Question

  1. a learner investigates the relationship between the pressure and volume of an enclosed diatomic gas at 25 °c. he records the volume of the gas for different pressures in the table below:
pressure (kpa)volume (cm³)( \frac{1}{v} ) (cm⁻³)
80270.04
10022(a)
12018(b)

1.1 write down the name of the gas law being investigated. (1)

answer question 4.2 and question 4.3 on the attached answer sheet.

1.2 two ( \frac{1}{v} ) values in the table, (a) and (b), have not been calculated. calculate these values. (1)

1.3 draw a graph of pressure versus ( \frac{1}{v} ) on the attached answer sheet. (4)

1.4 use the graph to determine the volume of the gas at 88 kpa. (2)

1.5 the mass of the enclosed diatomic gas is ( 2.49 \times 10^{-2} ) g.

4.5.1 use the conditions at a pressure of 100 kpa and calculate the molar mass of the enclosed gas. (6)

4.5.2 write down the molecular formula of the enclosed gas. (1)

1.6 the sketch graph below shows the relationship between volume and temperature for an ideal gas.

graph: volume (cm³) on y - axis, temperature (k) on x - axis, straight line through origin

4.6.1 redraw the above graph in the answer book. on the same set of axes, use a broken line to sketch the graph that will be obtained for the diatomic gas above. (1)

4.6.2 fully explain why this diatomic gas deviates from ideal behaviour.

Brief Explanations

The experiment investigates the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature (25°C). Boyle's Law states that for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, the pressure and volume are inversely proportional (\(P \propto \frac{1}{V}\) or \(PV = \text{constant}\)). So the gas law is Boyle's Law.

Step1: Calculate (a) for \(V = 22 \, \text{cm}^3\)

To find \(\frac{1}{V}\), we take the reciprocal of the volume. So for \(V = 22 \, \text{cm}^3\), \(\frac{1}{V}=\frac{1}{22}\approx 0.0455 \, \text{cm}^{-3}\) (or more precisely \(\frac{1}{22}\)).

Step2: Calculate (b) for \(V = 18 \, \text{cm}^3\)

For \(V = 18 \, \text{cm}^3\), \(\frac{1}{V}=\frac{1}{18}\approx 0.0556 \, \text{cm}^{-3}\) (or \(\frac{1}{18}\)).

Brief Explanations
  1. Axes Setup: Label the x - axis as \(\frac{1}{V} \, (\text{cm}^{-3})\) and the y - axis as Pressure (kPa).
  2. Plotting Points: For each pressure - \(\frac{1}{V}\) pair:
  • (40 kPa, \(\frac{1}{43}\approx0.0233 \, \text{cm}^{-3}\))
  • (80 kPa, 0.04 \(\text{cm}^{-3}\))
  • (100 kPa, \(\frac{1}{22}\approx0.0455 \, \text{cm}^{-3}\))
  • (120 kPa, \(\frac{1}{18}\approx0.0556 \, \text{cm}^{-3}\))
  1. Drawing the Line: Connect the plotted points with a straight line (since Boyle's Law implies a linear relationship between \(P\) and \(\frac{1}{V}\) at constant \(T\)).
