4. none of the above

 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 :

2. 250 mm

3. 350 mm                      

4. 450 mm

The curve that can not represent Boyle's law is -

The deviation of a gas from ideal behavior is expected to be minimum at -                                    

1. 350 K and 3 atm                   

2. 550 K and 1 atm

3. 250 K and 4 atm                   

4. 450 K and 2 atm

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.
