6 Amixture of three gases with the composition by volume of 40% nitrogen, 10%
‘oxygen and 50% hydrogen in a 10 dm® vessel, exerts a pressure of 6 atm at 10°C.
[Molar gas constant, R = 8.31 J K* mot]
(a) Calculate the partial pressure of the hydrogen gas. tt
Partial pressure of hydrogen gas = mole fraction of H, x total pressure = 0.5
x6 = 3.00 atm [1
(b) In an experiment, a certain amount of nitrogen gas is injected into the vessel to
increase the total pressure to 8 atm, calculate the number of moles of nitrogen gas
that has to be injected to attain this new total pressure, without changing the volume
of the vessel, 2

(b) Explain the difference in behaviour between carbon dioxide and sulphur
dioxide at 300K t
SO, deviates more from ideal gas behaviour as compared to COz,
SO, is a polar molecule while CO, is a non-polar molecule [/]
Hence, there is stronger permanent dipole-permanent dipole
attractions between SO, molecules as compared to induced dipole-
induced dipole attractions between CO, molecules. [14]
OR Molecular size of SO. is greater than COz. [¥4]
Extent of distortion of the electron cloud of SO, is greater than CO;.
Hence, there is greater extent of intermolecular Van der Waal's forces
of attraction of SO, than CO; [¥%](c) Explain what happens when sulphur dioxide gas is cooled to 100K. Illustrate
your answer clearly on the same axes in (a). ra
At lower temperature of 100K, the SOz molecules possess less Kinetic
energy [¥4] and they move slower.
