Percentage of free space in body centred cubic $$(bcc)$$ unit cell is
A
30%
B
32%
C
34%
D
28%
Answer :
32%
In $$bcc$$ unit cell, the number of atoms = 2
Thus, volume of atoms in unit cell $$\left( v \right) = 2 \times \frac{4}{3}\pi {r^3}$$
For $$bcc$$ structure $$\left( r \right) = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{4}a$$
$$\eqalign{
& \left( V \right) = 2 \times \frac{4}{3}\pi {\left( {\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{8}a} \right)^3} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{8}\pi \,{a^3} \cr} $$
Volume of unit cell $$\left( V \right) = {a^3}$$
Percentage of volume occupied by unit cell
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{{\text{Volume of the atoms in unit cell}}}}{{{\text{Volume of unit cell}}}} \cr
& = \frac{{\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{8}\pi \,{a^3}}}{{{a^3}}} \times 100 \cr
& = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{8}\pi \times 100 \cr
& = 68\% \cr} $$
Hence, the free space in $$bcc$$ unit cell $$ = 100 - 68 = 32\% $$

The rate of diffusion of methane at a given temperature is twice that of a gas $$X.$$ The molecular weight of $$X$$ is
13.
The figure
helps to establish the relationship between force and
A
area of contact
B
velocity gradient
C
coefficient of viscosity
D
both (A) and (B)
Answer :
both (A) and (B)
This figure clearly helps to establish the relation that force is directly proportional to area of contact and velocity gradient.
$$\eqalign{
& f \propto A,f \propto \frac{{du}}{{dz}} \cr
& \therefore f \propto A\frac{{du}}{{dz}};f = \eta A\frac{{du}}{{dz}} \cr} $$
Where, $$\eta = $$ coefficient of viscosity.
$$A = $$ Area of contact.
$$\frac{{du}}{{dz}} = $$ veIocity gradient.

At $${100^ \circ }C$$ and $$1\,atm,$$ if the density of liquid water is $$1.0\,g\,c{m^{ - 3}}$$ and that of water vapour is $$0.0006\,g\,c{m^{ - 3}},$$ then the volume occupied by water molecules in 1 litre of steam at that temperature is
15.
The beans are cooked earlier in pressure cooker, because
A
boiling point increases with increasing pressure
B
boiling point decreases with increasing pressure
C
extra pressure of pressure cooker, softens the beans
D
internal energy is not lost while cooking in pressure cooker
Answer :
boiling point decreases with increasing pressure
The beans are cooked earlier in pressure cooker because boiling point decreases with increasing pressure.

Which is not true in case of an ideal gas?
A
It cannot be converted into a liquid
B
There is no interaction between the molecules
C
All molecules of the gas move with same speed
D
At a given temperature, $$pV$$ is proportional to the amount of the gas
Answer :
All molecules of the gas move with same speed
A gas is a collection of tiny particles separated from one another by large empty space and moving rapidly at random in all the directions. In the course of their motion, they collide with one another and also with the walls of the container. Due to frequent collisions, speeds and direction of motion of molecules keeps on changing. Thus, all the molecules in a sample of a gas do not have same speeds.
17.
According to the kinetic theory of gases, in an ideal gas, between two successive collisions a gas molecule travels
A
in a wavy path
B
in a straight line path
C
with an accelerated velocity
D
in a circular path
Answer :
in a straight line path
According to kinetic theory the gas molecules are in a state of constant rapid motion in all possible directions colloiding in a random manner with one another and with the walls of the container and between two successive collisions molecules travel in a straight line path but show haphazard motion due to collisions.

Equal moles of hydrogen and oxygen gases are placed in container with a pin-hole through which both can escape. What fraction of the oxygen escapes in the time required for one-half of the hydrogen to escape?
A
$$\frac{1}{4}$$
B
$$\frac{3}{8}$$
C
$$\frac{1}{2}$$
D
$$\frac{1}{8}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{1}{8}$$
Given, number of moles of hydrogen $$\left( {{n_{{H_2}}}} \right)$$ and that of oxygen $$\left( {{n_{{O_2}}}} \right)$$ are equal.
∴ We have, the relation between ratio of number of moles escaped and ratio of molecular mass.
$$\frac{{{n_{{O_2}}}}}{{{n_{{H_2}}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{M_{{H_2}}}}}{{{M_{{O_2}}}}}} $$
where, $$M$$ = Molecular mass of the molecule.
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow \frac{{{n_{{O_2}}}}}{{{n_{{H_2}}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{2}{{32}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{{n_{{O_2}}}}}{{{n_{{H_2}}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{{16}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{{n_{{O_2}}}}}{{0.5}} = \frac{1}{4} \cr
& \Rightarrow {n_{{O_2}}} = \frac{{0.5}}{4} = \frac{1}{8} \cr} $$

A
simple cube

20.
In the equation of state of an ideal gas $$PV = nRT,$$ the value of the universal gas constant does not depend on
A
the nature of the gas
B
the pressure of the gas
C
the units of the measurement
D
both (A) and (B)
Answer :
both (A) and (B)
The value of universal gas constant can be expressed in different units and its value would depend only on the units of the measurement.
