d) \[PV=\frac{2}{3}kT\]

  Discussion

Answer: d
Explanation:

b) 2
c) 1
d) 1/4

  Discussion

Answer: c
Explanation:
q22

3.The r.m.s velocity of hydrogen is \[\sqrt{7}\] times the r.m.s velocity of nitrogen. If T is the temperature of the gas , than
a) \[T\left(H_{2}\right)=T\left(N_{2}\right)\]
b) \[T\left(H_{2}\right)>T\left(N_{2}\right)\]
c) \[T\left(H_{2}\right)<T\left(N_{2}\right)\]

Explanation:
q23

4. The r.m.s velocity of \[CO_{2}\] at temperature T (in kelvin) is \[x cms^{-1}\] . At what temperature (in kelvin) the r.m.s. velocity of nitrous oxide would be \[4x cms^{-1}\] ?
a) 16 T
b) 2 T
c) 4 T
d) 32 T

  Discussion

Answer: a
Explanation:
q24

5. Which of the following has maximum root mean square velocity at the same temperature?
a) \[SO_{2}\]
b) \[CO_{2}\]
c) \[O_{2}\]
d) \[H_{2}\]

  Discussion

Answer: d
Explanation: \[U \propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}} \]   hence hydrogen (molecular weight being the lowest) has the maximum root mean square velocity

6. Density ratio of \[O_{2} and H_{2}\]  is 16:1. The ratio of their r.m.s. velocities will be
a) 4 : 1
b) 1 : 16
c) 1 : 4
d) 16 : 1

  Discussion

Answer: c
Explanation: \[\frac{U_{1}}{U_{2}}= \sqrt{\frac{d_{2}}{d_{1}}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{16}} = 1:4\]

7. At what temperature the RMS velocity of \[SO_{2} \] be same as that of \[O_{2} \] at 303 K ?
a) 273 K
b) 606 K
c) 303 K
d) 403 K

  Discussion

Answer: b
Explanation: Apply \[\frac{U_{1}}{U_{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{T_{1}M_{2}}{T_{2}M_{1}}} \]

8. The temperature of an ideal gas is reduced from 927ºC to 27ºC. the r.m.s. velocity of the molecules becomes
a) double the inital value
b) half of the initial value
c) four times the initial value
d) ten times the initial value

  Discussion

Answer: b
Explanation:
q28

9. If the average velocity of \[N_{2} \] molecues is 0.3 m/s at 27ºC, then the velocity of 0.6 m/s will take place at
a) 273 K
b) 927 K
c) 1000 K
d) 1200 K

  Discussion

Answer: d
Explanation: 1200 K

10. Gas deviates from ideal gas nature because molecules
a) are colouress
b) attaract each other
c) contain covalent bond
d) show Brownian movement

  Discussion

Answer: b
Explanation: Due to intermolecular interactions appreciable at high P and low T, the ideal gas deviates from ideal behaviour.
