For gaseous state, if most probable speed is denoted by C*, average speed by $\mathop C\limits^{\_\_}$ and mean square speed by C, then for a large number of molecules the ratios of these speeds are:
A
C*: $\mathop C\limits^{\_\_}$ : C = 1.128 : 1.225 : 1
B
C*: $\mathop C\limits^{\_\_}$ : C = 1.225 : 1.128 : 1
C
C*: $\mathop C\limits^{\_\_}$ : C = 1 : 1.225 : 1.128
D
C*: $\mathop C\limits^{\_\_}$ : C = 1 : 1.128 : 1.225

## Explanation

Most probable speed $\left( {{C^ * }} \right) = \sqrt {{{2RT} \over M}}$

Average Speed $\left( {\overline C } \right) = \sqrt {{{8RT} \over {\pi M}}}$

Root mean square velocity $\left( c \right) = \sqrt {{{3RT} \over M}}$

${C^ * }:\overline C :C = \sqrt {{{2RT} \over M}} :\sqrt {{{8RT} \over {\pi M}}} :\sqrt {{{3RT} \over M}}$

$= 1:\sqrt {{4 \over \pi }} :\sqrt {{3 \over 2}}$

$= 1:1.128:1.225$

### AIEEE 2012

The compressibility factor for a real gas at high pressure is :
A
1 + RT/pb
B
1
C
1 + pb/RT
D
1–pb/RT

## Explanation

$\left( {P + {a \over {{V^2}}}} \right)\left( {V - b} \right) = RT\,\,$

at high pressure ${a \over {{V^2}}}$ can be neglected

$PV - Pb = RT\,\,\,$

and $\,\,\,PV = RT + Pb$

${{PV} \over {RT}} = 1 + {{Pb} \over {RT}}$

$z = 1 + {{Pb} \over {RT}};Z > 1\,\,\,$ at high pressure

### AIEEE 2011

'a’ and `b’ are van der Waals’ constants for gases. Chlorine is more easily liquefied than ethane because
A
a and b for Cl2 < a and b for C2H6
B
a and b for Cl2 > a and b for C2H6
C
a for Cl2 > a for C2H6 and b Cl2 < b for C2H6
D
a for Cl2 < a for C2H6 and b Cl2 > b for C2H6

## Explanation

The value of $a$ is a measure of the magnitude of the attractive forces between the molecules of the gas. Greater the value of $'a',$ larger is the attractive inter-molecular force between the gas molecules.

The value of $b$ related to the effective size of the gas molecules. It is also termed as excluded volume.

The gases with higher value of $a$ and lower value of $b$ are more liquefiable, hence for $C{{\rm l}_2}$ $''a'''$ should be greater than for ${C_2}{H_6}$ but for it $b$ should be less than for ${C_2}{H_6}.$

### AIEEE 2010

If 10–4 dm3 of water is introduced into a 1.0 dm3 flask to 300 K, how many moles of water are in the vapour phase when equilibrium is established ?
(Given : Vapour pressure of H2O at 300 K is 3170 Pa ; R = 8.314 J K–1 mol–1)
A
5.56 x 10–3 mol
B
1.53 x 10–2 mol
C
4.46 x 10–2 mol
D
1.27 x 10–3 mol

## Explanation

From the ideal gas equation :

$PV = nRT\,\,$

or $\,\,\,n = {{PV} \over {RT}} = {{3170 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}} \over {8.314 \times 300}}$

$= 1.27 \times {10^{ - 3}}$
