Answer:
No, kinetic energy of the molecules does not increase. This is because velocity of the molecules does not increase with respect to the walls of the gas cylinder, when the cylinder is kept in a vehicle moving with a uniform motion. However, if the vehicle is accelerated or decelerated, then there will be a change in the gas's kinetic energy and there will be a rise in the temperature.
Page No 32:
Answer:
Inside a cooking gas cylinder, the gas is kept in the liquid state using high pressure. Boiling point of a liquid depends on the pressure above its surface. Higher the pressure above the liquid, higher will be its boiling point.
When the gas oven is switched on, the vapour pressure inside the cylinder decreases. To compensate this fall in pressure, more liquid undergoes phase transition (vapourisation) to build up the earlier pressure. In this way, more and more gas evaporates from the liquified state at constant pressure.
Page No 32:
Answer:
No, the gas won't obey ideal gas equation due to the following reasons:
1. In a cooking gas cylinder, the gas is kept at high pressure and at room temperature. Real gases behave ideally only at low pressure and high temperature.
2. Cooking gas is kept in liquid state inside the cylinder becaue liquid state does not obey the ideal gas equation.
Page No 32:
Answer:
(a) Temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of he partciles. In a vacuum, devoid of any electromagnetic fields and molecules or entities, the temperature cannot be defined as there are no molecules or atoms or entities.
(b) No, we cannot define temperature of a single molecule. Since temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles, it is defined only statistically for a large collection of molecules.
Page No 32:
Answer:
Yes, at equilibrium all the molecules in a sample of gas have the same temperature. This is because temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy for all the molecules in a system. Since all the molecules have the same average, temperature will be the same for all the molecules.

Answer:
Yes, according to the postulates of kinetic theory, a gas of neutrons will be a better ideal gas than hydrogen. The reasons are given below:
1. As per the Kinetic theory, neutrons do not interact with each othe. Molecules of an ideal gas should also not interact with each other. On the other hand, hydrogen molecules interact with each other owing to the presence of charges in them.
2. Neutrons are smaller than hydrogen. This fulfils another kinetic theory postulate that gas molecules should be points and should have negligible size.
Page No 32:
Answer:
No, the pressure on gas won't increase because of this. The pressure will not be transferred to the gas, but to the container and to the ground.
Page No 32:
Answer:
Since the pressure would be zero, the molecules would not collide with the walls and would not transfer momentum to the walls. This is because pressure of a gas is formed due to the molecule's collision with the walls of the container.
Page No 32:
Answer:
Two postulates of kinetic theory will not be valid in this case. These are given below:
1. All gases are made up of molecules moving randomly in all directions
2. When a gas is left for a sufficient time, it comes to a steady state. The density and the distribution of molecules with different velocities are independent of position, direction and time.
Page No 32:
Answer:
If the gas is ideal, there will be no temperature change. Moreover, Charles's law relates volume with temperature not pressure with temperature, so the cause behind the phenomena cannot be explained by Charles's law.
Page No 32:
Answer:
In a pressure cooker, the vapour pressure over the water surface is more than the atmospheric pressure. This means boiling point of the water will be higher in the pressure cooker than in the open. This will let the cereals and food to be cooked in higher temperature than at 1000C,. Thus, cooking process gets faster.
Page No 32:
Answer:
If the molecules are not allowed to collide with each other, they will have long mean free paths and hence, evaporation will be faster. In vacuum, the external pressure will be very low. So, the liquid will boil and evaporate at very low temperature.
Page No 32:
Answer:
Yes, it is possible to boil water at 300C by reducing the external pressure. A liquid boils when its vapour pressure equals external pressure. By lowering the external pressure, it is possible to boil the liquid at low temperatures.
No, the flask containing water boiling at 300C will not be hot.
Page No 32:
Answer:
After a dip in the river, the water that sticks to our body gets evaporated. We know that evaporation takes place faster for higher temperatures. Thus, the molecules that have the highest kinetic energy leave faster and that is how heat is given away from our body.
As a result of it, temperature of our body falls down due to loss of heat and we feel cold.
Page No 33:
Answer:
(d) Kinetic energy.
Temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas sample. Average is same for all the molecules of the sample. So, kinetic energy is the same for all.
Hence, correct answer is (d).
Page No 33:
Answer:
At low pressure, the concentration of gas molecules is very low. Hence, the kinetic assumption that the size of the molecules can be neglected compared to the volume of the container applies.
At high temperature, molecules move very fast. So, they tend to collide elastically and forces of interaction between the molecules minimise. This is the required idea condition.
Thus, (b) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Answer:
According to the kinetic theory, molecules show straight line in motion (translational). So, the kinetic energy is essentially transitional.
Thus, (a) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Answer:
Temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its kinetic energy. Thus, energy of an ideal gas depends only on its temperature.
Thus, (d) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Answer:
The rms speed of a gas is given by .
Since hydrogen has the lowest Mo compared to other molecules, it will have the highest rms speed.
Thus, (a) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Answer:
The straight line T1 has greater slope than T2. This means ratio is greater for T1 than T2. Now, rms velocity of a gas is given by . This means rms velocity of gas with T1 molecules is greater than T2 molecules. Again, gas with higher temperature has higher rms velocity.
So, T1 > T2.
Thus, (a) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Answer:
Root mean squared velocity is given by
Thus, (c) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Answer:
Speed is constant and same for a single molecule. Thus, rms speed will be equal to its average speed.
Thus, (c) is the correct answer.

Answer:
According to the graph, P is directly proportional to T.
Applying the equation of state, we get
PV = nRT

Thus, (c) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Answer:
As the liquid is decreasing, the liquid is vapourised. We know that vapourisation cannot occur in saturated air and there cannot be any liquid with no vapour at all. So, the vapour in the remaining part is unsaturated.
Thus, (b) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Answer:
Since the amount of liquid is constant, there is no vapourisation of the liquid inside the bottle. Also, since there cannot be a liquid with no vapours at all and vapourisation cannot take place in the remaining saturated part, the remaining part must be saturated with the vapours of the liquid.
Thus, (a) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Answer:
As the vapour is injected, the pressure of the chamber increases. But when the pressure becomes equal to the saturated vapour pressure, it condenses. So, if more vapour is injected beyond the saturated vapour pressure, the vapour will condense and thus the vapour pressure will be constant.
Thus, (d) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Answer:
The maximum pressure attainable above the water will be saturated vapour pressure at that temperature. Since saturated vapour pressure does not depend upon volume, both the vessels will have same pressure.
Thus, (a) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Answer:
According to Kinetic theory, postulates collision between molecules are elastic. This means that kinetic energy after any collision is conserved because while one one gains kinetic energy, another loses it. Both options, (c) and (d) consider the conservation of kinetic energy in the collision.
Thus, (c) and (d) are correct answers.
Page No 34:
Answer:
The average speed of molecules is given by . We observe that greater the mass, lesser is the average speed of the molecule. Since an oxygen molecule is heavier than a hydrogen molecule, the oxygen molecule will hit the wall with smaller average speed.
Thus, (b) is the correct answer.
Page No 34:
Answer:
The molecules move in all possible directions in an ideal gas at equilibrium. Since momentum is a vector quantity for every direction of motion of the molecules, there exists an opposite direction of motion of the other. Hence, the average momentum is zero for an ideal gas at equilibrium.
Thus, (b) is the correct answer.
Page No 34:
Answer:
Pressure of an ideal gas is given by PV = . We know that pressure depends on volume, number of molecules and root mean square velocity. Also, root mean square velocity depends on the temperature of the gas. Since the number of molecules, volume and temperature are constant, pressure of the gas will not change.
Thus, (c) is the correct answer.
Page No 34:
Answer:
Average momentum of a gas sample is zero, so it does not depend upon any of these parameters.
Thus, (d) is the correct answer.
Page No 34:
Answer:
(a) The kinetic energy of 1 mole
(c) The number of molecules in 1 mole
Kinetic energy per mole of an ideal gas is directly proportional to T. So, it will be the same for all ideal gases.
Number of molecules in 1 mole of an ideal is the same for all ideal gases because ideal gases obey Avogadro's law.
Thus, (a) and (c) are correct answers.

Let the mass of water evaporated be m. Then,
(b) At 20°C, SVP = 2.4 KPa
At 15°C, SVP = 1.6 KPa
Net pressure change = (2.4 − 1.6) × 103 Pa
= 0.8 × 103 Pa
Mass of water evaporated is given by
