Answer» Correct Answer - C
The formula `M_0.98 O` shows that if there were 100 O-atoms present as `O^(2-)` ions, then there 98 M atoms present as `M^(2+)` and `M^(3+)` . Suppose `M^(3+) =x` , then `M^(2+)` =98-x . As the compound as a whole is neutral, Total charge on `M^(3+)` and `M^(2+)` =Total charge on 100 `O^(2-)` ions
x (+3) + (98-x) (+2)=100 x 2 or 3x + 196 - 2x =200 or x=4
`therefore` % of `M^(3+)=4/98xx100`=4.08 %

We know that,
`(P_(1) V_(1))/(T_(1)) = (P_(2) V_(2))/(T_(2))`

Assuming that dry air contains 79% `N_(2)` and 21% `O_(2)` by volume, calculate the density of dry air at if it has a relative humidity of 40%. The vapour pressure of water at `25^(@)C` is 23.76 mm.

Answer» Calculation of density of dry air. Density of air means the mass of air per litre.
first let us convert 1 L `(1000 cm^(3))` of air at `25^(@)C` 1 atm pressure to the volume at S.T.P.
`(P_(1)V_(1))/(T_(1))=(P_(2)V_(2))/(T_(2))`
`:. " " (1 atmxx1000" cm"^(3))/(298" K")=(1 atm xxV_(2))/(273 K) " or " V_(2)=916.1" cm"^(3)`
As air contains 79%`N_(2)` and 21% `O_(2)`,
`:. " "` Volume of `N_(2)` at S.T.P. in the air `=(79)/(100)xx916.1cm^(3)=723.72" cm"^(3)`
Volume of `O_(2)` at S.T.P. in the air `=(21)/(100)xx916.1" cm"^(3)=193.38" cm"^(3)`
Mass of `723.72" cm"^(3)` of `N_(2)` at S.T.P. `=(28)/(22400xx723.72=0.905" g"`
Mass of `193.38" cm"^(3)` of `O_(2)` at S.T.P. `=(32)/(22400)xx923.38=0.276" g"`
`:. ` Total mass of 1 L of air at `25^(@)C` and 1 atm `=0.905+0.276" g"=1.181" g"`
Hence, density of dry air `=1.181" g "L^(-1)`
Calculation of density of moist air
% Relative humidity`=("Partial pressure of "H_(2)O "vapours")/("Vapour pressure of "H_(2)O "at the same temp")xx100`
`:. " "` Partial pressure of `H_(2)O` vapours`=(40xx23.76)/(100) =9.5" mm"`
As total pressure =1 atm=760 mm,
`:. " "` Partial pressure of `N_(2)=(79)/(100)xx750.5" mm "=592.9" mm "`
and Partial pressure of `O_(2)=750.5-529.9=157.6" mm"`
Applying gas equation PV=nRT, i.e., `n=(PV)/(RT)`
No. of moles of `H_(2)O` in the air `(n_(H_(2)O))=((9.5//760)"atm "xx1L))/(0.0821" L atm "K^(-1)mol^(-1)xx298" K ")=5.1xx10^(-4)`
No. of moles of `N_(2)` in the air `(n_(N_(2)))=((592.9//760)xx1)/(0.0821xx298)=3.19xx10^(-2)`
No. of moles of `O_(2)` in the air `(n_(O_(2))=((157.6//760)xx1)/(0.0821xx298)=8.48xx10^(-2)`
Total mass of 1 L of air `=5.1xx10^(-4)xx18+3.19xx10^(-2)xx28+8.48xx10^(-3)xx32`
`=0.00918+0.8932+0.02714=1.174" g"`
Hence, density of moist air `=1.174" g "L^(-1)`
Note. Density of moist dry air can also be calculated by this method.

A cylinder of 20.0 L capacity contains 160 g oxygen gas at `25^(@)C`. What mass of oxygen must be released to reduce the pressure of the cylinder to 1.2 atm ?

Answer» Number of moles of oxygen gas present initially in the cylinder`=(160g)/(32"g mol"^(-1))=5" moles"`
To calculate the number of moles now present, we have P=1.2 atm, T=298 K, V=20.0L
Applying the relation, PV=nRT, we have `n=(PV)/(RT)=(1.2" atm "xx20.0" L")/(0.0821" L atm " K^(-1)mol^(-1)xx298" K")=0.98" mol"`
`:.` Number of moles of `O_(2)` required to be released =5-0.98=4.02 mol
or Mass of `O_(2)` required to be released `=4.02xx32" g"=128.64" g"`
918.

A `34.0 dm^(3)` cylinder contains `212 g` of oxygen gas at `21^(@)C`. What mass of oxygen must be released to reduce the pressure in the cylinder to `1.24` bar ?

Answer» Step I. Calculation of no. of moles of `O_(2)` left in cylinder.
`P = 1.24` bar , `V = 34 dm^(3)`
`T = (21 + 273) = 294 K` , `R = 0.083 dm^(3) "bar" K^(-1) mol^(-1)`
According to ideal gas equation, `PV = nRT`
`n = (PV)/(RT) = ((1.24 "bar") xx (34 dm^(3)))/((0.083 dm^(3) "bar" K^(-1) mol^(-1)) xx (294 K)) = 1.727` mol
Step II. Calculation of mass of hydrogen released
Mass of `O_(2)` left in the cylinder `= n xx M = (1.727 "mol") xx (32 g "mol"^(-1)) = 55.26 g`
Mass of `O_(2)` initially present `= 212 g`
`:.` Mass of `O_(2)` released `= (212 - 55.26) = 156.74 g`

`1 L` of a gaseous mixture is effused in `5 min 11s`, while `1 L` of oxygen takes `10 min`. The gaseous mixture contains methane and hydrogen. Calculate (`a`) The density of gaseous mixture. (`b`) The percentage by volume of each gas in mixture.

Answer» `{:(O_(2),"Mixture"),(d_(1)=16, d_(2)=?),(t_(1)=10xx60=600 s, t_(2)=5xx60+11=311 s):}`
Volume is same, so
`(t_(2))/(t_(1))=sqrt((d_(2))/(d_(1)))`
`(311)/(600)=sqrt((d_(2))/(16))`
`implies ((311)^(2))/((600)^(2))=(d_(2))/(16)`
`implies d_(2)=4.3`
`d_(H_(2))=1` and `d_(CH_(4))=8`. So
`d_(mix)=(d_(CH_(4))xxx+(100-x)d_(H_(2)))/(100)`
`4.3xx100=8x+(100-x)xx1`
`430=8x+100-x`
`330=7x`
`x=47.14%`
`%CH_(4)=47.14`, `%H_(2)=52.86`

What volume of `O_(2)` at 2.00 atm pressure and `27^(@)C` is requried to burn 10.0 g of heptane `(C_(7)H_(16))` ? `C_(7)H_(16) + 11 O_(2) to 7 CO_(2) + 8 H_(2)O`

Answer» Correct Answer - `13.71 L`
Step I. Volume of `O_(2)` at N.T.P.
The chemical equation for the reaction is :
`{:(C_(7)H_(16),+,11O_(2),rarr7CO_(2)+8H_(2)O),(7xx12+16xx1,,11xx22.4,),(=100g,,-246.4L,):}`
100 g of `C_(7)H_(16)` require `O_(2) = 246.4 L , 10 g` of `C_(7)H_(16)` require `O_(2) = (246.4 xx 10)/(100) = 24.64 L`
Volume of `O_(2)` under exprimental conditions
`{:("N.T.P. conditions",,"Experimental conditions"),(V_(1)=24.64L,,V_(2)=?),(P_(1)=1.013"bar",,P_(2)=2 "bar"),(T_(1)=273 K,,T_(2)=27+273=300K):}`
By applying gas equation :
`(P_(1)V_(1))/(T_(1)) = (P_(2)V_(2))/(T_(2))` or `V_(2) = (P_(1)V_(1)T_(2))/(T_(1)P_(2)) = ((1.013 "bar") xx (24.64 L) xx (300 K))/((273 K) xx (2 "bar")) = 13.71 L`

An LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) cylinder weighs 14.8 kg when empty. When full, it weighs 29.0 kg and shows a pressure of 2.5 atm. In the course of use at `27^(@)C`, the weight of the full cylinder reduced to 23.2 kg. Find out the volume of the cubic metres used up at the normal usage conditions, and the final pressure inside the cylinder. Assume LPG to be n-butane with normal boiling point of `0^(@)C`

Answer» Decrease in the amount of PG`=29.0-23.2=5.8" kg"=(5800)/(58)" kg moles"=100" moles"`
Volume of 100 moles at 1 atm `300" K "(nRT)/(P)=(100" moles"xx0.0821" L atmK^(-1)xx300 K)/(1 atm)`
`=2463" L "=2463xx10^(-3)m^(3)=2.463m^(3)`
Final pressure inside the cylinder. As the cylinder contains liquefied petroleum gas in equibrium with its vapours, therefore, so long as temperature remains constant and some LPG is present, pressure with remain constant. As the cylinder still contains LPG=23.2-14.8=8.4 kg, pressure inside the cylinder will be same, i.e., 2.5 atm.

What is the volume at `N.T.P.` of a gas that occupies `43.0 mL` at `- 3^(@)C` and `0.98 "bar"` ?

Answer» Correct Answer - `42.06 mL`
`V_(1) = 43.0 mL , V_(2) = ?`
`P_(1) = 0.98 "bar" , V_(2) = ?`
`T_(1) = -3 + 273 = 270 K , T_(2) = 273 K`
According to ideal gas equation.
`(P_(1)V_(1))/(T_(1)) = (P_(2)V_(2))/(T_(2))` or `V_(2) = (P_(1)V_(1)T_(2))/(T_(1).P_(2)) = ((0.98 "bar" ) xx (43 mL) xx (273 K))/((270 K) xx (1.013 "bar")) = 42.06 mL`

At `25^(@)C` and 760 mm of Hg pressure, a gas occupies 600 mL volume. What will be its pressure at a height where temperature is `10^(@)C` and volume of the gas is 640 mL ?

Answer» `{:("Initial conditions","Finalconditions"),(P_(1)=760 mm,P_(2)=?),(V_(1)=600 mL,V_(2)=640 mL),(T_(1)=25^(@)C=298 K,T_(2)=10^(@)C=283 K):}`
Applying gas equation (combined gas law),
`(P_(1)V_(1))/(T_(1))=(P_(2)V_(2))/(T_(2))=((760 mm)(600 mL))/(298 K)=(P_(2)(640 mL))/(283 K)`
or `P_(2)=676.6" mm"`

Calculate the temperature of 4.0 mol of a gas occupying d `dm^(3)` at 3.32 bar. (R=0.083 bar `dm^(3) K^(-1)mol^(-1))`.

Answer» Correct Answer - 50 K
Given, n = 4.0 mol
V= 5 `dm^(3)`
p = 3.32 bar
R= 0.083 bar `dm^(3)K^(-1)mol^(-1)`
The temperature (T) can be calculated using the ideal gas question as:
pV = nRT
`rArrT=(pV)/(nR)`
`=(3.32xx5)/(4xx0.083)`
= 50 K
Hence, the required temperature is 50 K.
