The temperature and the relative humidity are 300 K and 20% in a room of volume 50 m3. The floor is washed with water, 500 g of water sticking on the floor. Assuming no communication with the surrounding, find the relative humidity when the floor dries. The changes in temperature and pressure may be neglected. Saturation vapour pressure at 300 K = 3.3 kPa.
Use R = 8.31 J K-1 mol-1

उत्तर
Here ,
M = 18g for water
m = 500g
V = 50 m3
T = 300K
SVP = 3300 Pa
RH = 20%
`(VP)/(SVP) = 0.2`
⇒ VP = `P_1` = `0.2 xx 3300 = 660 "Pa"`
Partial pressure `"P"_2` For evaporated water is given by
`P_2V = m/MRT`
⇒ `P_2 = 500/(18 xx 50) xx 8.31 xx 300`
⇒ `P_2 = 1385 "Pa"`
Total pressure , `P = P_1 + P_2 = 1385 + 660 = 2045"Pa"`
`"RH" = (P)/(SVP) xx 100 = 2045/3300 xx 100% = 61.9 ≈ 62%`

From a certain apparatus, the diffusion rate of hydrogen has an average value of 28.7 cm3 s–1. The diffusion of another gas under the same conditions is measured to have an average rate of 7.2 cm3 s–1. Identify the gas
[Hint: Use Graham’s law of diffusion: R1/R2 = (M2/M1)1/2, where R1, R2 are diffusion rates of gases 1 and 2, and M1 and M2 their respective molecular masses. The law is a simple consequence of kinetic theory.]

Air is pumped into an automobile tyre's tube up to a pressure of 200 kPa in the morning when the air temperature is 20°C. During the day the temperature rises to 40°C and the tube expands by 2%. Calculate the pressure of the air in the tube at this temperature.

A barometer correctly reads the atmospheric pressure as 76 cm of mercury. Water droplets are slowly introduced into the barometer tube by a dropper. The height of the mercury column first decreases and then becomes constant. If the saturation vapour pressure at the atmospheric temperature is 0.80 cm of mercury, find the height of the mercury column when it reaches its minimum value.
A faulty barometer contains certain amount of air and saturated water vapour. It reads 74.0 cm when the atmospheric pressure is 76.0 cm of mercury and reads 72.10 cm when the atmospheric pressure is 74.0 cm of mercury. Saturation vapour pressure at the air temperature = 1.0 cm of mercury. Find the length of the barometer tube above the mercury level in the reservoir.
