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 dm3 torr mole-1K-1 (Pressure in unit of torr and Volume in unit of dm3 )
R = 62.4 cm3 torr 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
