With the increase of pressure, the mean free path:

1. decreases                             

2. increases

3. becomes zero                       

4. remains the same

The compressibility factor of an ideal gas is:

4. 0.082 L^-1 atm^-1 K mol

The partial pressure of a dry gas is:

1. less than that of wet gas

The number of molecules present in 1 mL of gas or vapor at STP is:

1. called Loschmidt's number

2. equal to 2.617 x 10¹⁹ per mL

 Air at sea level is dense. This is a practical application of:

1. Boyle's law                         

2. Charles' law

3. Avogadro's law                   

4. Dalton's law

In van der Waals' equation of state of the gas, the constant 'b' is a measure of:

1. Intermolecular collisions per unit volume

2. Intermolecular attraction

3. Volume occupied by molecules

4. Intermolecular repulsions

For 1 mole of gas, the average kinetic energy is given as E. The u_rms of gas is :

1. [2E/M]^1/2

2. [3E/M]^1/2

3. [2E/3M]^1/2

4. [3E/2M]^1/2

600 cc of a gas at a pressure of 750 mm is compressed to 500 cc. Taking the temperature to remain constant, the increase in pressure is:                                         

1. 150 mm                       

2. 250 mm

3. 350 mm                      

4. 450 mm

An ideal gas expands according to PV=constant. On expansion, the temperature of the gas:

1. Will rise.

2. Will drop.

3. Will remain constant.

4. Cannot be determined because the external pressure is not known.
