First year chemistry: Chapter 4 Gases Short answer questions

 Question. Write brief answers for the following.

Q.1.  What is Absolute Zero and Absolute scale of temperature?

Answer.

Absolute Zero

The temperature at which the given volume of a gas reduces to zero is called Absolute zero.

The temperature at which the motion of gas molecules ceases is called Absolute zero.

On Celsius scale absolute zero is equal to -273.15 oC

On Kelvin scale absolute zero is equal to 0 K.

Absolute Scale of Temperature

Absolute Scale of Temperature was developed by Lord Kelvin .  On Kelvin scale,  

-273.15 oC (0K) is starting point of the scale. It is related to Celsius scale as follows

K = oC +273

Q.2: What is plasma?

Answer. Plasma is composed of a mixture of un-ionized gas, free electrons and positively charged particles.

Plasma is the fourth state of matter.

It was identified  by William Crooks in 1879.

He heated molecules gas which changed into atomic form and then to ionic form at higher temperature.

Molecular gas ----> Atomic gas---> ions + electrons

At a high temperature of 104 to 106 K (10 eV  to 100 eV), electrons are removed from the atom to form ions

Q.3: What are the different units of gas Constant R?

Answer.

The value of gas constant R depends upon the units of pressure and volume of a gas.  Following are the common units of values of R.

R = 62.4 dm3 mm of Hg mole-1K-1    (Pressure in unit of  mmHg and Volume in unit of dm3)

R = 62.4 dmtorr mole-1K-1    (Pressure in unit of  torr and Volume in unit of dm3 )

R = 62.4 cmtorr mole-1K-1    (Pressure in unit of  torr and Volume in unit of cm3 )

R = 62.4 J mole-1K-1    (Pressure in unit of  Nm-2 and Volume in unit of m3 )

Q.4: Define pressure. How will you  explain it in different units?

Answer

Definition:  Force per unit area is called pressure.

Mathematically, P = F/A

Units of Pressure:

SI Units

In SI system, unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa)

One Pascal is the force of one newton (N) applied on an area of 1m2.

Thus,  1Pa = 1 Nm-2

CGS system

In CGS system, unit of pressure is barye (Ba)

Thus,  1Ba = 1 dyn.cm-2

Other units

Other units commonly used are atmosphere, torr, mm of Hg, Pound per square inch(psi)

An atmosphere (atm) is defined as

One atm is the force exerted by 76 cm long column of mercury on an area of 1cm3  at 0oC.

Thus,  1atm = 101325 Nm-2 

1atm = 101325 Pa

101.325 KPa

1atm = 14.7 Psi

1atm = 760 Torr

1atm = 760 mmHg

Q.5: Define Charles Law? How will you derive Absolute Zero with its help.

Answer.

At constant pressure, the volume of a fixed mass of  gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

Mathematically, 

V ∝ T

V = kT 

V/T = k

Where, V is volume, T is absolute temperature and k is proportionality constant,

Derivation of Absolute law,

Let Volume of  a gas at 0oC = Vo

According to quantitative definition of Charles Law

Volume of gas at 1oC  = Vo + Vo(1/273)

Volume of gas at - 1oC  = Vo + Vo(-1/273)

Volume of gas at - 273oC  = Vo + Vo(-273/273) = 0

Thus  at temperature of 273oC,  at which the volume of gas becomes zero is called absolute zero.

Q.6: What is Avogadro’s law

Answer. This law states that

Equal volumes of all gases at same temperature and pressure contain equal number of particles (molecules).

Thus, volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of molecules

Mathematically,

 V ∝ n

Where n = number of molecules of gas

V = volume of gas

Significance

 Avogadro’s  law can be used to determine

Mass

Volume

Number of molecules of a gas

Q.7: What is the difference between an ideal gas and a real gas?

Answer.

Chemistry

T he Federal Board of Intermediate & Secondary Education (FBISE) is an autonomous body that conducts the examinations in the institutions affiliated with it in Pakistan as well as abroad.  Punjab government has ten boards of Intermediate & Secondary Education including Bahawalpur Board, D.G. Khan Board, Faisalabad Board, Gujranwala Board, Lahore Board, Multan Board, Rawalpindi Board and Sargodha Board and each board conducts exams independently.   Federal Board generally follows the international norms and  standards. Federal Board paper pattern is quite tricky and similar to O-Level and A Level formats. These questions need conceptual approach to be solved. Punjab board’s Paper pattern is comparatively easy up to some extent.  We are currently focusing on the subject of Chemistry for all classes affiliated with Federal Board ( IX ,  X ,  XI ,  XII )  and Punjab Board (  XI   XII ). We intend to extend it to all subjects in future. After reading All Student Notes, studen

Shielding Effect (Grade 9 Students) and its trend in Periodic Table.

Question: What is shielding  effect? Give its trends in the periodic table. Answer . Shielding Effect  The decrease in force of attraction between nucleus  and valence electrons due to presence of inner shell electrons is called shielding effect.  It is also known as screening effect. It increases with increase in inner shell electrons. For example, Mg has greater shielding effect than Be. This is because Mg has eight more inner-shell electrons than Be. Trend in Periodic Table In period As we move from left to right in a period, shielding effect remains constant. Reason is that the number of inner shell electrons remains constant along the period. In group As we move from top to bottom in a group, shielding effect increases. This is due to fact that the number of inner shell increases and hence, inner shell electrons also increase. For example, Na has greater shielding effect than Li because of eight more inner shell electrons than Li.  Example 3.5 Identi
