7. Kinetic Molecular Theory has framed seven major postulates to elucidate the
behaviour of gases. Mention any five postulates with brief explanation.

[II] Solve any seven of the following, presenting formula and neat calculation:
[5 x 7 = 35 marks]

1. A certain quantity of gas occupies a volume of 0.8 L collected over water at 300 K
and a pressure 0.92 bar. The same gas occupies a volume of 0.08 L at STP in dry
condition. Calculate the aqueous tension at 300 K.

2. At sea level, the composition of dry air is approximately N 2 = 75.5 g, O2=23.3 g and
Ar=1.3 g by mass. If the total pressure at sea level is 1 bar, what is the partial
pressure of each component?

3. The temperature at the foot of a mountain is 30⁰C and pressure is 760 mm Hg

whereas at the top of the mountain these are 0⁰C and 710 mm Hg. Compare the
densities of air at the foot and top of the mountain.

4. A gas cylinder contains 370 g oxygen at 30 atm pressure and 25⁰C. What mass of
oxygen will escape if the cylinder is first heated to 75⁰C and then the valve is held
open until gas pressure becomes 1.0 atm, the temperature being maintained at
75⁰C?

5. 1.0 mol of pure dinitrogen gas at SATP conditions was put into a vessel of volume
24.8 m3 maintained at the temperature of 596.3 K. What is the pressure of the gas in
the vessel?

6. A sample of nitrogen occupies a volume of 320 cm 3 at STP. Calculate its volume at

546.3 K and 0.5 bar pressure.

7. At 25°C and 760 mm of Hg pressure a gas occupies 600 mL volume. What will be its
pressure at a height where temperature is 10°C and volume of the gas is 640 mL?

8. The density of a certain gaseous oxide at 1.5 bar pressure and 20⁰C is same as that of
dioxygen at 10⁰C and 4.5 bar pressure. Calculate the molar mass of the gaseous
oxide.
