    Q1 :What will be the minimum pressure required to compress 500 dm3 of air at 1 bar to 200 dm3 at 30°C?
    Answer :
    Given,
    Initial pressure, p1 = 1 bar
    Initial volume, V1 = 500 dm3
    Final volume, V2 = 200 dm3
    Since the temperature remains constant, the final pressure (p2) can be calculated using Boyle’s law.
    According to Boyle’s law,

    Therefore, the minimum pressure required is 2.5 bar.


    Q2 :A vessel of 120 mL capacity contains a certain amount of gas at 35 °C and 1.2 bar pressure. The gas is transferred to another vessel of volume 180 mL at 35 °C. What would be its pressure?

    R = 0.083 bar dm3 K-1 mol-1
    T = 546°C = (546 + 273) K = 819 K
    The number of moles (n) can be calculated using the ideal gas equation as:

    Therefore, molar mass of phosphorus  = 1247.5 g mol-1
    Hence, the molar mass of phosphorus is 1247.5 g mol-1.


    Q11 :A student forgot to add the reaction mixture to the round bottomed flask at 27 °C but instead he/she placed the flask on the flame. After a lapse of time, he realized his mistake, and using a pyrometer he found the temperature of the flask was 477 °C. What fraction of air would have been expelled out?

    Q21 :In terms of Charles’ law explain why -273°C is the lowest possible temperature.
    Answer :
    Charles’ law states that at constant pressure, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

    It was found that for all gases (at any given pressure), the plots of volume vs. temperature (in °C) is a straight line. If this line is extended to zero volume, then it intersects the temperature-axis at – 273°C. In other words, the volume of any gas at -273°C is zero. This is because all gases get liquefied before reaching a temperature of – 273°C. Hence, it can be concluded that – 273°C is the lowest possible temperature.


    Q22 :Critical temperature for carbon dioxide and methane are 31.1 °C and -81.9 °C respectively. Which of these has stronger intermolecular forces and why?
    Answer :
    Higher is the critical temperature of a gas, easier is its liquefaction. This means that the intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules of a gas are directly proportional to its critical temperature. Hence,
    intermolecular forces of attraction are stronger in the case of CO2.


    Q23 :Explain the physical significance of Van der Waals parameters.
    Answer :
    Physical significance of ‘a’:
    ‘a’ is a measure of the magnitude of intermolecular attractive forces within a gas.
    Physical significance of ‘b’:
    ‘b’ is a measure of the volume of a gas molecule.
