|---|---|---|
| 1) Boyle's Law | a) It states that at constant pressure Volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. | i) \(\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2}\) |
| 2) Gay Lussac's Law | b) It states that equal volumes of all gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure contain equal number of molecules | ii) \(\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}\) |

Teacher's Note:
a) An ideal gas strictly obeys all gas laws under all conditions of temperature and pressure.
2. The lowest hypothetical or imaginary temperature at which gases are supposed to occupy zero .................... is called Absolute zero. (pressure / volume) [1 Mark]
Answer: volume
Teacher's Note:
a) Absolute zero corresponds to zero volume according to Charles' law extrapolation.
3. Each line of the Pressure vs. temperature (Kelvin) graph at constant molar volume is called .................... (isotherm / isobar / isochore) [1 Mark]
Answer: isochore
Teacher's Note:
a) A constant volume process or graph is termed an isochore.
4. Each line of the Volume vs. temperature (Kelvin) graph at constant pressure is called .................... (isotherm / isobar / isochore) [1 Mark]
Answer: isobar
Teacher's Note:
a) A constant pressure process or graph is termed an isobar.
5. Each line of the Pressure vs. Volume graph at constant temperature is called ............... (isotherm/ isobar/ isochore) [1 Mark]
Answer: isotherm
1. A Pressure vs. Volume graph drawn at a constant temperature is known as an isotherm.
2. Isobar represents constant pressure and isochore represents constant volume.
3. Hence, the correct term is isotherm.
Teacher's Note:
a) An isotherm is a line of constant temperature on a thermodynamic diagram.
b) Boyle's Law is graphically represented by isotherms.
6. Dalton’s Law of partial pressure states that the total pressure exerted by the mixture of ......................................... is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of individual gases. (Reacting gases/ non-reactive gases) [1 Mark]
Answer: non-reactive gases
1. Dalton's Law of partial pressures applies only to a mixture of gases that do not chemically react with each other.
2. If gases react chemically, the total pressure will change due to the formation of new substances.
3. Therefore, the blank must be filled with non-reactive gases.
Teacher's Note:
a) Non-reactive gas mixtures follow the additive pressure rule strictly.
b) Total pressure equals the sum of individual partial pressures: Ptotal = PA + PB + ...
7. At a constant temperature, pressure is ................ proportional to the density of a fixed mass of the gas.( inversely/directly) [1 Mark]
Answer: directly
1. According to the ideal gas equation, P = dRT / M.
2. At constant temperature (T) and for a fixed mass, density (d) is directly proportional to pressure (P).
3. Hence, pressure is directly proportional to density.
Teacher's Note:
a) Combining ideal gas law with density gives P / d = constant at constant T.
b) Higher pressure compresses the gas, increasing its density.
8. Kelvin scale of temperature is also called ................. of temperature and is used in all scientific works.( Thermodynamic scale/ Thermometer) [1 Mark]
Answer: Thermodynamic scale
1. The Kelvin scale is based on the laws of thermodynamics, specifically absolute zero.
2. It is universally accepted in scientific calculations and is referred to as the thermodynamic temperature scale.
3. Therefore, the correct option is Thermodynamic scale.
Teacher's Note:
a) Absolute zero (0 K) is the temperature at which molecular motion theoretically ceases.
b) It does not depend on the property of any particular substance or thermometer.
9. Pressure exerted by ........................ water vapour is called aqueous tension. (unsaturated/saturated) [1 Mark]
Answer: saturated
1. When a gas is collected over water, it becomes moist due to water vapour.
2. The pressure exerted by saturated water vapour at a given temperature is known as aqueous tension.
3. Hence, the correct term is saturated.
Teacher's Note:
a) Aqueous tension is constant at a fixed temperature for saturated vapour.
b) Dry gas pressure is calculated by subtracting aqueous tension from total pressure.
10. Gases are generally collected over water and therefore are ............ (Dry/ moist) [1 Mark]
Answer: moist
1. Gases collected over water trap water molecules in vapor form.
2. Due to the presence of water vapour, the collected gas is not dry.
3. Therefore, the gas is moist.
Teacher's Note:
a) Laboratory preparation of gases like hydrogen or oxygen involves collection over water.
b) Corrections must be applied to find the pressure of the dry gas.

MULTIPLE CHOICE TYPE
1. The temperature at which a real gas obeys ideal gas law over an appreciable range of pressure is called [1 Mark]
a) Critical temperature
b) Boyle temperature
c) Inversion Temperature
d) None
Answer: (b) Boyle temperature
1. Boyle temperature (TB) is defined as the temperature at which a real gas exhibits ideal gas behavior over a wide range of pressure.
2. At this temperature, the second virial coefficient becomes zero.
3. Hence, the correct option is (b).
Teacher's Note:
a) Real gases obey PV = nRT closely at Boyle temperature.
b) Different gases have different Boyle temperatures.
2. Which one is correctly represent the unit of Universal Gas Constant? [1 Mark]
a) bar L K-1 mol-1
b) L atm K-1 mol-1
c) J K-1 mol-1
d) All
Answer: (d) All
1. The value of R in bar L K-1 mol-1 is 0.08314.
2. The value of R in L atm K-1 mol-1 is 0.0821.
3. The value of R in J K-1 mol-1 is 8.314.
4. Since all given units are correct representations in different systems, the correct option is (d).
Teacher's Note:
a) Universal gas constant R has different numerical values depending on pressure and volume units.
b) Always check the units of P, V, and T before substituting R in equations.
3. Which one of the equation correctly represent van dar Waal equation for n mole of a real gas [1 Mark]
a) (P + a n/v2) ( V-nb) = nRT
b) ( P + a n2/v2) ( V-nb) = nRT
c) (P + a n/v2) ( V-nb) = RT
d) (P + a n/v2) ( V-b) = nRT
Answer: (b) ( P + a n2/v2) ( V-nb) = nRT
1. Pressure correction for n moles is \(\frac{an^2}{V^2}\), making corrected pressure \(P + \frac{an^2}{V^2}\).
2. Volume correction for n moles is nb, making corrected volume (V - nb).
3. Substituting into the ideal gas equation gives \(\left(P + \frac{an^2}{V^2}\right)(V - nb) = nRT\).
4. Hence, the correct option is (b).
Teacher's Note:
a) Van der Waals equation corrects for intermolecular forces and finite molecular volume.
b) Watch out for the exponent of n in the pressure correction term.
4. At which condition real gas behaves like ideal gas? [1 Mark]
a) At higher T and higher P
b) At higher T and lower P
c) At lower T and higher P
d) At lower T and lower P
Answer: (b) At higher T and lower P
1. At high temperature, kinetic energy of molecules is high, making intermolecular forces negligible.
2. At low pressure, volume of molecules is negligible compared to total volume.
3. These are the exact conditions where real gases approach ideal behavior.
4. Hence, the correct option is (b).
Teacher's Note:
a) Real gases deviate most at low temperature and high pressure.
b) Ideal gas assumptions ignore molecular volume and intermolecular attractions.
5. Kinetic energy of the gas molecules is [1 Mark]
a) Directly proportional to T2
b) Inversely proportional to T
c) Directly proportional to T
d) None of these
Answer: (c) Directly proportional to T
1. Average kinetic energy per mole of an ideal gas is given by E = \(\frac{3}{2}\) RT.
2. Kinetic energy depends only on absolute temperature (T).
3. Thus, kinetic energy is directly proportional to T.
4. Hence, the correct option is (c).
Teacher's Note:
a) Temperature is a direct measure of average translational kinetic energy.
b) At absolute zero, molecular kinetic energy becomes zero.
6. The value of compressibility factor Z for ideal gas is [1 Mark]
a) Equal to one
b) Greater than one
c) Less than one
d) None of these
Answer: (a) Equal to one
1. Compressibility factor is defined as Z = \(\frac{PV}{nRT}\).
2. For an ideal gas, PV = nRT under all conditions of temperature and pressure.
3. Therefore, Z = 1 for an ideal gas.
4. Hence, the correct option is (a).
Teacher's Note:
a) Z measures deviation from ideal gas behavior.
b) If Z > 1, repulsive forces dominate; if Z < 1, attractive forces dominate.
