Gaseous state : Answers for qns in page no:182.
27. a) Firing a bullet b) Heating food in an oven
31. The pressure on the sticky wall is greater than on the ordinary area of walls.
32. a) *Carbondioxide gas is passed through aqueous solution under pressure in aerated
bottles because solubility of the gas in water is not very high.
 In summer solubility of gas decreases because of rise in temperature.
 More gas will be present above the liquid surface.* if pressure becomes high it may
lead to explosion.
b) * Liquid ammonia bottle contains gas under very high pressure.* if it is opened before
cooling, sudden decrease in pressure leads to larger increase in volume .* so gas will come
out with force and can cause accidents.
c) In summer due to high temperature , the average kinetic energy of the air molecules inside
the tyre increases and molecules start moving faster. Hence the pressure on the walls of the
tube increases.If the pressure is not kept low at the time of inflation ,at higher temperature ,
the pressure may become so high that the tyre may burst.
d) The volume of the gas is inversely proportional to to the pressure according to the Boyle’s
law. As the balloon ascends, the pressure tends to decrease.As a result balloon becomes
larger and larger in size.
33. a) Gases have negligible intermolecular force of attraction and very low density.
b) The spreading of gases to fill the available space is called diffusion .They can be
compressed easily. This means that a given volume of a gas can be squeezed into a
smaller volume.
34. It is the lightest element produced in free state . It rises above all other gases to the top of
the atmosphere.It easily gains velocity required to escape Earth’s magnetic field.
The value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon is very small .The molecules
of the atmospheric gases on the surface of the moon have thermal velocities greater than
the escape velocity. So all the gas molecules have escaped and there is no atmosphere on
moon.
38. The gas pressure increases .More of liquefied gas turns into vapour.
39. It is difficult. The reduced atmospheric pressure is less effective in pushing water into the
straw.
42. Moon has very low atmospheric pressure.The pressurized protective suit helps to maintain
optimum pressure for the human body. It also protescts from harmful radiations and
infections.
43. Ammonia has low molar mass and high vapour pressure. Rate of diffusion of ammonia is
greater and HCl is lower.
