Give reasons for the following:
Mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders with them.

उत्तर
Atmospheric pressure is low at high altitudes. The volume of air increases and the air becomes less dense because the volume is inversely proportional to density. Hence, a lesser volume of oxygen is available for breathing. Thus, mountaineers have to carry oxygen cylinders with them.

Give the assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory.
Explain Charles's law on the basis of the kinetic theory of matter.
Choose the correct answer:
The volume-temperature relationship is given by
Calculate the final volume of a gas 'X' if the original pressure of the gas at STP is doubled and its temperature is increased three times.
It is found that on heating a gas its volume increases by 50% and its pressure decreases to 60% of its original value. If the original temperature was −15°C, find the temperature to which it was heated.
Correct the following statement:
The volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, pressure remaining constant.
At a given temperature the pressure of a gas reduces to 75% of its initial value and the volume increases by 40% of its initial value. Find this temperature if the initial temperature was -10°C.
It is required to reduce the volume of a gas by 20% by compressing it at a constant pressure. To do so, the gas has to be cooled. If the gas attains a final temperature of 157°C, find the initial temperature of the gas.
Fill in the blank with the correct word, from the words in option:
If the temperature of a fixed mass of a gas is kept constant and the pressure is increased, the volume correspondingly _______.
According to Charles’s law, at constant pressure, the temperature is inversely proportional to volume.
