An oxygen cylinder of volume 30 litre has 18.20 moles of oxygen. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, its pressure drops to 11 atmospheric pressure at temperature 27 °C. The mass of the oxygen withdrawn from the cylinder is nearly equal to: [Given R = 100/12 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, molecular mass of O₂ = 32, 1 atm = 1.01 × 10⁵ N m⁻²]

Answer: (B) 0.156 kg. Correct Answer (B): 0.156 kg Apply PV = nRT to find the final number of moles n′ at the dropped pressure (11 atm), then subtract from the initial 18.20 moles to get the moles withdrawn, and convert to mass using the molar mass of O₂ (32 g mol⁻¹).

  1. A.0.116 kg
  2. B.0.156 kg
  3. C.0.125 kg
  4. D.0.144 kg

Correct Answer

(B) 0.156 kg

Solution & Explanation

Correct Answer (B): 0.156 kg Apply PV = nRT to find the final number of moles n′ at the dropped pressure (11 atm), then subtract from the initial 18.20 moles to get the moles withdrawn, and convert to mass using the molar mass of O₂ (32 g mol⁻¹). The unusual value R = 100/12 is chosen to make the arithmetic clean: n′ = PV/RT = 13.33 mol, so 4.87 mol (≈ 156 g) is withdrawn.

PhysA container has two chambers of volumes V₁ = 2 litres and V₂ = 3 litres separated by a partition made of a thermal insulator. The chambers contain n₁ = 5 and n₂ = 4 moles of ideal gas at pressures p₁ = 1 atm and p₂ = 2 atm, respectively. When the partition is removed, the mixture attains an equilibrium pressure of:PhysThe volume occupied by 1.8 g of water vapour at 374 °C and 1 bar pressure will be: [Use R = 0.083 bar L K⁻¹ mol⁻¹]PhysThe following graph represents the T–V curves of an ideal gas (where T is the temperature and V the volume) at three pressures P₁, P₂ and P₃, compared with those of Charles's law represented as dotted lines. Then the correct relation is:PhysA container of volume 200 cm³ contains 0.2 mole of hydrogen gas and 0.3 mole of argon gas. The pressure of the system at temperature 200 K (R = 8.3 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹) will be:PhysA given sample of an ideal gas occupies a volume V at a pressure P and absolute temperature T. The mass of each molecule of the gas is m. Which of the following gives the density of the gas?PhysAn electric dipole with dipole moment 5 × 10⁻⁶ C·m is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 4 × 10⁵ N/C. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of 60° with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:PhysTwo identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (radii negligible vs separation, treated as point charges) is best given as:PhysThe plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant K1 and K2 with thickness 3d/8 and d/2 respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If K1/K2 = 1.25, the value of K1 is:
