States of Matter Question Answers: NCERT Class 11 Chemistry

Exercise 1
Q:
A:

Volume of gas(V1) = 500dm3   (given)

Pressure of gas (p1) = 1 bar    (given)

Volume of compressed gas (V2) = 200dm3  (given)

Now ,let P2 be the pressure required to compress the gas.

Therefore at constant temperature P1 V1 = P2 V2 (Boyle’s Law)

As a result P2 = P1 V1 / V2 = 1 X 500/200 = 2.5 bar

Therefore, the minimum pressure required is 2.5 bar.


Q:
A:

Given,

p = 0.1 bar

V = 34.05 mL = 34.05 × 10–3 L = 34.05 × 10–3 dm3

R = 0.083 bar dm3 K–1 mol–1

T = 546°C = (546 + 273) K = 819 K

From the gas equation PV = w. RT / M, we get

M = w. RT/ Pv    ……….(1)

Substituting the given values in the equation (1), we get

M = (0.0625 / 0.1 x 34.04) X 82.1 X 819 = 123.46 g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of phosphorus is 123.46 g mol–1.


Q:
A:

Let the volume of  air in the  flask at 27°C be V1 & that of the same amount of the gas at 477°C be V2.

According to charle’s law

V2/T2  =  V1/ T1   …………………(1)

NOW  volume of gas expelled out = V2 – V1, THEN

Fraction of the gas expelled out = (V2 – V1 ) / V2 = 1- (V1/ V2)     …………….(2)

Also from equation (1)  V1/ V2 = T1/ T2   …………..(3)

Substituting the values of (3) in (2), we get

Fraction of the air expelled  = 1- T1/ T2 = (T2 – T1)/ T2

 = 750- 300 /750 = 0.6

Hence, fraction of air expelled out is 0.6 or 3/5 th


Q:
A:

Given,

Amount of the gas, n = 4.0 mol

Volume of the gas, V = 5 dm3

Pressure of the gas, p = 3.32 bar

R = 0.083 bar dm3 K–1 mol–1

From the ideal gas equation, we get

pV = nRT

T = pV / nR

      = (3.32x5) /  (4x0.083)

      = 50K

Hence, the required temperature is 50 K.


Q:
A:

Mass of the nitrogen = 1.4 g

Molar mass of nitrogen  = 28 g mol–1

Therefore amount of nitrogen = 1.4 / 28 = 0.05 mol

Number of nitrogen molecule in 0.05 mol

= 6.023 x 1023  x 0.05

= 3.0115 x 1022

Also number of electrons in one molecule of nitrogen  = 14

Therefore, total number of electrons in 1.4 g of nitrogen 

= 3.0115 x 1022 x 14 

= 4.22 x 1023


Q:
A:

We know , Avogadro number = 6.023 × 1023

Therefore , time taken for distributing the grains

= (6.023 × 1023 x 1) / 1010 = 6.023 x 1013 s

By Converting these seconds into years, we get

= (6.023 x 1013) / (60 x60x24x365)

= 1,90,9800 y

Hence, the time taken would be 1.909 x 106 years.


Q:
A:

Given,

Mass of oxygen  = 8 g, molar mass of oxygen = 32 g/mol

Mass of hydrogen = 4 g, molar mass of hydrogen = 2 g/mol

Therefore amount of oxygen = 8/ 32 = 0.25 mol

And amount of hydrogen = 4/2 = 2 mol

From the gas equation PV = n RT, we get,

 P X 1  = (0.25 + 2)  X 0.083 X 300 = 56.02 bar

Hence, the total pressure of the mixture is 56.02 bar.


Q:
A:

Payload of the ballon  = mass of the displaced air – mass of the ballon

Radius of the ballon, r  = 10 m

Mass of the ballon, m = 100kg

Therefore volume of the ballon = 4/3πr3 = 4/3 x 22/7 x (10)3 = 4190.5 m3

Now volume of the displaced air = 4190.5 m3

Given,

Density of air = 1.2 kg m–3

Therefore, the mass of the displaced air

= 4190.5 x 1.2  = 5028.6 kg

Let w be the mass of helium gas filled into the ballon,then

PV = (w/m)RT

OR w = PVM/RT

= (1.66 X 4190.5 X 103 X 4) / (0.083 X 300)

 = 1117 kg (approx)

Total mass of the balloon filled with He  = 1117 + 100 = 1217 kg

Therefore payload of the balloon  = 5028.6 – 1217 = 3811.6 kg

Hence, the pay load of the balloon is 3811.6 kg.


Q:
A:

From the gas equation,

PV = (w/M) RT

Where w is the mass of the gas, M is the molar mass of the gas

For CO2 , M = 44 g/mol

Substituting the given values ,we get

1 x V  = (8.8 / 44) x 0.083 x 304.1

 = 5.05 L

Hence, the volume occupied is 5.05 L.


Q:
A:

From the gas equation,

PV = (w/M) RT

Substituting the given data in the gas equation, we get

PV = (2.9 / M) x R x 368

&

PV = (0.184 / 2) x R x 290

From these two equation, we can write

(2.9 / M) x R x 368 = (0.184 / 2) x R x 290

By, striking throug R from both side, we get

(2.9 / M) x 368 = (0.184 / 2) x 290

Or

(2.9 / M)   =  (0.092 X 290) / 368

Or

M  = 2.9 x 368 / 0.092 x 290

= 40 g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of the gas is 40 g mol–1.


Q:
A:

Pressure of the gas mixture = 1 bar

Let us consider 100g of the mixture

So ,mass of hydrogen in the mixture  = 20 g

& mass of oxygen in the mixture = 80 g

Using the respective molar masses, we get

  nH = 20/ 2  = 10 mol

. nO = 80 / 32 = 2.5 mol

Then, pH = XH x Ptotal

= (nH / nH + nO) x P total  

= (10 / 10 + 2.5 ) x  1 

= 0.8 bar

Hence, the partial pressure of dihydrogen is 0.8 bar.


Q:
A:

According to Boyle’s Law P1 V1 = P2 V2

Here the temperature is constant. Therefore

1.2 X 120 = P2 X 180

OR

P2 = 1.2 X 120 /180 = 0.8 bar

Therefore, the pressure would be 0.8 bar.


Q:
A:

The SI unit of the given quantity is obtained by substituting the SI units of all the quantities in its expression.

Also

The SI unit for pressure, p is Nm–2.

The SI unit for volume, V is m3.

The SI unit for temperature, T is K.

The SI unit for the number of moles, n is mol.

Therefore, the SI unit for quantity pV2T2 / n is given by substituting the above values in the given expression

pV2T2 / n  = (Nm-2) x (m3)2 x K2 / mol

= Nm4K2 mol-1


Q:
A:

Charles observed that the volume of certain amount of a gas changes by  VO / 273.15 for each degree rise or fall in temperature.VO being the volume at 0°C.The volume at any temperature t°C is given by

Vt  = VO(1 + t°C/ 273.15)

Now ,if the temperature is lowered, it becomes clear that at t = -273.15°C

Vt  = VO(1+ (-273.15/273.15))

= VO  = (1-1) = 0

And below t = -273.15°C, Vt  becomes negative, which is not possible

Therefore the physically significant lowest temperature is -273.15° C


Q:
A:

The maximum temperature at which a gas can be converted into a liquid by an increase in pressure is called its critical temperature(Tc). 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.


Q:
A:

The van der Waals equation is an equation of state for a fluid composed of particles that have a non-zero volume and a pairwise attractive inter particle force (such as the van der Waals force). The equation is van der Waals equation 

van der waals equation

Physical significance of ‘a’: ‘a’ is a measure of the magnitude of intermolecular attractive forces between the particles

Physical significance of ‘b’:

‘b’ is the volume excluded by a mole of particles

  p is the pressure of fluid

V  is the total volume of container containing the fluid


Q:
A:

The equation of state is given by, pV = nRT ……….. (i)

Where, p → Pressure of gas

V → Volume of gas

n→ Number of moles of gas

R → Gas constant

T → Temperature of gas

From equation (i) we have,

p = n RT/V

Where n= Mass of gas(m)/ Molar mass of gas(M)

Putting value of n in the equation, we have

 p = m RT/ MV ------------(ii)

Now density(ρ) = m /V ----------------(iii)

Putting (iii) in (ii) we get

P = ρ RT / M

OR

ρ = PM / RT

Hence, at a given temperature, the density (ρ) of gas is proportional to its pressure (P)


Q:
A:

Using the relationship of density (ρ) of the substance at temperature (T)

We have ρ = Mp/RT

or p = ρ RT/ M

For the given data if M is the molar mass of the gaseous oxide, we have

2 = ρ RT/ M ……………(1)

Also for nitrogen 5 = ρ RT/28 ………………….(2)

From (1) & (2), we have

5/2 = M/28

Or

M = 5 X 28/ 2 = 70g/mol

Hence, the molecular mass of the oxide is 70 g/mol.


Q:
A:

Mass of gas A , WA = 1g

Mass of gas B,  WB = 2g

Pressure exerted by the gas A = 2 bar

Total pressure due to both the gases = 3 bar

In this case temperature & volume remain constant

Now if MA & MB are molar masses of the gases A & B respectively,therefore

pA V= WA RT/MA & Ptotal V = (WA/MA + WB/ MB) RT

= 2 X V = 1 X RT/MA & 3 X V = (1/MA + 2/MB)RT

From these two equations, we get

3/2 = (1/MA + 2/MB) / (1 /MA) = (MB + 2MA) / MB

This result in 2MA/ MB = (3/2) -1 = ½

OR MB = 4MA

Thus, a relationship between the molecular masses of A and B is given by

4MA = MB   


Q:
A:

Aluminium reacts with caustic soda in accordance with the reaction

The reaction of aluminium with caustic soda can be represented as:

Therefore volume of hydrogen at STP released when 0.15g of Al reactsv

=0.15 x 3 x 22.4 /54 = 187ml

Now P1 = 1 bar,

P2 = 1 bar

T1 = 273 K

T2 = 20 + 273 = 293 K

V1 = 187 ml

V2 = x

When pressure is held constant,then

V2 = P1 V1 T2 / P2 T1

OR

x = 1 X 187 X 293 / 0.987 X 273

= 201 ml

Therefore, 201 mL of dihydrogen will be released.


Q:
A:

Given,

Mass of carbon dioxide = 4.4 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide= 44g/mol

Mass of methane  = 3.2g

Molar mass of methane = 16g/mol

Now amount of methane, nCH4 = 3.2/ 16 = 0.2 mol

& amount of CO2  nCO2  = 4.4/ 44 = 0.1 mol

Also we know ,

Pv = (nCH4 + nCO2) RT

OR P X 9 = (0.2 +0.1) x 0.0821 x 300

Or  p = 0.3 x 0.0821 x 300 / 9 = 0.821 atm

Hence, the total pressure exerted by the mixture is 0.821 atm


Q:
A:

From the equation Pv = n RT for the two gases. We can write

0.8 x 0.5 = nH2 x RT  or nH2  = 0.8 x 0.5 / RT

ALSO  0.7 x 2.0  = n02 . RT  or n02  = 0.7 x 2 / RT

When introduced in 1 L vessel, then

Px1L = (n02 + nH2)  RT

Putting the values, we get

P = 0.4 + 1.4 = 1.8 bar

Hence, the total pressure of the gaseous mixture in the vessel is 1.8 bar


Q:
A:

For an ideal gas

Density ρ = p x M/ RT

F rom the given data,

5.46 = 2 x M/ 300 x R    ………(1)

ALSO  ρSTP = 1 x M/ 273 x R    ………..(2)

FROM (1) & (2) ,WE GET

ρSTP =  (1 x M/ 273 x R)   x  (300 x R/ 2 x M) x 5.46

= 300 x 5.46 / 273 X 2 = 3.00 g/dm3

Hence, the density of the gas at STP will be 3 g dm–3.
