101.
A mixture in which the mole ratio of $${H_2}$$ and $${O_2}$$ is 2 : 1 is used to prepare water by the reaction, $$2{H_{2\left( g \right)}} + {O_{2\left( g \right)}} \to 2{H_2}{O_{\left( g \right)}}$$
The total pressure in the container is $$0.8\,atm$$ at $$20{\,^ \circ }C$$ before the reaction. The final pressure at $$120{\,^ \circ }C$$ after reaction is ( assuming $$80\% $$ yield of water )

At high altitudes, water boils at a lower temperature because
A
the atmospheric pressure is high at high altitudes
B
the viscosity of water is reduced at high altitudes
C
the atmospheric pressure is low at high altitudes
D
the surface tension of water is reduced at high altitudes.
Answer :
the atmospheric pressure is low at high altitudes
At high altitudes, atmospheric pressure is low, hence water boils at a lower temperature.
103.
A gas will approach ideal behaviour at
A
low temperature and low pressure.
B
low temperature and high pressure.
C
high temperature and low pressure.
D
high temperature and high pressure.
Answer :
high temperature and low pressure.
For an ideal-gas behaviour, the molecules of a gas should be far apart. The factors favouring this condition are high temperature and low pressure.

For real gases van der Waals equation is written as
$$\left( {P + \frac{{a{n^2}}}{{{V^2}}}} \right)\left( {V - nb} \right) = nRT$$
where $$'a’$$ and $$'b’$$ are van der Waals constants. Two sets of gases are :
$$\eqalign{
& \left( {\text{i}} \right)\,\,{O_2},C{O_2},{H_2}\,{\text{and}}\,He \cr
& \left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)\,\,C{H_4},\,{O_2}\,{\text{and}}\,{H_2} \cr} $$
The gases given in set - I in increasing order of $$'b’$$ and gases given in set - II in decreasing order of $$'a’,$$ are arranged below. Select the correct order from the following :

Copper crystallises in a face centred cubic $$(fcc)$$ lattice with a unit cell length of
$$361\,pm.$$ What is the radius of copper atom in $$pm?$$
A
128$$\,pm$$
B
157$$\,pm$$
C
181$$\,pm$$
D
108$$\,pm$$
Answer :
128$$\,pm$$
In case of face centred cubic $$(fcc)$$ lattice,
radius $$ = \frac{{\sqrt 2 a}}{4}$$
∴ Radius of copper atom ( $$fcc$$ lattice )
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{\sqrt 2 \times 361}}{4} \cr
& = 128\,pm \cr} $$
106.
Longest mean free path stands for :
A
$${H_2}$$
B
$${N_2}$$
C
$${O_2}$$
D
$$C{1_2}$$
Answer :
$${H_2}$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{The mean free path,}} \cr
& \lambda = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 \pi {a^2}N}} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\lambda \alpha \frac{1}{{{a^2}}},\,{\text{where}}\,a = {\text{molecular}}\,{\text{diameter}} \cr
& \therefore \,\,\,{\text{Smaller the molecular diameter, longer the mean free}} \cr
& {\text{path}}{\text{. Hence}}\,{H_2}\,{\text{is}}\,{\text{the}}\,{\text{answer}}{\text{.}} \cr} $$
107.
If a gas expands at constant temperature, it indicates that
A
kinetic energy of molecules decreases
B
pressure of the gas increases
C
kinetic energy of molecules remains the same
D
number of the molecules of gas increases
Answer :
kinetic energy of molecules remains the same
$$KE = \frac{3}{2}RT$$ ( for one mole of a gas )
As, the kinetic energy of a gaseous molecule depends only on temperature, thus at constant temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecules remains the same.
108.
If $$Z$$ is a compressibility factor, van der Waals equation at low pressure can be written as :
A
$$Z = 1 + \frac{{RT}}{{Pb}}$$
B
$$Z = 1 - \frac{a}{{VRT}}$$
C
$$Z = 1 - \frac{{Pb}}{{RT}}$$
D
$$Z = 1 + \frac{{Pb}}{{RT}}$$
Answer :
$$Z = 1 - \frac{a}{{VRT}}$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Compressibility factor}}\,\left( Z \right) = \frac{{PV}}{{RT}} \cr
& {\text{(For one mole of real gas)}} \cr
& {\text{van der Waals equation}} \cr
& \left( {P + \frac{a}{{{V^2}}}} \right)\left( {V - b} \right) = RT \cr} $$
At low pressure, volume is very large and hence correction term $$b$$ can be neglected in comparison to very large volume of $$V.$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{i}}{\text{.e}}{\text{.}}\,\,V - b \approx V \cr
& \left( {P + \frac{a}{{{V^2}}}} \right)V = RT\,;\,PV + \frac{a}{V} = RT \cr
& PV = RT - \frac{a}{V};\,\frac{{PV}}{{RT}} = 1 - \frac{a}{{VRT}} \cr} $$
$${\text{Hence}},$$

A mixture of dihydrogen and dioxygen at one bar pressure contains $$20\% $$ by weight of dihydrogen. What would be the partial pressure of dihydrogen in bar ?
A
0.8
B
1.8
C
2.8
D
3.0
Answer :
0.8
Let the total mass of the mixture be $$100\,g$$
Mass of $${H_2} = \frac{{20}}{{100}} \times 100 = 20\,g$$
No. of moles of $${H_2} = \frac{{20}}{2} = 10\,moles$$
Mass of $${O_2} = 100 - 20 = 80\,g$$
No. of moles of $${O_2} = \frac{{80}}{{32}} = 2.5\,moles$$
Total number of moles of $${H_2}$$ and $${O_2} = 10 + 2.5 = 12.5$$
Mole fraction of $${H_2} = \frac{{10}}{{12.5}} = 0.8$$
Total pressure of mixture $$ = 1\,bar$$
∴ Partial pressure of $${H_2}$$ in the mixture, $${p_{{H_2}}}$$
$$\eqalign{
& = {\text{Mole fraction }} \times {\text{ Total pressure}} \cr
& = 0.8 \times 1 \cr
& = 0.8\,bar \cr} $$
