The average, RMS and most probable velocities of gas molecules at STP increase in the order

RMS < average velocity < most probable velocity

Most probable velocity < average velocity < RMS

Average velocity < RMS < most probable velocity

RMS < most probable velocity < average velocity

Explanation

(B). Molecular speed of gases are of velocity

(1) The RMS root mean square velocity

C = $\sqrt{(\frac{3 RT}{M})}$

(2) Average velocity = $\sqrt{\frac{8 RT}{πM}}$

RMS=1.085 × Average velocity

(3) Most probable velocity = $\sqrt{\frac{2 RT}{M}}$

The ratio is

Most probable velocity : Average velocity : RMS

= $\sqrt{2} : \sqrt{\frac{8}{π}} : \sqrt{3} = 1 : 1.128 : 1.224$

Explanation

(B). The relative rates of diffusion of gases with respect to molecular weights is given by the expression

$\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{M_{2}}{M_{1}}} = 4; M_{2} = 64 and M_{1} = 4$

Flask X is filled with 20g of ${CH}_{4}$ gas at 100°C and another identical flask Y with 40g $O_{2}$ gas at the same temperature. Which one of the following statements is correct – [Molar masses $(g {mol}^{- 1})$ ${CH}_{4}$ = 16.0, $O_{2}$ = 32.0]

The pressure of the gases in the two flasks are identical

The pressure of ${CH}_{4}$ in flask X is higher than that of $O_{2}$ in flask Y

The pressure of ${CH}_{4}$ in flask X is lower than that of $O_{2}$ in flask Y

The pressure of ${CH}_{4}$ in flask X is half that of $O_{2}$ in flask Y

Explanation

$(A) . n_{{CH}_{4}} = \frac{20}{16} = \frac{5}{4} n_{O_{2}} = \frac{40}{32} = \frac{5}{4} n_{{CH}_{4}} = n_{O_{2}} hence pressure is equal$

A certain volume of argon gas (Mol. wt. = 40) requires 45 s to effuse through a hole at a certain pressure and temperature. The same volume of another gas of unknown molecular weight requires 60s to pass through the same hole under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. The molecular weight of the gas is

120

Explanation

(C). This based on Graham's law of Diffusion.

$\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} = \sqrt{(\frac{M_{2}}{M_{1}})}$

The rms speed of a gas molecules at temperature $27 K$ and pressure $1.5$ bar is $1 \times 10^{4}$ cm/sec. If both temperature and pressure are raised three time, the rms speed of the gas will be

$9 \times 10^{4}$ cm/sec

$3 \times 10^{4}$ cm/sec

$\sqrt{3} \times 10^{4}$ cm/sec

$1 \times 10^{4}$ cm/sec

Explanation

(C). Do remember rms speed does not depend upon the pressure.

$C_{2} = \sqrt{\frac{3 R \times 3 \times 27}{M}} ∴ \frac{\bar{C_{2}}}{C_{1}} = \sqrt{3} C_{2} = \sqrt{\frac{3 R \times 27}{M}} or C_{2} = \sqrt{3} C_{1} = \sqrt{3} \times 10^{4} cm / \sec$

The rate of effusion of helium gas at a pressure of 1000 torr is 10 torr min–1 What will be the rate of effusion of hydrogen gas at a pressure of 2000 torr at the same temperature?

$20 torr \min^{- 1}$

$40 torr \min^{- 1}$

$20 \sqrt{2} torr \min^{- 1}$

$10 torr \min^{- 1}$

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.

Explanation

$(C) . At a given temperature, rate of effusion \propto P and \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}} ∴ rate of effusion of hydrogen gas = 10 torr \min^{- 1} \times \frac{2000}{1000} \times \sqrt{\frac{4}{2}} = 20 \sqrt{2} torr \min^{- 1}$

(B). Boyle temperature,

$T_{B} = \frac{a}{Rb} = \frac{4 {lit}^{2} atm . {mol}^{- 2}}{0.082 lit atm K^{- 1} {mol}^{- 1} x 0.04 lit {mol}^{- 1}} = 1219.5 = 1220 K .$

Carbon dioxide and nitrogen peroxide

Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide

Nitrous oxide and nitrogen peroxide

Explanation

(A). Mol. wt. of $CO$ = 28 Mol wt. of ${CO}_{2}$ = 44

Mol. wt. of $N_{2} O$ = 28 + 16 = 44

Mol. wt. of ${NO}_{2}$ = 14 + 32 = 46

$∵ {CO}_{2}$ and $N_{2} O$ having same mol. wt. therefore, rate of diffusion for both the gases are same.

Oxygen is present in 1-litre flask at a pressure of $7.6 \times 10^{- 10}$ mmHg. Calculate the number of oxygen molecules in the flask at $0 º C$ .

$2.686 \times 10^{10}$

$26.86 \times 10^{10}$

$0.626 \times 10^{12}$

$4.123 \times 10^{8}$

Explanation

(A). Using the expression $pV = nRT,$ we have

$n = \frac{pV}{RT} = \frac{\{(7.6 \times 10^{- 10} / 760) atm\} (1 L)}{(0.0821 atm L K^{- 1} {mol}^{- 1}) (273.15 K)} = 4.459 \times 10^{- 14} mol N = {nN}_{A} = (4.459 \times 10^{- 14} mol) (6.023 \times 10^{23} {mol}^{- 1}) = 2.686 \times 10^{10} .$
