Question Explanation : A gaseous mixture contains 8 g of helium and 16 g of oxygen. Using

the given masses and the nature of the gases, the ratio ​for the mixture is to be calculated.

Concept: Ratio of specific heats of an ideal gas mixture

Formula :

Solution:
For helium (monoatomic gas):
Mass of He = 8 g
Molar mass of He = 4 g/mol

For monoatomic gas,

For oxygen (diatomic gas):

Mass of O2 = 16 g
Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

For diatomic gas,

Now applying mixture formula:

Final answer: Option (A)

12) Mean kinetic energy of molecule depends upon temperature only. For O2 it is same as that
 of H2 at the same temperature of –73°C.

13) In an isothermal process, temperature remains constant and since internal energy is a
function of temperature only, therefore there will be no change in the internal energy ΔU = 0
Using the first law of thermodynamics
ΔU = Q – W = 0
or Q = W = + 600 J
Thus, the gas absorbs 600 J of heat from the surroundings.

For N2, P1V = ....(i)

For CO2, P2V = .......(ii)

( = 12 + 16 × 2 = 44)
Adding eqs. (i) and (ii),

Given P1 + P2 = 1 atm = 1.013 × 105 N/m2

= =
V = 6.0 m3

Density =

=
Final answer: Option (A)

15)
16)
When the piston is allowed to move the gases are kept separated but the pressure has to be
equal.
(P1 = P2) and final volume x and (6V – x), the no of moles are same in initial and final position
at each parts.
∵ P1 = P2 PV = n1RT

⇒
⇒ 6V – x = 2x ⇒ x = 2V and 6V – x
⇒ 6V – 2V = 4V
∴ (2V, 4V).

17) During process A to B, pressure and volume both are decreasing. Therefore, temperature
and hence, internal energy of the gas will decrease (T ∝ PV) or negative. Further
is also negative as the volume of the gas is decreasing. Thus is negative.
In process B to C pressure of the gas is constant while volume is increasing. Hence
temperature should increase or = positive. During
C to A volume is constant while pressure is increasing. Therefore, temperature and hence,
internal energy of the gas should increase or = positive. During process CAB volume
of the gas is decreasing. Hence, work done by the gas is negative.

19) From the first law of thermodynamics

ΔU = Uf – Ui = Q – W ...(i)
where Q is the heat absorbed by the system at W is the work done by the system.
For the path iaf; we have
Q = + 50 cal, W = +20 cal
∴ ΔU = Q – W = 50 – 20 = 30 cal
Since internal energy of the system is a function of its thermodynamic state and depends only
 on temperature and no other factor. Therefore ΔU between i to f is always 30 cal whatever
path be adopted.
For the path ibf,
Q = +36 cal and ΔU = 30 cal
∴ W = Q – DU = 36 – 30 = 6 cal

Explain the question: Explain why Fluorine's electron gain enthalpy is less negative than
Chlorine's.
Concept: This question is based on Factors affecting Electron Gain Enthalpy (Size and
Repulsion).
Solution:

A. Anomaly: ΔegH for F is less negative than for Cl .

B. Reason: Fluorine has an exceptionally small size.
C. The incoming electron enters the compact 2p subshell, leading to strong inter-electronic
repulsion.
D. This repulsion makes electron addition less favorable for F than for Cl (which has a larger
3p subshell).

Final Answer:
The correct option is (D)

Concept: Ionic radii trend for isoelectronic species.
Solution:

A. Na+, Mg2+ and Al3+ are isoelectronic (all have 10e–).

B. Ionic radius decreases as the nuclear charge (Z) increases.
C. Nuclear Charge Order: Na+(+11) < Mg2+(+12) < Al3+(+13).
D. Ionic Radius Order: r(Na+) > r(Mg2+) > r(Al3+).
E. Given r(Na+) = 1.02 Å.
F. The predicted values must follow the trend: 1.02 ÅA > r(Mg2+) > r(Al3+).
G. Option 2 provides the correct values: r(Mg2+) ≈ 0.72Å and r(Al3+) ≈ 0.54Å.
