Gaseous state
Question

  • To an evacuated vessel with movable piston, under external pressure of 1 atm, 0.1 mole of He and 1.0 mole of an unknown compound (vapour pressure 0.68 atm. at 0° C) are introduced. Considering the ideal gas behaviour, the total volume (in litre) of the gases at 0°C is close to the nearest integer

Moderate
Solution

For any ideal gas, PV = nRT

For He, n = 0.1, P = 0.32 atm., V = ?,T = 273

0.32×V=0.1×0.0821×273

V = 7L

(unknown compound X will not follow ideal gas equation)
