Pressure of 1 g of an ideal gas A at 27 | Class 11 Chemistry Chapter States of Matter, States of Matter NCERT Solutions

Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry - Chapter States of Matter. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 1, Question 5: . With detailed answers and explanations for each chapter, students can strengthen their understanding and prepare confidently for exams. Ideal for CBSE and other board students, this resource will simplify your study experience.

Question 5:

Pressure of 1 g of an ideal gas A at 27 °C is found to be 2 bar. When 2 g of another ideal gas B is introduced in the same flask at same temperature the pressure becomes 3 bar. Find a relationship between their molecular masses.

Answer:

Mass of gas A , WA = 1g

Mass of gas B,  WB = 2g

Pressure exerted by the gas A = 2 bar

Total pressure due to both the gases = 3 bar

In this case temperature & volume remain constant

Now if MA & MB are molar masses of the gases A & B respectively,therefore

pA V= WA RT/MA & Ptotal V = (WA/MA + WB/ MB) RT

= 2 X V = 1 X RT/MA & 3 X V = (1/MA + 2/MB)RT

From these two equations, we get

3/2 = (1/MA + 2/MB) / (1 /MA) = (MB + 2MA) / MB

This result in 2MA/ MB = (3/2) -1 = ½

OR MB = 4MA

Thus, a relationship between the molecular masses of A and B is given by

4MA = MB
