(b) What are isotherms? What happen to the positions of
isotherms when they plotted at high temperature for a particular
w.a

gas.
(c) Why do we get a straight line when pressures exerted on
a gas are plotted against inverse of volumes. This straight line

changes its position in the graph by varying the temperature.

Justify it.
(d) How will you explain that the value of the constant k in
equation PV=k depends upon
(i) The temperature of the gas (ii) the quantity of the
gas.
Ans: (a) Isotherms: The P-V curves obtained at constant
temperature are called isotherms. These curves are obtained by

4
www.allonlinefree.com
 1st year n0tes chemistry new

plotting a graph between pressure on the x-axis and volume on

the y-axis. Similar curves are obtained at fixed temperatures.
When the isotherms (P-V curves are plotted at high
temperature, they go away from the axes. The reason is that, at
higher temperature, the volume of the gas increase.
Ans.(c) A plot of P versus gives a straight line at constant

om
temperature. This shows that p is directly proportional to . This
straight line will meet at the origin where both P and are zero.
The P goes down as the gas expands, falling away to zero as the

e.c
volume approaches infinity (= =0)
This straight line changes its position because both pressure
fre
and volume varies on varying the temperature. When
temperature is increased both pressure and volume will increase.
line
Keeping T constant and plotting P versus another straight line
is obtained. This straight line goes away from x-axis. However ,
when temperature is decreased both the values of P and V will
decrease. Again a straight line is obtained. This straight line will
llon

be closer to the x-axis

Ans.(d) General equation: PV=nRT _______(1)
The general gas equation contains the Boyle’s law, for which
w.a

K mT _______(3)
This relation indicates that
(i) k T; it means k depends upon the temperature of the

=-74.33oC Answer
ww

Ans.(c) We know that : V1 =Vo (1+)

At -273oC, V-273 = Vo (1-)= Vo (1-1) =Vo x0=0
The volume of the gas become zero at- 273oC. But it is impossible
to imagine that a
Gas which is matter occupies no space. It goes against the law of
conservation of mass.
Hence, it follows that -273oC is the lowest temperature which a
body can ever have. So -273o C is called the absolute zero of

6

 1st year n0tes chemistry new

temperature. The scale of temperature on which -273oC is taken as

zero is called absolute scale of temperature.
Q6. (a) What is Kelvin scale of temperature ? Plot a graph for
one mole of an ideal gas to prove that a gas become liquid, carlier than
-273o C .
(b) Throw some light on the factor in Charles’s law.

om
Ans.(b) In Charles’s law, the factor (0.00366 ) is the coefficient of
expansion of given mass of gas at constant pressure. It shows
that a gas expands by parts of its volume at 0o C for a rise of

e.c
temperature of 1oC.
Statement of Charles’s Law: “At constant pressure, the volume
of a given mass of gas increases or decreases by of its volume
fre
at0oC for every 1oC rise or fall in temperature .”
Mathematically.
line
Vt -=Vo +
It means that if we have 273 cm3 of gas at 0oC, its volume
will increase by 1 cm3 for every 1oC rise in temperature if it is
llon

heated at constant pressure Thus,

At 1oC , the volume will become 274 cm3.
At 2oC , the volume will become 271 cm3.
At 273oC , the volume will become 0 cm3.
w.a

Similarly, if the gas is cooled by 1oC at constant pressure, its

volume will decrease by 1 cm3 . Thus,
At -1oC , the volume of the gas becomes 272 cm3.
ww

At -2oC , the volume of the gas becomes 275 cm3.

At -273oC , the volume of the gas becomes 546 cm3.
Q7. (a) What is the general gas equation? Derive it in various
forms.
(b) Can we determine the molecular mass of an unknown gas
if we know the pressure, temperature and volume along with
the mass of that gas?

7

(c) How do you justify from general gas equation that increase
in temperature or decrease of pressure decreases the density
of gas?
(d) Why do we feel comfortable in expressing the densities of
gases in the units of g dm-3 rather than g cm-3, a which is used
to express the densities of liquids and solids.

om
Ans.(b) Yes, we can determine the molecular mass of an
unknown gas if we know its, P,T,V and m by applying the
following formula:

e.c
M=
Ans.(c) We know form general gas equation,
d=
d=constant x fre
(M and R being constant)
d=
line
Density is directly proportional to pressure and
inversely proportional to temperature or decrease of pressure,
decreases the density of the gas.
llon

Ans.(d) The densities of gases are very low. They are about 1000
times smaller than the densities of liquids and solids. So, if gas
densities are expressed in g cm-3, then the values will be very
w.a

small. They may go to fourth place of decimal for some gases.

When we express the densities in g dm-3, then the values of the
densities become reasonable to be expressed. For example, the
ww

density of CH4 gas is 0.7168 g dm-3 at STP, but if it is expressed

in g cm-3 , then it is 0.0007168 g cm-3 at STP. Therefore, we feel
comfortable in expressing the densities of gases in the units of g
dm-3 rather than in g cm-3.

Q8. Derive the units for gas constant R in general gas equation:
(a) When the pressure is in atmosphere and volume in dm3.

Q9. (a) what is Avogadro’s law of gases?

(b) Do you think that 1 mole of H2 and 1 mole NH3 at 0oC and 1
atm pressure will have equal Avogadro’s number of
particles? If not, why?

om
(c) Justify that 1 cm3 of H2 and 1 cm3 of CH4 at STP will have
the same number of molecules, when one molecules of CH 4
is 8 times heavier than that of hydrogen.

e.c
Ans (b) 1 mole of H2 and 1 mole of NH3 at 0oC and 1 atm pressure
will have equal number of molecules under the same conditions
fre
of temperature and pressure. Hence, 1 cm3 of H2 and 1 cm3 of
CH4 at STP will have the same number of molecules.

Q10. (a) Dalton’s law of partial pressure is only obeyed by those
gases which do not have attractive forces among their molecules.
Explain it.
llon

(c) Derive an equation to find out the partial pressure of a

gas knowing the individual moles of component gases and
the total pressure of the mixture.
(d) Explain that the process of respiration obeys the
w.a

Dalton’s law of partial pressure.

(e) How do you differentiate between diffusion and
effusion? Explain Graham’s law of diffusion.
ww

Ans. (a) For Dalton’s law of partial pressure to hold, there will be
no attractive forces among the molecules on the walls of the gases.
The pressure of a gas is due to the collisions of the molecules on
the walls of the container. In the absence of attractive forces each
molecules of gas mixture will hit the walls of the container with
the same number of times and with the same force. Thus the partial
pressure of a given gas is unaffected by the presence of other
gases. In this case, the total pressure. Hence the law will not hold
in the presence of attractive forces among the molecules.

Ans. (a) Importance of Critical temperature for liquefaction of
gases.
The critical temperature of the gases provides us the

e.c
information about the
Condition under which gases liquefy. For example,O2 ,has a

Q13. (a) Gases show non-ideal behavior at low temperature and

high pressure.
Explain this with the help of a graph.
ww

(b) Do you think that some of the postulates of Kinetic

molecular theory of gases are faulty? Point out these
postulates.
(c) Hydrogen and helium are ideal at room temperature, but
SO2 and C12 are non ideal. How will you explain this?
Ans. (c) Hydrogen (b.p-253oC) and helium b.p-269oC)have a very
low boiling points .They are far away from their boiling points at
room temperature. Also, they have smaller number of electrons in
their molecules and smaller molecular sizes, i.e., molecular weight.
10
www.allonlinefree.com
 1st year n0tes chemistry new

So, intermolecular forces are negligible at room temperature.

Hence, they behave as an ideal gases at room temperature.
On the other hand, SO2 (b.p-10oC) and C12 (b.p-34oC)
have boiling points near to room temperature. They are not far
away from their boiling points at room temperature. Also, they
have larger number of electrons in their molecules and larger

om
molecular sizes. So, sufficient intermolecular attractive forces are
present at room temperature. Hence, they behave as non-ideal at
room temperature.

(a) The plot of PV versus P is a straight line at constant
temperature and with a fixed number of moles of an ideal
gas.

om
(b) The straight line in (a) is parallel to pressure-axis and goes
away from the pressure axis at higher pressure for many
gases.

e.c
(c) The van der walls constant ‘b’ of a gas is four times the
molar volume of that gas
(d) Pressure of NH3 gas at given conditions (say 1 atm pressure
fre
and room temperature) is less as calculated by van der Waals
equation than that calculated by general gas equation.
line
(e) Water vapors do not behave ideally at 273 k.
(f) SO2 is comparatively non-ideal at 273 k but behaves ideally
at 327 K.
llon

Ans. (a) At constant temperature and with a fixed number of

moles of an ideal gas, when the pressure of the gas is varied, its
volume changes, but the product PV remains constant. Thus,
P1 V1 = P2 V2 = P3 V3 =
w.a

Hence, for any fixed temperature, the product PV when plotted

against P.a straight line parallel to P-axis is obtained. This straight
line indicates that PV remains constant quantity.

Ans. (b) Now, increase the temperature of the same from T1 to T2

.At constant temperature T2 and with the same fixed number of
moles of an ideal gas, when the constant. However, the value of
PV increase with increase in temperature. On plotting graph
between P on x-axis is obtained. This straight line at T2 will be
away from the x-axis. This straight line also shows that PV is a
constant quantity.
Ans. (c) Excluded volume, ‘b’ is four times the molar volume
fo gas. The excluding with each other as shown in Fig. The spheres
12
www.allonlinefree.com
 1st year n0tes chemistry new

are considered to be non-compressible. So the molecules cannot

approach each other more closely than the distance, 2r . Therefore,
the space indicated by the dotted sphere having radius, 2r will not
be available to all other molecules of the gas. In other words, the
dotted spherical space is excluded volume per pair of molecules.
Let each molecules be a sphere with radius =r

The excluded volume for ‘n’ molecules=n b
Where Vm is the actual volume of a molecule.
Hence, the excluded volume or co-volume or non-compressible
llon

volume is equal to 4 times the actual volume of the molecules of

the gas.
Ans. (d) The pressure of NH3 calculated by general gas equation is
high because it is considered as an ideal gas. In an ideal gas, the
w.a

molecules do not exert any force of attraction on one another. On

the other hand, when the pressure of NH3 is considered as a real
gas. Actually, NH3 is a real gas. It consists of polar NH3 molecules
ww

approaches the walls of the container, it experiences an inward

pull. Clearly, the molecule strikes the wall with a lesser force than
it would have done it these are no attractive forces. As a result of
this , the real gas pressure is less than the ideal pressure.
Ans. (e) Water vapors present at 273K do not behave ideally
because polar water molecules exert force of attraction on one
another.
Ans. (f) At low temperature, the molecules of SO2 possess low
kinetic energy. They come close to each other. The e

intermolecular attractive forces become very high. So, it behave

non-ideally at 273K. At high temperature, the molecules of SO2
have high kinetic energy. The molecules are at larger distances
from one other another. The intermolecular attractive forces
become very weak. So, it behaves ideally at 327K.
