5.22. Higher the critical temperature, more easily the gas can be liquefied, i.e., greater are the intermolecular forces of attraction. Hence, CO2 has stronger intermolecular forces than CH4.

5.20. SI unit of pressure, P = Nm-2
SI unit of volume = m3
Si unit of temperature, T = K
SI unit of number of moles, n = mol
Thus, SI unit of pV2T2/n = (Nm-2) (m3)2 (K) 2mol = Nm4K2mol-1

5.19. As the mixture H2 and O2 contains 20% by weight of dihydrogen, therefore,
If H2 = 20g, then O2 = 80g
No. of moles of H2 = 20/2 = 10 moles
No. of moles of O2 = 80/32 = 2.5 moles
Partial pressure of H2 = [No. of moles of H2/ (No. of moles of H2 + No. of moles of O2)] x
Ptotal= [10 (10 + 2.5)] x 1 = 0.8 bar

5.18. Given, P1 = P2 and V1 = V2
We know that P1V1 = P2V2
Or, n1RT1 = n2RT2
i.e., n1T1 = n2T2
Substituting n = w/M, we get
(W1/M1) x T1 = (W2/M2) x T2
(2.9/M1) x (95 + 273) = (0.184/2) x (17 + 273)
M1 = (2.9 x 368 x 2) / (0.184 x 290) = 40 g mol-1

5.17. No. of moles of CO2 = Given mass of CO2 / Molar mass
= 8.8g / 44g mol-1 = 0.2 mol
Pressure of CO2 = 1 bar
RR = 0.083 bar dm3 K–1 mol–1
T = 273 + 31.1 K = 304.1 K
According to ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT
Therefore, V = nRT/P
= (0.2 x 0.083 x 304.1) / 1 bar = 5.048 L

5.16. Radius of the balloon = 10 m
Therefore, volume of the balloon = (4/3)? r3 = (4/3) x (22/7) x (10 m)3
= 4190.5 m3
Volume of He filled at 1.66 bar and 27 °C = 4290.5 m3
To calculate the mass of He,
PV = nRT = (w/M) RT, where M is molar mass of He i.e. 4 g per mole or 4 x 10-3 kg mol-1
=> w = [ (4 x 10-3 kg mol-1) (1.66 bar) (4190.5 m3)] / [ (0.083 bar dm3 K-1 mol-1) (300K)]
= 1117.5 kg
Total mass of the balloon along with He = 100 + 1117.5 = 1217.5 kg
Maximum mass of the air that can be displaced by balloon to go up = volume x density
= 4190.5 m3 x 1.2 kg m-3 = 5028.6 kg

5.15. Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol
It means, 8 g of O2 has 8/32 mol = 0.25 mol
Molar mass of H2 = 2 g/mol
It means, 4 g of H2 has 4/2 mol = 2 mol
Therefore, total number of moles, n = 2 + 0.25 = 2.25 mol
Given, V = 1dm3, T = 27°C = 300 K, R = 0.083 bar dm3 K-1 mol-1
Applying PV = nRT,
P = nRT / V
= (2.25) (0.083 bar dm3 K-1 mol-1) (300 K) / (1dm3)
= 56.025 bar

5.14. Time taken to distribute 1010 wheat grains = 1s
Time taken to distribute Avogadro number of wheat grains = (1s x 6.022 x 1023) / 1010
= 6.022 x 1013 s
= (6.022 x 1013 / 60 x 60 x 24 x 365) year
= 1.9 x 106 years

5.13. Molecular mass of N2 = 28g
28 g of N2 has No. of molecules = 6.022 x 1023
1.4 g of N2 has No. of molecules = (6.022 x 1023 x 1.4 g)/28 g= 3.011 x 1022 molecules.
Atomic No. of Nitrogen (N) = 7
1 molecule of N2 has electrons = 7 x 2 = 14
3.011 x 1022 molecules of N2 have electrons= 14 x 3.011 x 1022= 4.215 x1023 electrons.
