Two cylinders A and B of equal capacity are connected to each other via a stopcock. A contains a gas at standard temperature and pressure. B is completely evacuated. The entire system is thermally insulated. The stopcock is suddenly opened. Answer the following : Do the intermediate states of the system (before settling to the final equilibrium state) lie on its P-V-T surface ?

Three vessels of equal capacity have gases at the same temperature and pressure. The first vessel contains neon (monatomic), the second contains chlorine (diatomic), and the third contains uranium hexafluoride (polyatomic). Do the vessels contain equal number of respective molecules ? Is the root mean square speed of molecules the same in the three cases? If not, in which case is u_rms the largest ?

Radioactive disintegration is a first order reaction and its rate depends only upon the nature of nucleus and does not depend upon external factors like temperature and pressure. The rate of radioactive disintegration (Activity) is represented as -(dN)/(dt)=lambdaN Where lambda= decay constant, N= number of nuclei at time t, N_(0) =intial no. of nuclei. The above equation after integration can be represented as lambda=(2.303)/(t)log((N_(0))/(N)) Calculate the half-life period of a radioactive element which remains only 1//16 of its original amount in 4740 years: a) 1185 years b) 2370 years c) 52.5 years d) none of these

Gibbs Helmholtz equation relates the enthalpy, entropy and free energy change of the process at constant pressure and temperature as DeltaG=DeltaH-TDeltaS " (at constant P, T)" In General the magnitude of DeltaH does not change much with the change in temperature but the terms TDeltaS changes appreciably. Hence in some process spontaneity is very much dependent on temperature and such processes are generally known as entropy driven process. When CaCO_(3) is heated to a high temperature it decomposes into CaO and CO_(2) , however it is quite stable at room temperature. It can be explained by the fact that

Read the following passage and answer the questions. Adsorption is surface phenomenon and its differ from absorption, Which occurs throughout the body of the substance which absorbs. In physisorption, the attractive forces are mainly van der waals forces while in chemisorption actual bonding occurs between the particles of absorbent and absorbate. Generally, easily liquifying gases are absorbed more easily on the surface of a solid as compared to the gases which are liquified with difficulty. Adsorption increases with the increase in pressure and decreases as the temperature is increased. Is the process of adsorption exothermic or endothermic ?
