A bucket full of water is placed in a room at 15°C with initial relative humidity 40%. The volume of the room is 50 m3. (a) How much water will evaporate? (b) If the room temperature is increased by 5°C, how much more water will evaporate? The saturation vapour pressure of water at 15°C and 20°C are 1.6 kPa and 2.4 kPa respectively.

उत्तर
(a) Relative humidity is given by
`(VP)/("SVP at" 15^circC)`
⇒ 0.4 = `(VP)/(1.6 xx 10^3)`
⇒VP = `0.4 xx 1.6 xx 10^3`
Evaporation occurs as long as the atmosphere is not saturated.
Net pressure change = `1.6 xx 10^3 - 0.4 xx 1.6 xx 10^3`
=`(1.6 - 0.4 xx 1.6)10^3`
=`0.96 xx 10^3`
Let the mass of water evaporated be m. Then,
⇒ `0.96 xx 10^3 xx 50 = (m xx 8.3 xx 288)/18`
⇒ `m = (0.96 xx 50 xx 18 xx 10^3)/(8.3 xx 288)`
=361.45 ≈ 361 g
(b) At `20^circC` , SVP = 2.4 KPa
At `15^circC` , SVP = 1.6 KPa
Net pressure change = `(2.4 - 1.6) xx 10^3 Pa`
= `0.8 xx 10^3 Pa`
Mass of water evaporated is given by
`m = (m^' xx 8.3 xx 293)/18`
⇒ `m^' = (0.8 xx 50 xx 18 xx 10^3)/(8.3 xx 293)`
= 296.06 ≈ 296 g

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.]
While gas from a cooking gas cylinder is used, the pressure does not fall appreciably till the last few minutes. Why?
If it were possible for a gas in a container to reach the temperature 0 K, its pressure would be zero. Would the molecules not collide with the walls? Would they not transfer momentum to the walls?
Explain why cooking is faster in a pressure cooker.
