Q

The value of Vander Waal’s constant ‘a’ for gases O2, N2, NH3 and CH4 are 1.360, 1.390, 4.179 and 2.253 l2 atm moles-2 respectively. The gas which can most easily be liquefied is?

A

NH3
Van der Waal’s constant ‘a’ is an indirect measure of inter-molecular attractive forces. Ammonia contains strong inter-molecular forces of attraction. Inter-molecular hydrogen bonding is absent in other gases.
Hence, the value of van der Waal’s constant ‘a’ is larger for ammonia than compared to other gases.
Hence, ammonia can be most easily liquefied.

Q

Among the following gases which one has the lowest root mean square velocity at 25°C?
A. SO2
B. N2
C. O2
D. Cl2

A

Chlorine gas has the lowest root mean square speed at 25°C as it has highest molar mass (71 g/mol)
RMS speed is inversely proportional to the square root of molar mass.
Higher is the molar mass of the substance, lower is the root mean square velocity of it.

Q

In a closed vessel, a gas is heated from 300K to 600K. The kinetic energy becomes/remains

A

According to KMT of gases:
“The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules varies directly as the absolute temperature of the gas “When temperature increases from 300K to 600k (double), the kinetic energy also becomes double.

The unit cell dimensions of triclinic crystal is

A

a≠b≠c α≠β≠γ≠90°

31
Q

Liquid crystals are

A

Always anisotropic
A crystalline solid maybe isotropic or anisotropic and liquid crystals are always anisotropic because liquid crystal show variations in their coefficient of thermal expansion

32
Q

Crystal lattice of substance can be categorized into

A

The 14 Bravais lattices are grouped into seven lattice systems: triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, rhombohedral, hexagonal, and cubic.
