A box Of interior Volume $V_1$ has a heavy airtight hinged lid of mass M and area A.The box contains n1 moles of gas at Temperature T0.The box is inside a chamber which also contains additional n2 moles of the same gas at the same temperature..The gas in the chamber occupies the volume V2.
Question 1
find the pressure of the gas in the box
a. n1RT0/V1
b. n2RT0/V2
c. (n1+n2)RT/V1+V2
d. none of the above.
Answer
Applying Ideal gas equation
P1 V1=n1RT0
or P1=n1RT0/V1
Question 2
find the pressure of the gas in the chamber
a. n1RT0/V1
b. n2RT0/V2
c. (n1+n2)RT/V1+V2
d. none of the above.
Question 3
Initially the hinged lid is closed.Then which of these expression is true
a.n1RT0/V1 -n2RT0/V2 <=Mg/A
b. n1RT0/V1 -n2RT0/V2 => Mg/A
c. n2RT0/V2 -n1RT0/V1 => Mg/A
d. n2RT0/V2 -n1RT0/V1 <= Mg/A
Answer
The lid would lift if the net upward pressure force (P1-P2)A exceeded the weight Mg
The fact that the lid is closed therefore implies that (P1-P2)A <=Mg
Question 4
If the whole system is heated,at what temperature T will the gas pressure lift the hinged lid
a. T=(Mg/RA)(n1/V1 -n2/V2)
b. T=(Mg/RA)(n2/V2 -n1/V1)
c. T=(Mg/RA)(n1/V1 +n2/V2)
d. None of the above
Answer
it will lift when (P1-P2)A =Mg
n1RT/V1-n2RT/V1=Mg/A
or T=(Mg/RA)(n1/V1 -n2/V2)
or n1RT0/V1 -n2RT0/V2 <=Mg/A

Question 6
The dimensional formula for constant a is
a. ML5T-2
b. ML5T-1
c. ML-1T-1
d. M0L-0T0
Answer
(a)
For dimensional consistency,the dimension of a/V2 must be same as those of P.therefore ,the dimensions of a are same as those of that
PV2=ML-1T-2X (L3)2=ML5T-2
Question 7
Find the work done by this gas when gas expand from V to 2V at constant temperature T
a.nRTloge(2V-b/V-b) -a/V
b.nRTloge(2V-b/V-b) +a/V
c. nRTloge(2V-b/V-b)
d. none of the above
Answer
(b)
Given (P+a/V2)(V-b)=nRT
or P+a/V2=nRT/(V-b)
or P=[nRT/(V-b)]-[a/V2]
Work done=∫PdV
Integrating with limits (V,2V)
=nRT[∫(dV/V-b)] -a[∫(dV/V2]
=nRTloge[(2V-b)/(V-b)] +a/V

Linked Comprehensions type
A vessel contains two non-reactive gases : neon (monatomic) and oxygen (diatomic). The ratio of their partial pressures is 3:2.
Atomic mass of Ne = 20.2 u, molecular mass of O2 = 32.0 u.
Question 14
Estimate the ratio of number of molecules
a. 1:2
b. 2:3
c. 3:2
d. 9:4
Answer
(c)
Partial pressure of a gas in a mixture is the pressure it would have for the same volume and temperature if it alone occupied the vessel.
(The total pressure of a mixture of non-reactive gases is the sum of partial pressures due to its constituent gases.
Let 1 and 2 refer to neon and oxygen respectively
Each gas (assumed ideal) obeys the gas law. Since V and T are common to the two gases, we have
$P_1V = \mu _1 RT$
$P_2V =\mu _2 RT$
Therefore
$\frac {P_1}{P_2} = \frac {\mu _1 }{ \mu _2}$
Given $\frac {P_1}{P_2} =\frac {3}{2}$
So,
$\frac {\mu _1 }{ \mu _2}=\frac {3}{2}$
$ \frac {\frac {N_1}{N_A}}{\frac {N_2}{N_A}}=\frac {3}{2}$
$\frac {N_1}{N_2}=\frac {3}{2}$
Question 15

b. .745:1
c. .56:16

Question 17
An inflated rubber balloon contains one mole of an ideal gas, has a pressure p, volume V and temperature T. If the temperature rises to 1.1 T, and the volume is increased to 1.05 V, the final pressure will be
(a) 1.1 p
(b) p
(c) less than p
(d) between p and 1.1p
Answer
(d) By gas equation
$PV = nRT$ n, R are constant for the system here
or
$\frac {PV}{T}= constant$
Now
$\frac {P_1V_1}{T_1}= \frac {P_2V_2}{T_2}$
$P_2= (1.0476) p$
i.e. P2 is between p and 1.1p. So option (d) is correct
(a, d)
Gas equation for ideal gas
PV = nRT n and R are constant for a system (I)
(a) as P is constant
$V \alpha T$ verifies the diagram (a).
(b) at constant temperature T = constant
PV = constant, graph must be parabola (rectangular). Hence rejects (b).
(c) from graph PV-T
(slope) is constant
at P = 0 Constant K = 0
and V = 0 , K = 0
So graph must pass through origin.
Hence rejects option (c).
(d) at V = constant from (I)
$P \alpha T$ i.e. straight line
Hence verifies the option (d).
Question 19

c. $p_1 < p_2$
d. data is insufficient

(c) V will change but not p.
(d) p will change but not V. Solution
(c) This is a constant pressure arrangement.
Subjective Problem
Question 21 One mole of ideal gas undergoes a process
P=P0/(1+(V/V0)2)
Where P0 and V0 are constant. Find the temperature of gas when V=V0
Answer
Gas undergoes a process
P=P0/1+(V/V0)2---(1)
Ideal gas equation is
PV=RT as n=1---(2)
At V=V0 from 1
P=P0/2
Substituting all values in (2)
So T=P0V0/2R
Question 22.
Calculate the variation of atmospheric pressure with elevation of the earth atmosphere. Considering the temperature to be uniform throughout (which is not the actual case)
Answer
From hydrostatic relation
dP/dY=-ρg---(1)
The density ρ is not constant but varies with the pressure. We know that ideal gas equation is
PV=nRT
or PV=mRT/M
and ρ=m/V
so ρ=PM/RT
putting this value in equation 1
dP/dY=-PMg/RT
Integrating on both side with upper and lower limit as (P2,P1) on left side and (y2,y1) on right side
∫dP/P=(-Mg/RT)∫dY
lnP2/P1=-Mg(y2-y1)/RT
If at y=0,pressure is P0,then pressure p at an point y will be
P=P0e-Mgy/RT
Where M is the molecular mass of the air
