1. Pay load = mass of air displaced - mass of balloon - mass of helium.
2. \(5108 - 50 - 685 = 4373\) kg.

Teacher's Note:
1. Buoyancy equals the weight of the displaced air.

Question 2: A mixture of 3 mol H\(_2\) and 1 mol N\(_2\) is completely converted to NH\(_3\). The ratio of initial to final volume at the same T and P is:
(a) 1 : 3
(b) 1 : 2
(c) 3 : 1
(d) 2 : 1
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 2 : 1

Explanation:
1. \(\ce{N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3}\): 4 mol become 2 mol.
2. The ratio of volumes = 4 : 2 = 2 : 1.

Teacher's Note:
1. At constant T and P, volume is proportional to moles.

Question 3: A pure ideal gas exerts a pressure of 1 atm and has a concentration of 1 mol L\(^{-1}\). The required temperature (R = 0.082 L atm mol\(^{-1}\) K\(^{-1}\)) is nearly:
(a) 12 K
(b) 273 K
(c) It is impossible
(d) 22.4 K
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 12 K

Explanation:
1. \(P = (n/V)RT\), so \(T = P/(CR) = 1/0.082 = 12.2\) K.

Teacher's Note:
1. STP gives 0.0446 mol/L, not 1 mol/L.
2. The state is physically unrealistic for a real gas but valid for an ideal gas.

Question 4: 1.00 g of a gaseous boron hydride occupies 0.820 L at 1.00 atm and \(3^\circ\)C (R = 0.0820 L atm mol\(^{-1}\) K\(^{-1}\); B = 10.8). The compound is:
(a) B\(_2\)H\(_6\)
(b) BH\(_3\)
(c) B\(_4\)H\(_{10}\)
(d) B\(_3\)H\(_{12}\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) B\(_2\)H\(_6\)

Explanation:
1. \(n = PV/RT = 0.820/(0.0820 \times 276) = 0.03623\) mol.
2. \(M = 1/0.03623 = 27.6\) g/mol.
3. B\(_2\)H\(_6\) = 21.6 + 6 = 27.6.

Teacher's Note:
1. Find the molar mass from PV = (m/M)RT.

Question 5: Gas A in a 0.5 dm\(^3\) flask has density 3 g/dm\(^3\) and gas B in a 1 dm\(^3\) flask has density 1.5 g/dm\(^3\), at the same temperature. If \(M_A = M_B/2\), then \(P_A/P_B\) is:
(a) 2
(b) 1
(c) 3
(d) 4
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 4

Explanation:
1. \(P = dRT/M\), so \(P_A/P_B = (d_A/d_B)(M_B/M_A)\).
2. \(= 2 \times 2 = 4\).

Teacher's Note:
1. Flask volume does not matter once the densities are given.

Question 6: Vessel A holds 15 g ethane at 1 atm and 298 K. An identical vessel B holds 75 g of gas \(X_2\) at the same T and P. The vapour density of \(X_2\) is:
(a) 150
(b) 75
(c) 37.5
(d) 45
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 75

Explanation:
1. Equal V, T and P means equal moles.
2. Moles of ethane = 15/30 = 0.5, so \(M(X_2) = 75/0.5 = 150\).
3. Vapour density = M/2 = 75.

Teacher's Note:
1. Vapour density is half of the molar mass.

Question 7: The density of neon is highest at:
(a) \(273^\circ\)C, 2 atm
(b) STP
(c) \(273^\circ\)C, 1 atm
(d) \(0^\circ\)C, 2 atm
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \(0^\circ\)C, 2 atm

Explanation:
1. \(d \propto P/T\).
2. Values: STP 1/273; 2/273; 1/546; 2/546.
3. The largest is 2 atm at 273 K.

Teacher's Note:
1. High pressure and low temperature give the highest density.

Question 8: A bubble rises from the bottom of a lake (\(8^\circ\)C, 6.0 atm) to the surface (\(25^\circ\)C, 1.0 atm). If its initial volume was 2 mL, its final volume is:
(a) 12.7 mL
(b) 11.3 mL
(c) 14 mL
(d) 15 mL
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 12.7 mL

2. \(= 12.73\) mL.

Teacher's Note:
1. Convert both temperatures to kelvin.

Question 9: Equal masses of ethane and hydrogen are mixed in an empty container at \(25^\circ\)C. The fraction of total pressure exerted by hydrogen is:
(a) 1 : 1
(b) 1 : 2
(c) 15 : 16
(d) 1 : 16
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 15 : 16

Explanation:
1. For mass m: \(n_{H_2} = m/2\), \(n_{C_2H_6} = m/30\).
2. Fraction of H\(_2\) = \((1/2)/(1/2 + 1/30) = 15/16\).

Teacher's Note:
1. Pressure fraction equals mole fraction.

Question 10: A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen at 1 bar contains 20% hydrogen by weight. The partial pressure of hydrogen is:
(a) 0.2 bar
(b) 0.6 bar
(c) 0.8 bar
(d) 0.4 bar
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 0.8 bar

Explanation:
1. In 100 g: H\(_2\) = 10 mol, O\(_2\) = 80/32 = 2.5 mol.
2. \(x_{H_2} = 10/12.5 = 0.8\).
3. \(p = 0.8\) bar.

Teacher's Note:
1. Weight percent is not mole fraction.
2. Light gases have large mole fractions.

Question 11: A compound exists as monomer A (atomic mass 48) and dimer \(A_2\). 96 g was heated to \(273^\circ\)C in a 33.6 L vessel and 50% by weight is dimer. The pressure is:
(a) 1 atm
(b) 1.5 atm
(c) 2 atm
(d) 4 atm
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 2 atm

Explanation:
1. 48 g dimer = 0.5 mol; 48 g monomer = 1 mol; total 1.5 mol.
2. \(P = 1.5 \times 0.0821 \times 546/33.6 = 2.0\) atm.

Teacher's Note:
1. Count molecules of each form, not atoms.
2. 50% by weight is not 50% by moles.

Question 12: O\(_2\) and H\(_2\) at total pressure 1.0 atm are ignited and the water removed. The leftover H\(_2\) exerts 0.40 atm at the same T and V. The mole fraction of O\(_2\) in the original mixture was:
(a) 0.4
(b) 0.8
(c) 0.2
(d) 0.6
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 0.2

Explanation:
1. Reacted gas = 1.0 - 0.4 = 0.6 atm-equivalent, in the ratio 2 H\(_2\) : 1 O\(_2\).
2. O\(_2\) = 0.2, so H\(_2\) = 0.8.
3. \(x_{O_2} = 0.2\).

Teacher's Note:
1. \(\ce{2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O}\).

Question 13: Bulb A (100 cm\(^3\)) holds a gas and bulb B is empty. On opening the stopcock the pressure falls to 40% of its value. The volume of bulb B is:
(a) 150 cm\(^3\)
(b) 125 cm\(^3\)
(c) 75 cm\(^3\)
(d) 250 cm\(^3\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 150 cm\(^3\)

Explanation:
1. Boyle's law: \(P \times 100 = 0.4P \times (100 + V_B)\).
2. \(100 + V_B = 250\), so \(V_B = 150\) cm\(^3\).

Teacher's Note:
1. Total volume after opening is 250 cm\(^3\).

Question 14: Bulbs A (100 mL) and B (150 mL) hold the same gas, with pressure in A 20 times that in B. After opening the stopcock the pressure in A:
(a) drops by 25%
(b) drops by 75%
(c) stays the same
(d) drops by 57%
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) drops by 57%

Explanation:
1. Let \(P_B = 1\), \(P_A = 20\). Total \(PV = 2000 + 150 = 2150\).
2. Final \(P = 2150/250 = 8.6\).
3. Drop = \((20 - 8.6)/20 = 57\%\).

Teacher's Note:
1. Total PV is conserved at constant T.

Question 15: A 100 mL vessel with O\(_2\) at 1.0 atm and a 300 mL vessel with NO at 1.5 atm (both 400 K) are joined and the gases react completely to form NO\(_2\). The final pressure is:
(a) 1.125 atm
(b) 0.125 atm
(c) 1 atm
(d) 1.5 atm
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 1.125 atm

Explanation:
1. Moles are proportional to PV: O\(_2\) = 100, NO = 450 units.
2. \(\ce{2NO + O2 -> 2NO2}\): O\(_2\) is limiting, using 200 NO; NO left 250, NO\(_2\) 200.
3. Total 450 units in 400 mL gives \(P = 450/400 = 1.125\) atm.

Teacher's Note:
1. Find the limiting reagent first.
2. The total moles fall by 100 units.

Question 16: The order of rates of diffusion of SO\(_3\), CO\(_2\), PCl\(_3\) and SO\(_2\) is:
(a) CO\(_2\) > SO\(_2\) > SO\(_3\) > PCl\(_3\)
(b) SO\(_2\) > SO\(_3\) > PCl\(_3\) > CO\(_2\)
(c) CO\(_2\) > SO\(_2\) > PCl\(_3\) > SO\(_3\)
(d) PCl\(_3\) > SO\(_3\) > SO\(_2\) > CO\(_2\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) CO\(_2\) > SO\(_2\) > SO\(_3\) > PCl\(_3\)

Explanation:
1. Rate is inversely proportional to \(\sqrt{M}\).
2. Molar masses: CO\(_2\) 44, SO\(_2\) 64, SO\(_3\) 80, PCl\(_3\) 137.5.
3. Lightest diffuses fastest.

Teacher's Note:
1. Memorise approximate molar masses.

Question 17: 20 dm\(^3\) of SO\(_2\) diffuses through a porous partition in 60 s. The volume of O\(_2\) that diffuses in 30 s under similar conditions is:
(a) 14.14 dm\(^3\)
(b) 18.14 dm\(^3\)
(c) 12.14 dm\(^3\)
(d) 28.14 dm\(^3\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 14.14 dm\(^3\)

Explanation:
1. Rate of SO\(_2\) = 20/60 = 1/3 dm\(^3\)/s.
2. \(r_{O_2}/r_{SO_2} = \sqrt{64/32} = \sqrt{2}\), so \(r_{O_2} = 0.4714\).
3. Volume in 30 s = 14.14 dm\(^3\).

Teacher's Note:
1. Rate = volume/time.

Question 18: X mL of H\(_2\) effuses in 5 s. Under identical conditions the same volume of O\(_2\) takes:
(a) 40 s
(b) 55 s
(c) 20 s
(d) 10 s
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 20 s

Explanation:
1. \(t \propto \sqrt{M}\).
2. \(t_{O_2} = 5 \times \sqrt{32/2} = 5 \times 4 = 20\) s.

Teacher's Note:
1. The molar mass ratio 16 gives a time ratio 4.

Question 19: Three identical footballs contain N\(_2\), H\(_2\) and He at the same pressure. The ratio of leak rates \(r_{N_2} : r_{H_2} : r_{He}\) is:

(b) \(\sqrt{7} : 1 : \sqrt{14}\)
(c) \(1 : \sqrt{14} : \sqrt{7}\)
(d) \(\sqrt{14} : \sqrt{7} : 1\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \(1 : \sqrt{14} : \sqrt{7}\)

Explanation:
1. Rate \(\propto 1/\sqrt{M}\): \(1/\sqrt{28} : 1/\sqrt{2} : 1/\sqrt{4}\).
2. Multiply by \(\sqrt{28}\): \(1 : \sqrt{14} : \sqrt{7}\).

Teacher's Note:
