A student forgets to add the reaction mixture to a flask at 27C. However he placed the flask on the flame. After a lapse of time he recorded the temperature of the flask with the help of a pyrometer and it was found to be 477C. What fraction of air would have been expelled out?

Expert Answer:
Method – 1 :
According to Ideal gas equation PV = nRT
If initial no. of moles of gas in V lit container = 1
Method – 2 :
Suppose volume of vessel = V cm3
i.e. volume of air in the flask at 27 °C = V cm3
According to Charle’s law,

∴ Since volume gas is equal to volume of container and during heating volume of
container will not increase.

- A container containing hydrogen gas is heated such that its volume increases by 40% and pressure decreases to 80% of its original value. If the original temperature was – 130C, calculate the temperature to which the gas was heated.
- A gas occupies a volume of 340 CC at STP find its volume at 20 degrees celsius and 700 mm of HG
- 100cm3 of a gas at 27°c is cooled to 20°c at constant pressure .calculate volume of a gas at 20°c
- A vessel of capacity 600 cm cube contains hydrogen gas at a pressure of 304 cm what will be the pressure of hydrogen gas when the vessel is connected to another vessel of 300 cm cube capacity
- It is found, on heating a gas, its volume increases by 50% and pressure decreases to 60% of its original value. If the original temperature was -15 degree celcius, find the temperature to which it was heated in celcius
- At constant temperature, a gas is at a pressure of 1080 mm Hg. If the volume is decreased by 40%, find the new pressure of gas
- a gas occupies 200 cm3 at 27 degree celsius. what is its volume at 51 degree celsius , the pressure being kept constant?
- Ammonia gas occupies volume of 450ml at a pressure of 720mm of HG what volume will it occupies at standard pressure at the same temperature
- A gas x occupies a volume of 200ml at a pressure of 4 atmospheres. If the temperature remains constant what volume will it occupy at 1atmospheric pressure
- I didn’t understood v vs 1/p graph
