right option is (b) thermal energy

The best explanation: In the case of the predominance of thermal energy, the gas is LIKELY to be FORMED RATHER than LIQUIDS and solids. This happens because the thermal energy tends to separate the molecules in a substance.

99.

A gas can be liquefied only through an increase in compression.(a) true(b) falseThe question was posed to me in examination.The query is from States of Matter topic in portion States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct answer is (b) false

Explanation: The above statement is false because GAS cannot be LIQUEFIED only through compression, even the temperature NEEDS to be lowered in order to COMPRESS the gas. This is because of the reaction of intermolecular forces and thermal energy between the molecules.
