उत्तर
- Gases are made of tiny particles that move in all possible directions at all possible speeds. The size of the molecules is small as compared to the volume of the occupied gas.
- There is no force of attraction between gas particles or between the particles and the walls of the container. So, the particles are free to move in the entire space available to them.
- The moving particles of gas collide with each other and with the walls of the container. Because of these collisions, gas molecules exert pressure. Gases exert the same pressure in all directions.
- There is a large interparticle space between gas molecules, and this accounts for high compressibility of gases.
- The volume of a gas increases with a decrease in pressure and an increase in temperature.
- Gases have a low density as they have large intermolecular spaces between their molecules.
- Gases have a natural tendency to mix with one and other because of large intermolecular spaces. So, two gases when mixed form a homogeneous gaseous mixture.
- The intermolecular space of a gas is reduced because of cooling. Molecules come closer resulting in liquefaction of the gas.

The volume-temperature relationship is given by
2 liters of gas is enclosed in a vessel at a pressure of 760 mmHg. If the temperature remains constant, calculate pressure when volume changes to 4 dm3.
88 cm3 of nitrogen is at a pressure of 770 mm mercury. If the pressure is raised to 880 mmHg, find by how much the volume will diminish, the temperature remaining constant.
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.
Taking the volume of hydrogen as calculated in Q.19, what change must be made in Kelvin (absolute) temperature to return the volume to 2500 cm3 (pressure remaining constant)?
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.
The following question refers to one mole of chlorine gas.
What volume will it occupy at 273°C?
