The Dalton's law of partial pressures states that `At Constant temperature, the
pressure discerted by a mixture of two or more non reacting gases enclosed in a
definite volume, is equal to the sum of the individual pressures which each gas

The individual pressure of gases are known as partial pressures.

If P is the total pressure of the mixture of non reacting gases at

different directions. This is due to orderly

Question 29
What is heat of vaporisation in a liquid?
Ans.
Heat of Vaporisation :- The amount of heat required to convert a liquid into gas
at a constant temperature is known as the heat of vaporisation. Molar heat of
vaporisation (__∆_ Hvap) is defined as the amount of heat required to convert
one mole of a liquid to gas at a constant temperature. A liquid having stronger
attractive forces has higher value of heat of vaporisation. Water has relatively
high heat of vaporisation because of strong hydrogen bonds among its
molecules. When one mole of water evaporates at 298k it absorbs 44.180 KJ of
energy.

H2O(e) ------------ H2O(g) ; ∆Hvap = + 44.180 KJ

The molar heat of vaporisation of water at 298 K is thus, 44.180
KJ. Frederick Trouton, in 1884, discovered that for many liquid
molar heat of vaporisation in calories per mole divided by the
normal boiling point in degree kelvin is a constant : 21
Cal/Kmol.
∆Hvap = 21 Cal K-1 mol -1
Tb
The above mentioned rule is known as Trouton's rule. This rule
is only approximate.
Heat of vaporisation for Benzeneis 30.8 KJ/mol at its boiling
point.
Question 30
What do you mean by presure of a gas? How would you
measure the atmospheric pressure?
Ans.
Pressure of a gas :- A gas enclosed in a vessel exerts on outward force its
walls.The outward force per unit area of the walls is termed as gas pressure.

The SL unit of pressure is neuton per square metre (Nm-2) which

is also called pascal (Pa).
Atmospheric pressure and its measurement - The earth is
surrounded by a thick blanket of air called atmosphere. The
pressure exerted by the gases of the atmosphere on the surface
of the earth is called atmospheric pressure.

The atmosheric pressure can be measured by a simple device

called barometer. A simple borometer can be made by filling
mercury in a tube (Longer than 76 cm.) closed at one end and
inverting it in an open vessel containing mercury. The mercury
level in the tube adjusts itself and stands approximately 76 cm
above the level of mercury in the open vessel.

The height of mercury column in the tube gives a measure of

atmospheric pressure. The height of the column decreases
when the pressure of the atmosphere decreases whereas the
height of the column increases with the increase in the
atmospheric pressure.

Draw a diagram
Question 31
What information does a chemical equation convey?
Ans.
A Chemical equation conveys bath qualitative as well quantitative information..

1.Qualitative:- A Chemical equation tells us the names of the

various reactants and products.

2.Quantitative:- It expresses.
(a) The relative number of molecules of the reactants and
products taking part in the reaction.
(b) The relative number of moles of reactants and products.

Thomson, Neils Bohr, Chadurick and others who revealed the

inner structure of atom. In the light of their findings Dalton's
Atomic theory was suitably modified. The main modifications
made in thie theory are as follows-

(I) Atom is no longer considered to be indivisible- It has been

found that an atom has a complete structure and is composed
of sub atomic particles such as a electrons., protons and
neutrons.

(ii) Atom of the same element may not be similar in all respects
Atoms of same element may possess different relative masses.
For example we have two different types of atoms of chlorine
with relative masses 35 a.m.u and 37 a.m.u respectively. Such
atoms of the same element which possess different masses are
called isotopes.

(iii) Atoms of different elements may be similar in one or more

respects - There are certain atoms of different elements which
possess same relative masses. For example, relative mass of
calciun and argon is same (40 a.m.u). Such atoms of different
elements which possess same mass are called isobars.

(iv) Atom is the smallest unit which takes part an chemical

reactions: Though atom is composed of sub-atomic particles,
yet it is the smallest particle which takes part in chemical
reactions.

(v) The rate in which atoms unite may be fixed and integral but
may not be simple -- For Example in sugar molecule (C12 H22 011)
the rate of C, H and O atoms is 12:22:11 which is not simple.

(vi) Atoms of one element can be changed into atoms of

(a) The relative masses of reactants and products.

Question 33
State Modifications in modern Atomic theory over
Dalton's Atomic theory.
Ans.
Modern Atomic Theory :- Towards the end of 19th century and in the beginning
of 20th Century new discoveries were made by Sir T.T. other element -- For
example, atoms of nitrogen can be changed into oxcygen atoms by interaction
with xrays. This is called transmutation.

The mass of atom can be changed into energy -- According to

Einstein's equation E=mc2 CE = Energy, m = mass, C= the
velocity of light i.e. 3x10 10 cm sec_1, mass and energy are
inter convertible. Thus, atom is no longer indestructible.
Hwever, during chemical reactions, atom remains unchanged.
Question 34
Define Dipole moment. What are its applications?
Ans.
Dipole moment - Dipole moment is defined as the product of the magnitude of
charge on any one of the atoms and the distance between them. Dipole moment
is represented by a Greek Letter 'M'. It cen be escpressed methomatically as --
M = exd

Where e = Charge on any one of the atoms

d = Distance between the atoms.

Since the charge 'e' is of the order of 10 -10 e.s.u and 'd' is of the
order of 10-8 cm, then M, which is the product of 'd' and 'e' is of
the order of 10-18, e.s.u cm. This unit is Debye and is
represented by D.Thus,
1D = 1x10-18 e.s.u. cm

For example dipole moment of HC is 1.03x10-18 e.s.u c.m. and is

expressed as 1.03 D.

Applications of dipole moment - Some of the applications are as

follows-

(I) Distanction between polar and non-polar molecules-- The

molecules having dipole moment are called polar molecules
whereas molecules having zero dipole momemt are said to be
non-polar molecules. For example --

(a) Molecules such as H2, Nz, Oz Clz etc. have been polar bonds
and zero value of dipole moment.

(b) Molecules such as Co2, Bf3, CH4 etc have polar bonds but
zero value of dipole moment.

(c) Molecules such as HF, HCE, NH3, H2O, Nf3 have polar bonds
and their dipole moment is greater then zero. They are polar
molecules.

(ii) Tonic Character in a molecule -- Dipole moment gives an

idea about the ionic character in a bond or a molecule, For
example calculating the percentage of ionic character in Hcl
molecule. Experiments have shown that the dipole moment of
Hcl is 1.03 D and its bond length is 1.257 A: Now for 100% ionic
character to charge development on H and cl atoms would be
4.8x10-10 e.s.u. Therefore, dipole moment in case of 100% ionic
character is given as :
M ionic = 4.8x10-10 x 1.275x10-8 e.s.u cm
