A bubble of the gas released at the bottom of a lake increases to eight times the original volume when it reaches at the surface. Assuming that the atmospheric pressure is equivalent to pressure exerted by a column of water $$10$$ $$m$$ high, what is the depth of the lake
A
80$$\,m$$
B
90$$\,m$$
C
10$$\,m$$
D
70$$\,m$$
Answer :
70$$\,m$$
Let $$V$$ be the original volume of bubble. The final volume will be $$8$$ $$V.$$ Let $$p$$ be the atmospheric pressure and $${p_1}$$ the pressure at the bottom
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \,\,p \times 8\,V = {p_1} \times V; \cr
& 8p = {p_1} \cr} $$
$${p_1} = $$ atmospheric pressure + pressure due to water lake
$$ = p + 7p$$
The $$p = 10$$ $$m$$ high, the $$7p$$ will be $$= 70$$ $$m$$ high
So the depth $$= 70$$ $$m$$

$$'a’$$ and $$'b’$$ are van der Waals’ constants for gases. Chlorine is more easily liquefied than ethane because
A
$$a$$ and $$b$$ for $$C{l_2} > a$$ and $$b$$ for $${C_2}{H_6}$$
B
$$a$$ and $$b$$ for $$C{l_2} < a$$ and $$b$$ for $${C_2}{H_6}$$
C
$$a$$ for $$C{l_2} < a$$ for $${C_2}{H_6}$$ but $$b$$ for $$C{l_2} > b$$ for $${C_2}{H_6}$$
D
$$a$$ for $$C{l_2} > a$$ for $${C_2}{H_6}$$ but $$b$$ for $$C{l_2} < b$$ for $${C_2}{H_6}$$
Answer :
$$a$$ for $$C{l_2} > a$$ for $${C_2}{H_6}$$ but $$b$$ for $$C{l_2} < b$$ for $${C_2}{H_6}$$
The value of $$a$$ is a measure of the magnitude of the attractive forces between the molecules of the gas. Greater the value of $$'a’,$$ larger is the attractive intermolecular force between the gas molecules.
The value of $$b$$ related to the effective size of the gas molecules. It is also termed as excluded volume.
The gases with higher value of $$a$$ and lower value of $$b$$ are more liquefiable, hence for $$C{l_2}$$ $$“a”$$ should be greater than for $${C_2}{H_6}$$ but for it $$b$$ should be less than for $${C_2}{H_6}.$$

The temperature at which a real gas obeys the ideal gas laws over a wide range of pressure is
A
Critical temperature
B
Boyle temperature
C
Inversion temperature
D
Reduced temperature
Answer :
Boyle temperature
The temperature at which a real gas behaves like an ideal gas is called Boyle’s temperature or Boyle’s point.

A
6
B
8
C
12
D
4
Answer :
12
$$HCP$$ is a closed packed arrangement, in which the unit cell is hexagonal and coordination number is 12.
45.
How many number of moles of nitrogen will be present in $$2.24\,L$$ of nitrogen gas at $$STP?$$
A
its critical temperature is always above $${0^ \circ }C$$
B
its molecules are relatively smaller in size
C
it solidifies before becoming a liquid
D
forces operating between its molecules are negligible
Answer :
forces operating between its molecules are negligible
Gases can be liquefied by lowering the temperature and increasing the pressure. An ideal gas have no intermolecular force of attraction, so it cannot be liquefied by applying high pressure and decreasing temperature.
47.
When is the deviation more in the behaviour of a gas from the ideal gas equation $$pV = nRT?$$
A
At high temperature and low pressure
B
At low temperature and high pressure
C
At high temperature and high pressure
D
At low temperature and low pressure
Answer :
At low temperature and high pressure
Gases show deviation from ideal gas behaviour when the temperature is low and pressure is high. At low temperature, the volume of one molecule is not negligible in comparison to total volume and intermolecular force of attraction is maximum at low temperature and high pressure.

A compressed cylinder of gas contains $$1.50 \times {10^3}g$$ of $${N_2}$$ gas at a pressure of $$2.0 \times {10^7}Pa$$ and a temperature of $${17.1^ \circ }C.$$ What volume of gas has been released into the atmosphere if the final pressure in the cylinder is $$1.80 \times {10^5}\,Pa?$$ Assume ideal behaviour and that the gas temperature is unchanged.
