1. (1) KE = RT (for one mole of a gas)
2

As, the kinetic energy of a gaseous molecule depends only on temperature, thus at constant
temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecule remains the same.

5. (4) Correction factor is corresponding to force of attraction between the gas molecule.

6. (3) Vi = V,

Vr = V – 0.2 V = 0.8 V

7. (4) The total pressure = PH O Pair 2

1.2 = PH O Pair

PH2O = mole fraction of H2O + Ptotal

PH2O = 0.02 × 1.2 = 0.024

PT = PH O + Pair
