32
Q

33
Q

37
Q

The three fundamental laws which connect the relation between pressure, volume temps and temperature are as follows:

A

1) Boyle’s Law

2) Charles’s law

3) Avogadro’s law

38
Q

Boyle s law

A

When the temperature of a gas is kept constant, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Ρα 1/V
In other words, for an invariable mass of a perfect gas, at constant temperature, the product of its pressure and volume is a constant.

(i.e) PV constant

39
Q

Charles’s law (The law of volume)

A

Charles’s law was formulated by a French scientist Jacques Charles. According to this law, When the pressure of gas is kept constant, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

V α T
or
V/T= constant

40
Q
A

Avogadro’s law states ich that at constant pressure and he temperature, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to number of atoms or molecules present in it

i.e. Vαn (or) V /n = constant

41
Q

Avogadro’s number

A

Avogadro’s number (NA) is the total number of atoms per mole of the substance. It is equal to 6.023 × 10²³/mol.

42
Q

Gases are classified as

A

real gases and ideal gases.

43
Q

real gases

A

If the molecules or atoms of a gases interact with each other with a definite amount of intermolecular or inter atomic force of attraction, then the gases are said to be real gases

44
Q

At very high temperature or low pressure, a real gases behaves as an ideal gases

A

because in this condition there is no interatomicor intermolecular force of attraction.

45
Q

If the atoms or molecules of a gas do not interact with each other, then the gas is said.to be an

A

ideal gas or a perfect gas.

46
Q

Actually, in practice, no gas is ideal. The molecules of any gas will have a certain amount of interaction among them. But, these interactions are weaker when the pressure is low or the temperature is high because the interatomic or intermolecular forces of attraction are weak in ideal gas.

A

Hence, a real gas at low pressure or high temperature can be termed as a perfect gas.

47
Q

The Boltzmann constant is defined to be exactly

A

1.380×10−23 J⋅K−¹.

48
Q

term as universal gas constant
μNakB=R

A

8.31J mol-¹K-¹

49
Q

Ideal gas equation is also called as equation of state

A

because it gives the relation between the state variables and it is used to describe the state of any gas.

50
Q

Ideal gas equation, also called as equation of state is PV = RT. Here, R is known as universal gas constant whose value is

A

8.31 J mol-¹K-¹

51
Q

A container whose capacity is 70 ml is filled with a liquid up to 50 ml. Then, the liquid in the container is heated. Initially, the level of the liquid falls from 50 ml to 48.5 ml. Then we heat more, the level of the liquid rises to 51.2 ml. Find the apparent and real expansion.

A

Level of the liquid L₁ = 50 ml

Level of the liquid L₂ = 48.5 ml

Level of the liquid L3 = 51.2 ml

Apparent expansion = L3 - L₁
= 51.2 ml-50 ml = 1.2ml
Real expansion = L3 - L₂
= 51.2 ml - 48.5ml = 2.7ml

So, Real expansion > apparent expansion

52
Q

Keeping the temperature as constant, a gas is compressed four times of its initial pressure. The volume of gas in the container changing from 20cc ({V1 cc) to V2} . Find the final volume V2

A

Reason: Heat always flows from a region of lower temperature to higher temperature of the rod.

A

Assertion is true but the reason is false.

62

65
Q

If you keep ice at 0°C and water at 0°C either of your hands, in which hand you will feel more chillness? Why?

A

Because water has the hidden heat called latent heat

Reason: The 0°C ice takes more heat from hand equal to mL, to convert 0°C Ice water, 0°C as compared to 0°C water of same mass.
