HC Verma Solutions of Ch-24 Vol-2 Concept of Physics for Class-12
(Page-33)
Question-1 :-
Which of the following parameters is the same for molecules of all gases at a given temperature?
(a) Mass
(b) Speed
(c) Momentum
(d) Kinetic energy.
Answer-1 :-
Temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas sample. Average is same for all the molecules of the sample. So, kinetic energy is the same for all.
Hence, correct answer is d.
Question-2 :- (Kinetic Theory of Gases Obj-1 HC Verma Solutions)
A gas behaves more closely as an ideal gas at
(a) low pressure and low temperature
(b) low pressure and high temperature
(c) high pressure and low temperature
(d) high pressure and high temperature.
Answer-2 :-
At low pressure, the concentration of gas molecules is very low. Hence, the kinetic assumption that the size of the molecules can be neglected compared to the volume of the container applies.
At high temperature, molecules move very fast. So, they tend to collide elastically and forces of interaction between the molecules minimise. This is the required idea condition.
Question-3 :-
The pressure of an ideal gas is written as P=2E/3V . Here E refers to
(a) translational kinetic energy
(b) rotational kinetic energy
(c) vibrational kinetic energy
(d) total kinetic energy.
Answer-3 :-
According to the kinetic theory, molecules show straight line in motion (translational). So, the kinetic energy is essentially transitional.
Question-4 :-
The energy of a given sample of an ideal gas depends only on its
(a) volume
(b) pressure
(c) density
(d) temperature
Answer-4 :-
Temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its kinetic energy. Thus, energy of an ideal gas depends only on its temperature.
Question-5 :-
Which of the following gases has maximum hms speed at a given temperature?
(a) hydrogen
(b) nitrogen
(c) oxygen
(d) carbon dioxide.
Answer-5 :-
Question-6 :-
Figure 24-Q1 shows graphs of pressure vs density for an ideal gas at two temperatures T1 and T2.
Figure 24-Q1
(a) T1 > T2
(b) T1 = T2
(c) T1 < T2
(d) Any of the three is possible.
Answer-6 :-
The straight line T1 has greater slope than T2. This means P/ρ ratio is greater for T1 than T2. Now, rms velocity of a gas is given by √3P/ρ . This means rms velocity of gas with T1 molecules is greater than T2 molecules. Again, gas with higher temperature has higher rms velocity.
So, T1 > T2.
Question-7 :-
The mean square speed of the molecules of a gas at absolute temperature T is proportional to
(a) 1/T
(b) √T
(c) T
(d) T2
Answer-7 :-
Root mean squared velocity is given by
Question-8 :-
Suppose a container is evacuated to leave just one molecule of a gas in it. Let va and vrms represent the average speed and the rms speed of the gas.
(a) va > vrms
(b) va < vrms
(c) va = vrms
(d) vrms is undefined.
Answer-8 :-
Speed is constant and same for a single molecule. Thus, rms speed will be equal to its average speed.
Question-9 :-
The rms speed of oxygen at room temperature is about 500 m/s. The rms speed of hydrogen at the same temperature is about
(a) 125 m s−1
(b) 2000 m s−1
(c) 8000 m s−1
(d) 31 m s−1.
Answer-9 :-
Molecular mass of hydrogen, MH = 2
Molecular mass of oxygen, Mo = 32
RMS speed is given by,

Question-10 :- (Kinetic Theory of Gases Obj-1 HC Verma Solutions)
The pressure of a gas kept in an isothermal container is 200 kPa. If half the gas is removed from it, the pressure will be
(a) 100 kPa
(b) 200 kPa
(c) 400 kPa
(d) 800 kPa
Answer-10 :-
Let the number of moles in the gas be n.
Applying equation of state, we get
When half of the gas is removed, number of moles left behind =n/2
Let the pressure be P’ .
Question-11 :-
The rms speed of oxygen molecules in a gas is v. If the temperature is doubled and the oxygen molecules dissociate into oxygen atoms, the rms speed will become
(a) v
(b) v√2
(c) 2v
(d) 4v
Answer-11 :-
Question-12 :-
The quantity pV/kT represents
(a) mass of the gas
(b) kinetic energy of the gas
(c) number of moles of the gas
(d) number of molecules in the gas.
Answer-12 :-
Here ,
PV=nRT…(1)
Also ,
Question-13 :-
The process on an ideal gas, shown in figure, is
(a) isothermal
(b) isobaric
(c) isochoric
(d) none of these
Answer-13 :-
According to the graph, P is directly proportional to T.
Applying the equation of state, we get
PV = nRT
So, V is also a constant .
Constant V implies the process is isochoric.
Question-14 :-
There is some liquid in a closed bottle. The amount of liquid is continuously decreasing. The vapour in the remaining part
(a) must be saturated
(b) must be unsaturated
(c) may be saturated
(d) there will be no vapour.
Answer-14 :-
As the liquid is decreasing, the liquid is vaporised. We know that vaporisation cannot occur in saturated air and there cannot be any liquid with no vapour at all. So, the vapour in the remaining part is unsaturated.
Question-15 :-
There is some liquid in a closed bottle. The amount of liquid remains constant as time passes. The vapour in the remaining part
(a) must be saturated
(b) must be unsaturated
(c) may be unsaturated
(d) there will be no vapour.
Answer-15 :-
Since the amount of liquid is constant, there is no vaporisation of the liquid inside the bottle. Also, since there cannot be a liquid with no vapours at all and vaporisation cannot take place in the remaining saturated part, the remaining part must be saturated with the vapours of the liquid.
Question-16 :-
Vapour is injected at a uniform rate in a closed vessel which was initially evacuated. The pressure in the vessel
(a) increases continuously
(b) decreases continuously
(c) first increases and then decreases
(d) first increases and then becomes constant.
Answer-16 :-
As the vapour is injected, the pressure of the chamber increases. But when the pressure becomes equal to the saturated vapour pressure, it condenses. So, if more vapour is injected beyond the saturated vapour pressure, the vapour will condense and thus the vapour pressure will be constant.
Question-17 :-
A vessel A has volume V and a vessel B has volume 2V. Both contain some water which has a constant volume. The pressure in the space above water is pa for vessel A and pbfor vessel B.
(a) pa = pb
(b) pa = 2pb
(c) pb = 2pa
(d) pb = 4pa
Answer-17 :-
The maximum pressure attainable above the water will be saturated vapour pressure at that temperature. Since saturated vapour pressure does not depend upon volume, both the vessels will have same pressure.
