1. ⇒ (NEET 2023 Manipur )

A container of volume 200   cm 3 contains 0.2 mole of hydrogen gas and 0.3 mole of argon gas. The pressure of the system at temperature 200   K ( R = 8.3 JK 1   mol 1 ) will be :-

(A) 6.15 × 10 5   Pa

(B) 6.15 × 10 4   Pa

(C) 4.15 × 10 5   Pa

(D) 4.15 × 10 6   Pa

Correct answer is (D)

P mix  = ( μ 1 + μ 2 ) RT mix  V mix  = ( 0.2 + 0.3 ) × 8.3 × 200 200 × 10 6 = 0.5 × 8.3 × 200 200 × 10 6 P mix  = 4.15 × 10 6 P a

2. ⇒ (NEET 2022 Phase 1 )

The volume occupied by the molecules contained in 4.5 kg water at STP, if the intermolecular forces vanish away is

(A) 5.6 × 106 m3

(B) 5.6 × 103 m3

(C) 5.6 × 10 3 m3

(D) 5.6 m3

Correct answer is (D)

From ideal gas equation

P V = n R T

[ n = m a s s o f w a t e r m o l . w t . = 4.5 × 10 3 18 ]

V = n R T P

At S T P T = 273 K

P = 10 5 N/m2

V = 4.5 × 10 3 18 × 8.3 × 273 10 5 = 5.66 m3

3. ⇒ (NEET 2020 Phase 1 )

A cylinder contains hydrogen gas at pressure 249 kPa and temperature 27 C
Its density is : (R = 8.3 J mol-1 K-1)

(A) 0.2 kg/m3

(B) 0.1 kg/m3

(C) 0.02 kg/m3

(D) 0.5 kg/m3

Correct answer is (A)

From the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT also
Volume (V) = m a s s ( M ) d e n s i t y ( ρ )
So, PM = ρ RT
P = 249 × 103 N/m2
M = 2 × 10-3 kg
T = 333 K
ρ = ( 249 × 10 3 ) ( 2 × 10 3 ) 8.3 × 300
= 0.2 kg/m3

4. ⇒ (NEET 2016 Phase 2 )

A given sample of an ideal gas occupies a volume V at a pressure P and absolute temperature T. The mass of each molecule of the gas is m. Which of the following gives the density of the gas ?

(A) P/(kT)

(B) Pm/(kT)

(C) P/(KTV)

(D) mkT

Correct answer is (B)

As PV = nRT

n = P V R T = m a s s m o l a r m a s s    ...(i)

Density, ρ = m a s s v o l u m e = ( m o l a r m a s s ) P R T = ( m N A ) P R T
   [From eqn. (i)]

ρ = m P k T     ( R = N A k )

5. ⇒ (AIPMT 2015 )

Two vessels separately contain two ideal gases A and B at the same temperature, the pressure of A being twice that of B. Under such conditions, the density of A is found to be 1.5 times the density of B. The ratio of molecular weight of A and B is

(A) 2

(B) 1 2

(C) 2 3

(D) 3 4

Correct answer is (D)

From PV = nRT

P A = ρ A M A R T and P B = ρ B M B R T

From question,

P A P B = ρ A ρ B M A M B = 2 M A M B = 3 2

M A M B = 3 4

6. ⇒ (NEET 2013 )

In the given (V T) diagram, what is the relation between pressure P1 and P2?

NEET 2013 Physics - Heat and Thermodynamics Question 55 English

(A) P2 < P1

(B) Carnot be predicted

(C) P2 = P1

(D) P2 > P1

Correct answer is (A)

NEET 2013 Physics - Heat and Thermodynamics Question 55 English Explanation
According to ideal gas equation PV = nRT

V = n R T P

For an isobaric process, P = constant and V T
Therefore, V – T graph is a straight line passing through origin. Slope of this line is inversely proportional to P.
In the given figure,

(Slope)2 > (Slope)1    P2 < P1

7. ⇒ (AIPMT 2008 )

At 10oC the value of the density of a fixed mass of an ideal gas divided by it pressure is x. At 110oC this ratio is

(A) 10 110 x

(B) 283 383 x

(C) x

(D) 383 283 x

Correct answer is (B)

PV = nRT

P V = m M R T

P V m = R T M

P ρ = R T M

P ρ T

P ρ 1 T

P 1 ρ 1 P 2 ρ 2 = T 1 T 2 = 383 283

x P 2 P 2 = 383 283

P 2 P 2 = 383 283 x

(B) PV = 5RT

(C) PV = (5/2)RT

(D) PV = (5/16) RT

Correct answer is (A)

As PV = nRT

n = m m o l e c u l a r m a s s = 5 32

P V = ( 5 32 ) R T
