Q48 of 55 Page 61

In the following questions a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below each question.

Assertion (A): At critical temperature liquid passes into gaseous state imperceptibly and continuously


Reason (R): The density of liquid and gaseous phase is equal to critical temperature.


(i) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.


(ii) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.


(iii) A is true but R is false.


(iv) A is false but R is true


(i)

We know that at critical temperature the boundary between the liquid and the gas vanishes and as a result of this removal of liquid –gas boundary, the liquid passes into gaseous state imperceptibly and continuously.


As the reason is true and correct explanation of the assertion.


Hence, (i) is correct option.

Assertion (A): The temperature at which vapour pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure is called boiling temperature.


Reason (R): At high altitude atmospheric pressure is high.


(i) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.


(ii) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.


(iii) A is true but R is false.


(iv)A is false but R is true.

In the following questions a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below each question.

Assertion (A): Gases do not liquefy above their critical temperature, even on applying high pressure.


Reason (R): Above critical temperature, the molecular speed is high and intermolecular attractions cannot hold the molecules together because they escape because of high speed.


(i) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.


(ii) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.


(iii) A is true but R is false.


(iv)A is false but R is true.

Assertion (A): Liquids tend to have maximum number of molecules at their surface.


Reason (R): Small liquid drops have spherical shape.


(i) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.


(ii) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.


(iii) A is true but R is false.


(iv) A is false but R is true.


iv) A is false but R is true.

(i) In which state will CO2 exist between the points a and b at temperature T1?


(ii) At what point will CO2 start be liquefying when temperature is T1?


(iii) At what point will CO2 be completely liquefied when temperature is T2.


(iv) Will condensation take place when the temperature is T3.


(v) What portion of the isotherm at T1represent liquid and gaseous CO2 at equilibrium?
