1 mole of CCl4 vapours at 77oC occupies a volume of 35.0 L. If vander waal’s constants are a = 20.39 L 2 atm mol–2 and b = 0.1383 L mol–1, calculate compressibility factor Z under (a) low pressure region. (b) high pressure region.

Two moles of ammonia gas are enclosed in a vessel of 5 litre capacity at 27oC. Calculate the pressure exerted by the gas, assuming that (i) the gas behaves like an ideal gas (using ideal gas equation). (ii) the gas behaves like a real gas (using van der Waal’s equation). Given that for ammonia, a = 4.17 atm litre2 mol–2 and b = 0.037 litre mol–1

The compressibility factor for 1 mole of a van der Waals gas at 0oC and 100 atm pressure is found to be 0.5. Assuming that the volume of a gas molecule is negligible, calculate the van der Waals constant, a.

The rms speed of an ideal gas at 27°C is 0.3 ms–1 . Its rms speed at 927°C (in ms–1) is

The rms speed of CO2 at a temperature T (in kelvin) is x cm s–1.At what temperature (in kelvin) the rms speed of nitrous oxide would be 4x cm s–1 ?
