ANSWER KEYS
1. (3) 2. (4) 3. (1567) 4. (4) 5. (392)

1. (3)

The total number of moles remains constant.

n1 + n2 + n3 = n f

n1 , n2 , n3 moles of gases in the individual containers. n is resultant moles.f

Using ideal gas equation PV = nRT, we van write as

P 1 V1 P 2 V2 P 3 V3 P f Vf
+ + =
RT RT RT RT

P 1 V1 + P 2 V2 + P 3 V3 = P f Vf

2 × 2 + 4 × 3 + 3 × 4 = Pf × 9

28
Pf = ≈ 3
9

2. (4)

The van der Waals' constant 'a' is directly proportional to the intermolecular force of attraction; hence, the gas with greater value of 'a' can be
most easily liquefied.The values of Vander Waal's constant 'a' for the given gases are:
Gases Vander Waal's Constant 'a'
A. Ar 1. 35 L
2
atm mol 2

B. CH 4 2. 25L
2
atm mol
2

C. H 2
O 5. 536L
2
atm mol 2

D. C 6 H6 18. 57L
2
atm mol 2

∴ Increasing order of 'a' for the given gases

A < B < C < D

3. (1567)

From Boyle's Law,

P 2 V2 = P 1 V1

P1 = 940. 3 mm of Hg
P2 = Pressure at which volume is reduced by 40%
V2 = Volume decreased by 40%
(V2 = V1 − 0. 4 V1 = 0. 6 V1 )

940.3×V1
Then,P 2 =
0.6V1

= 1567. 16

≈ 1567 mm Hg

5. (392)
The compressibility factor (Z) is given as:
PV
Z =
nRT
PV
n =
ZRT

Z1 = 1. 07, P1 = 100 atm, V1 = 0. 15L, T1 = 500K

Z2 = 1. 4, P1 = 300 atm, V2 =?, T2 = 300K

Z1 P1 V1 ×T2
=
Z2 T1 ×P2 V2

1.07 100×0.15×300
=
1.4 500×300×V2
