The ease of liquefaction of a gas depends on their

intermolecular force of attraction which in turn is
measured in terms of van der Waals’ constant a.
Hence, higher the value of a, greater the intermolecular
force of attraction, easier the liquefaction. In the
present case, NH3 has highest a, can most easily be

(a) According to a postulate of kinetic theory of gases, collision between the

(b) If a gas molecule of mass m moving with speed u collide to the wall of
container, the change in momentum is Dp = –2mu. Therefore, heavier mol e cule

momentum of the colliding gas molecule. However, this is not postulated in kinetic

Answer : 4

SUBSCRIBE
 Solution:

Universal gas constant, R = kNA

where, k = Boltzmann constant and NA = Avogadro’s
number
∴ R = 1.380 × 10-23 × 6.023 × 1023 J/Kmol
= 8.31174 ≅ 8.312
Since, k and NA both have four significant figures, so
the value of R is also rounded off upto 4 significant
figures. [When number is rounded off, the number of
significant figure is reduced, the last digit is increased
by 1 if following digits > 5 and is left as such if following
digits is < 4.]
Hence, correct integer is (4).

 An LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) cylinder weighs
14.8 kg when empty. When full it weighs 29.0 kg and
shows a pressure of 2.5 atm. In the course of use at
27°C, the weight of the full cylinder reduces to 23.2
kg. Find out the volume (in m3) of the gas in cubic
metres used up at the normal usage conditions, and
the final pressure inside the cylinder. Assume LPG to
the n-butane with normal boiling point of 0°C.
