Gaseous State_RP

Density and Molecular weight

From the ideal gas equation

P =

∴ M =

Hence from a knowledge of d/P density under unit pressure molecular weight can be determined. At low pressure below 1 atm d/p has been found to decrease linearly with pressure. Extrapolation of the line to zero pressure

P = 0 gives the ideal value of (d/P) at P → 0

∴ M = RT

 

Mean Free Path

The average distance covered by a molecule between two successive collisions is called mean free path and is denoted by . ∴  = where n = no. of molecules/cc. Again, if P & T denote the pressure and temperature of the gas, from kinetic theory.

P × 10–3 = RT or n =

∴  =

Thus mean free path is directly proportional to temperature and inversely to pressure.

Critical state

Gases are usually liquefied by lowering or temperature and increase in pressure. Of these two factors the influence of temperature is important. For every gas there is a temperature above which liquefaction is impossible whatever the pressure be.

The limiting temperature above which liquefaction is impossible is called critical temperature (TC) of the gas. The minimum pressure necessary to liquefy a gas at critical temperature is called its critical pressure. The volume occupied by a 1 gm mole of substance at critical temperature and pressure is called critical volume.

At critical point

For Vander Waal’s gas

VC = 3b, PC = TC =

= 2.66

a = 3PCVC2, b = VC =

Boyle Temperature

The temperature at which real gas Obeys Boyle’s Law. The minimum of PV – P curve is on the PV axis (i.e. P = 0).

Hence for Boyle point at P = 0 = 0

For Vander Waal’s gas = TB =

Reduced Equation State

Since critical constants are definite quantities for a gas, it is possible to express its P, V, T as multiples or sub-multiples of critical values let us say.

P = πPC; V = φVC, T = θTC

Where π, φ, θ are called reduced pressure, reduced volume and reduced temperature.

The Vander Waal’s equation may be changed as

(V – b) = RT [for 1 mole of gas]

(θφVC – b) = RθTC

(3φb – b) =

(3φ + 1) = 8θ

This is called law of corresponding states.

Relative Humidity (RH)

At a given temperature it is given

RH =

Separation Factor

If isotopic enrichment is to be increased the number of operations can be calculated by overall separation factor f.

Overall separation factor f =

Where n1, n2, n′1, n′2 are the concentration of two isotopes before and after processing. 

Theoretical separation factor for a single step f′ =

If required enrichment of species in attained after x times then (f′)x = = f

or x logf′ =

or x =

 

Illustration 1: Calculate the pressure exerted on the walls of a 3 lit flask when 7 gms of N2 are introduced into the same at 27°C.

Solution: P =

Illustration 2: At what temperature will the r.m.s. velocity of oxygen be one and half times of its value at N.T.P.

Solution:

Solution: P1V1 = Z1nRT1 and P2V2 = Z2nRT2

or V2 =

= = 370.1 ml

Illustration 4: Calculate Vander Waals constant for ethylene 

TC = 282.8 k; PC = 50 atm

Illustration 6: A gaseous hydrocarbon requires 6 times its own volume of O2 for complete oxidation and produces 4 times its volume of CO2. What is its formula.

Solution: The balanced equation for combustion

1 volume volume

= 6 (by equation)

or 4x + y = 24 …(1)

Again x = 4 since evolved CO2 is 4 times that of hydrocarbon 

∴ 16 + y = 24 or y = 8 ∴ formula of hydrocarbon C4H8

Exercise 6: The average speed at T1k and the most probable speed at T2k of CO2 gas is 9 ×104 cm sec–1. Calculate the value of T1 and T2.

 

Solution to Exercises

 

Exercise 1: Suppose the volume of bulb is V containing n moles at 19°C (i.e. 292 K) let the temperature be TK when n moles increases to 1.25 (i.e. by 25%). Since 1.25n moles at TK occupy a volume V.

∴ n moles at TK should occupy = ml

Applying

or, T = = 233.6K = – 39.4°C

Exercise 2: Since 35.45 is the average atomic weight of 35Cl and 37Cl we have 

= 35.45

= 3.42. n1 : n2 = 3.44 : 1

∴ Ratio of lengths is 3.44 : 1

Since the pressure on both sides of the partition is equal the pressure before and after partition will be same. (no. of moles per unit volume is same)

Exercise 3: Volume occupied by 1 mole of O3 at 20°C and 82 cm pressure

= 22400 × = 22282 ml

p = 82 × 13.6 × 981 dynes cm–2

Now we have,

= 3.9 × 104 cm sec–1

Exercise 4: Applying Vander Waal’s equation for n moles

(V – nb) = nRT

(5.2 – 2 × 0.037) = 2 × 0.082 × 300

or, p = 9.33 atm

Exercise 5: We have,

or,  ∴ Mmix= 34.921

As the mixture contains 20% of X the molar ratio of O2 and x may be represented as 0.8 n : 0.2 n

n being total no. of moles

Mmix = = 34.921

∴ Mx = 46.6

Exercise 6: We know for 1 mole of an ideal gas

r.m.s. speed =

r.m.s. speed : average speed : most probable speed

= 1 : 0.9211 : 0.8165

Average speed at T1k = 0.9211 × = 9 ×104

∴ most probable speed at T2K = 0.8165 × = 9 × 104

Substituting R = 8.314 × 107 ergs K–1 mole–1

And M = 44 we get T1 = 168 K T2 = 2143 K

When one of the bulbs is maintained at 127°C i.e. 400K & other at 300 K let the moles of H2 in these bulbs be n1 & n2 respectively.

n1 + n2 = 0.7 …(1)

Since stopcock is open, the pressure in each bulb

Will be same let it be p atm. Thus for bulb at 400K

pV = n1 × 0.082 × 400 

or  17.22 p = 32.8 n1 or p = 1.9 n1 …(2)

For 2nd bulb at 300 K

p × 17.22 = n1 × 0.082 × 300

p = 1.42 n2 …(3)

From equation (1), (2) and (3) p = 0.571 atm

n1 = 0.3 mole n2 = 0.4 mole

  1. HCO2H ⎯→ H2O + CO

a mole a mole

a mole a mole

Decomposition of HCO2H (a mole) and H2C2O4 (b mole)

H2C2O4 ⎯→ H2O + CO + CO2

b b b mole no. 

b b b volume      after decomposition

H2O is absorbed by H2SO4 and CO2 is absorbed by KOH

Thus as given,  

or = 4

The molar ratio of HCO2H & H2C2O4 = 4 :1

  1. On combustion in O2 all carbon and hydrogen atms of the compound are converted into CO2 and H2O respectively.

44 gm CO2 having 12 gm C

∴ 0.195 gm CO2 having 0.0531 gm C

Similarly 0.0804 gm H2O contain 0.0089 gm H2.

Hence 0.22 gm compound contain 0.0531 gm C, 0.0089 gm H2 & 0.158 gm H2

∴ % of C = 24.13%; H = 4.04% Cl = 71.8%

or V weights = 12 gm

22400 ml weights 98.5 gm

The empirical formula is CH2Cl

Molecular formula (CH2Cl)n

Let volume of 0.12g compound occupies V ml at N.T.P. then

Molecular weight = 98.5

∴ 12 n + 2n + 35.5 n = 49.5n = 98 or n = 2

∴ molecular formula = C2H4Cl2

  1. Reactions are CH4 + 2O2 ⎯→ CO2 + 2H2O

C2H4 + 3O2 ⎯→ 2CO2 + 2H2O

Let volume of CH4, C2H4 x and y ml

∴ volume of CO2 = 10 – (x + y)ml

1st volume contraction = (x + 2y + y + 3y) – (x + 2y) = 2x + 2y

By question, 2x + 2y = 17

or 2x = 17 – 8 = 9 or x = 4.5

Because y = 4 [total volume of CO2 = x + 2y + 10 – x – y = 14]

∴ y = 4

Hence volume of C2H4 = 4.5 ml

Volume of CH4 = 4 ml

Volume of CO2 = 1.5 ml

% of CH4 = = 45%

% of C2H4 = = 40%

% of CO2  = = 15%

  1. Let the volume of gas mixture at N.T.P. be V ml

V ml = 2730 ml

According to problem

100 ml mixture contain 20 ml methane 60 ml CO and 20 ml H2

∴ Volume of methane in 2730 ml of mixture = = 546 ml

Volume of CO= = 1638 ml

Volume of Hg = (2730 – 546 – 1638) = 546 ml

The reactions are

CH4 + 2O2 ⎯→ CO2 + H2O …(1)

2CO + O2 ⎯→ 2CO2 …(2)

2H2 + O2 ⎯→ 2H2O …(3)

∴ Total volume of O2 required for oxidation of

546 ml CH4, 1638 ml CO & 546 ml H2 are

= ml = 2184 ml

Again 2KClO3 ⎯→ 2KCl + 3O2

3 × 22.4 lit of O2  at NTP are obtained from 245 gm of KClO3

2.184 lit of O2 at NTP are obtained from of KClO3 = 7.96g of KClO3

  1. Mg + 2HCl ⎯→ MgCl2 + H2

24g 22.4 lit at N.T.P.

2Al + 6HCl ⎯→ 2AlCl3 + 3H2

2 × 27 = 54g 3 × 22.4 lit at N.T.P.

Let V be volume of liberated H2 at N.T.P.

or V = 1103.7 ml

Let weight of Mg in alloy be x gm ∴ wt. of Al = (1 – x)g

∴ By problem, (1 – x) = 1103.7

∴ x = 0.4525, % of Al = 54.75%

∴ Wt. of Mg = 0.4525g

Wt. of Al = (1 – 0.4525)g = 0.5475gm

% of Mg = 45.25

  1. When the mixture of gases is passed over hot copper, N2 will remain unchanged but NO will be reduced by Cu to N2

2Cu + 2NO ⎯→ 2CuO + N2

Let x cc of N2 be present in 25cc mixture. Hence the volume of NO in the mixture is (25 – x)cc

From the equation under same conditions of temperature and pressure 2 volume of NO gives 1 volume of N2

(25 – x)cc NO will give cc of N2

Total volume after the reaction = cc

By question, = 20 or x = 15cc

So the mixture contains 15cc N2 and (25 – 15) or 10cc NO

Hence percentage of N2 = = 60%

Percentage of NO = = 40%

Hence α = = = 0.523

The fraction of gas molecules decomposed = 0.523

% of NO2 molecules by weight = 52.3%

Again in the mixture the ratio of gm moles of NO2 and N2O4 is

∴ % of NO2 by volume = × 100 = 68.7%

After diffusion H2 = 0.1g

H2 diffuses from I = 0.1g

Now for diffusion D2 + H2

or

or

∴ Wt. of gases in II bulb = Wt. of H2 + Wt. of O2

= (0.1 + 0.14)g = 0.24g

% of D2 by weight = = 58.33%

% of H2 in bulb II = 41.67%

  1. a) Volume of 1 molecule = πr3

  1. b) The volume occupied by N molecules = N × V1

= 6.023 × 1023 × 1.41 × 10–23

∴ Volume of 1 mole of N2 = 22400 ml of STP
