Assertion : Gases become denser at high pressure.
Reason : At high pressures, real gases deviate from Boyle's law.

A

If both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

B

If both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

C

If (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect.

D

If both (A) and (R) are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
When a given mass of a gas is compressed, the same number of molecules occupy a smaller space. Hence, gases become denser at high pressure.

Why do real gases deviate from ideal behaviour?

Real gases behave ideally at low temperature and high pressure. b) Justify.

Assertion: The pressure of real gas is less than the pressure of the ideal gas. Reason :The intermolecular forces of attraction in real gases are greater than these of ideal gas.

Assertion: The decomposition of gaseous ammonia on a hot platinum surface is a zero order reaction at high pressure. Reason: For a zero order reaction, the rate of reaction is independent of initial concentration.

Langmuir adsorption isotherm under high pressure is represented as

Two differen gases 'A' and 'B' are filled in separate containers of equal capacity under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. On increasing the pressure slightly, the gas 'A' liquefies but gas B does not liquefy even on applying high pressure until it is cooled. Explain this phenomenon.
