IMPORTANT

The number of moles of an ideal gas that should be taken in a closed vessel of 30 L capacity at a temperature of  27C so that the pressure exerted by the gas on the walls of the container is 4.1 atmosphere is

HARD
11th CBSE
IMPORTANT

If for a particular reaction, the difference in the heat evolved when the reaction is carried out at constant pressure and that at constant volume at  27C  is nearly 5 KJ mol-1, then the difference in the number of moles of gaseous reactants and products is

HARD

IMPORTANT

The ratio of Cp value of a triatomic gas to the Cv value of a monatomic gas is

MEDIUM
11th CBSE
IMPORTANT

The enthalpy of neutralisation of 0.4 M H2SO4 will be how many times the enthalpy of neutralisation of  0.1 MHCl ?

HARD
11th CBSE
IMPORTANT

In a constant volume calorimeter, 3.5 g of a gas with molecular weight 28 was burnt in excess oxygen at 298.0K. The temperature of the calorimeter was found to increase from 298.0 K to 298.45 K due to the combustion process. Given that the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 2.5 KJ K-1, the numerical value for the enthalpy of combustion of the gas in KJ mol-1 is

HARD
11th CBSE
IMPORTANT

One mole of an ideal gas is taken from ab along two paths denoted by the solid and the dashed lines as shown in the graph below. If the work done along the solid line path is Ws and that along the dotted line path is Wd, then the integer closest to the ratio WdWs is
