1. A certain mountain is 14,100 feet above sea-level. The pressure at the top is 17.7 inches of Hg. If
you blew up a balloon at sea level, where the pressure measured to be 29.7 inches and carried it to
the top of the mountain, by what factor would its volume change w.r.t. final volume [3]
(A) 29.7 – 17.7 (B) 29.7 / 17.7 (C) 17.7 / 29.7 (D) 12 / 29.7

2. A vertical hollow cylinder height 1.52 m is fitted with a movable piston of negligible mass and
thickness. The lower half of the cylinder contains ideal gas and upper half is filled with Hg. The
cylinder is initially at 300 K. When the temperature is raised half of the mercury comes out of
cylinder. The temperature is (Assume no thermal expansion for Hg). [3]
(A) 337.5 K (B) 364.5 K (C) 546 K (D) 600 K

3. Three closed vessels A, B and C are at the same temperature T and contain gases which obey the
Maxwellian distribution of velocities. Vessel A contains only O 2, B only N2 and C a mixture of
equal quantities of O2 and N2. If the average speed of the O2 molecules in vessel A is V1, that of
the N2 molecules in vessel B is V2, the average speed of the O2 molecules in vessel C is – [3]
(V  V2 )
(A) 1 (B) V1 (C) (V1 V2)1/2 (D) 3kT / M

4. Rate of diffusion of a gas is : [3]

(A) directly proportional to its density
(B) directly proportional to its molecular weight
(C) directly proportional to the square of its molecular weight
(D) inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight

7. Choose the correct statement(s) among the following [3]
(A) Average molecular speed of gases increases with decrease in fraction of molecules moving
slowly
(B) Rate of diffusion of gases increases with increase in collision frequency at constant volume.
(C) Rate of diffusion is inversily proportional to molecular weight of gas
(D) Mean free path does not change with change in temperature at constant pressure.

8. An ideal gas is subjected to the following changes. Answer the following questions [3]
(a) A curve showing the dependence of pressure on absolute temperature was obtained for a
certain gas.

Does compression or expansion take place when the gas is being heated [constant moles].
(b) Use the volume temperature curve to find graphically the nature of change in the pressure
of a gas during heating [constant moles].

(c) The piston in a gas filled cylinder is loosely fitted against the wall of the cylinder and can
slowly let the gas go past. The volume temperature curve for the gas at constant pressure
has the form shown in the figure. Use this curve to determine whether the amount of gas in
the cylinder has increased or decreased.

9. The process by which a gas passes through a small hole (aperture) into vacuum is called effusion.
The rate of change of pressure (p) of a gas at constant temperature and constant external pressure
due to effusion of gas from a vessel of constant volume can be related to rate of change of number
of molecules by the expression: [3]
dp kT  dN 
  
dt V  dt 
dN aA 0
where Rate of change of number of molecules = 
dt (2mkT)1/2
R
k (Boltzmann constant) = R = Ideal gas constant
NA
NA = Avogadro’s T = temperature
V = volume of vessel N = No. of molecules
A0 = area of aperture m = mass of single molecule
Time required for pressure inside vessel to reduce to 1/e of its initial value is (ln e = 1)

10. A diver at a depth of 10.336 m exhales a bubble of air of volume 24.63 ml. The bubble catches an
organism which survives on the exhaled air trapped in the bubble. Find out what will be the
volume of the bubble when it reaches the surface after 10 min. The organism just inhales the air at
the rate of 0.05 millimoles per minute & exhales nothing. Also find out the average rate which
organism should inhale so that volume of bubble remains constant at the depth & the surface. [4]
