Simulator Previous Years JEE Advance Questions [esquestion] At 400 K, the root mean square (rms) speed of a gas X (molecular weight = 40) is equal to the most probable speed of gas Y at 60 K. The molecular weight of the gas Y is - #tag# [JEE 2009] #sol# 4 [/esquestion] [esquestion] The term that corrects for the attractive forces present in a real gas in the Vander Waals' equation is - (A) nb (B) $\frac{\mathrm{an}^{2}}{\mathrm{V}^{2}}$ $(\mathrm{C})-\frac{\mathrm{an}^{2}}{\mathrm{V}^{2}}$ (D) –nb #tag# [JEE 2009] #sol# (B) Attractive force term of real gas is represented by $\frac{\mathrm{n}^{2} \mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{v}^{2}}$ [/esquestion] [esquestion] To an evacuated vessel with movable piston under external pressure of 1 atm., 0.1 mol of He and 1.0 mol of an unknown compound (vapour pressure 0.68 atm. at $\left.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$) are introduced. Considering the ideal gas behaviour, the total volume (in litre) of the gases at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is close to - #tag# [JEE 2011] #sol# 7 PV = nRT 0.32 × V = 0.1 × 0.0821 × 273 V = 7 litre [/esquestion] [esquestion] For one mole of a van der Waals' gas when b = 0 and T = 300 K, the PV vs. 1/V plot is shown below. The value of the van der Waals' constant a (atm. litre $^{2} \mathrm{mol}^{-2}$) is (A) 1.0 (B) 4.5 (C) 1.5 (D) 3.0 #tag# [JEE 2012] #sol# (C) If $\mathrm{b}=0 ;\left(\mathrm{P}+\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{Vm}^{2}}\right) \times \mathrm{Vm}=\mathrm{RT}$ $\mathrm{PVm}+\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{Vm}}=\mathrm{RT}$ $\mathrm{PVm}+\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{Vm}}=\mathrm{RT}$ of the form, y = c + mx here, m = –a $\mathrm{m}=\frac{\mathrm{y}_{2}-\mathrm{y}_{1}}{\mathrm{x}_{2}-\mathrm{x}_{1}}=\frac{21.6-20.1}{2-3.0}=-1.5$ $\therefore \mathrm{a}=1.5 \mathrm{atm} \mathrm{L}^{2} \mathrm{mol}^{-2}$ [/esquestion] Paragraph for Question 5 & 6 X and Y are two volatile liquids with molar weights of 10g $\operatorname{mol}^{-1}$ and 40g $\operatorname{mol}^{-1}$ respectively. Two cotton plugs, one soaked in X and the other soaked in Y, are simultaneously placed at the ends of a tube of length L = 24 cm, as shown in the figure. The tube is filled with an inert gas at 1 atmosphere pressure and a temperature of 300K. Vapours of X and Y react to form a product which is first observed at a distance d cm from the plug soaked in X. Take X and Y to have equal molecular diameters and assume ideal behaviour for the inert gas and the two vapours. [esquestion] The value of d in cm (shown in the figure), as estimated from Graham's law, is – (A) 8 (B) 12 (C) 16 (D) 20 #tag# [JEE 2014] #sol# (C) [/esquestion] [esquestion] The experimetnal value of d is found to be smaller than the estimate obtained using Graham's law. This is due to – (A) Larger mean free path for X as compared to that of Y (B) Larger mean free path for Y as compared to that of X (C) Increased collision frequency of Y with the inert gas as compared to that of X with the inert gas (D) Increased collision frequency of X with the inert gas as compared to that of Y with the inert gas #tag# [JEE 2014] #sol# (D) [/esquestion] [esquestion] One mole of a monoatomic real gas satisfies the equation P(V– b) = RT where b is a constant. The relationship of interatomic potential V(r) and interatomic distance r for the gas is given by – (A) (B) (C) (D) #tag# [JEE 2015] #sol# (C) P(v – b) = RT Using thermodynamic equation of state, we get [/esquestion] [esquestion] The diffusion coefficient of an ideal gas is proportional to its mean free path and mean speed. The absolute temperature of an ideal gas is increased 4 times and its pressure is increased 2 times. As a result, the diffusion coefficient of this gas increases x times. The value of x is #tag# [JEE - Adv. 2016] #sol# 4 Rate of diffusion $\propto \lambda \times U_{\text {Avg }}$ $\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} \pi \sigma^{2} \mathrm{N}^{*}} \times \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{Avg}}$ $\propto \frac{\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{Avg}}}{\sqrt{2} \pi \sigma^{2} \mathrm{N}^{*}}$ $\propto \frac{\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{Avg}}(\mathrm{kT})}{\sqrt{2 \pi \sigma^{2} \mathrm{P}}}$ Rate of diffusion $\propto \frac{\mathrm{T}^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\mathrm{P}}$ $\frac{\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{final}}}{\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{initial}}}=\frac{(4)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{2}$ $\frac{\mathrm{r}_{\text {final }}}{\mathrm{r}_{\text {inital }}}=4$ [/esquestion] [esquestion] A closed tank has two compartments A and B, both filled with oxygen (assumed to be ideal gas). The partition separating the two compartments is fixed and is a perfect heat insulator (Figure 1). If the old partition is replaced by a new partition which can slide and conduct heat but does NOT allow the gas to leak across (Figure 2), the volume (in $m^{3}$ ) of the compartment A after the system attains equilibrium is____. #tag# [JEE - Adv. 2018] #sol# -14.6 [/esquestion] [esquestion] The surface of copper gets tarnished by the formation of copper oxide. $\mathrm{N}_{2}$ gas was passed to prevent the oxide formation during heating of copper at 1250 K. However, the N2 gas contains 1 mole % of water vapour as impurity. The water vapour oxidises copper as per the reaction given below : $2 \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{g})$ $\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{H} 2}$ is the minimum partial pressure of $\mathrm{H}_{2}$ (in bar) needed to prevent the oxidation at 1250 K. The value of ln $\left(\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{H} 2}\right)$ is ___. (Given : total pressure = 1 bar, R (universal gas constant) = 8 $\mathrm{JK}^{-1} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$ , ln(10) = 2.3. Cu(s) and $\mathrm{Cu}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{s})$ are mutually immiscible. At $1250 \mathrm{K}: 2 \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{s})+1 / 2 \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{s}) ; \Delta \mathrm{G}^{\theta}=-78,000 \mathrm{J} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$ $\left.\mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{g})+1 / 2 \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) ; \Delta \mathrm{G}^{\theta}=-1,78,000 \mathrm{J} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} ; \mathrm{G} \text { is the Gibbs energy }\right)$ #tag# [JEE - Adv. 2018] #sol# 2.22 [/esquestion]
