Kinetic Theory - Result Question 6

6. The equation of state for $5 g$ of oxygen at a pressure $P$ and temperature $T$, when occupying a volume $V$, will be

[2004]

(a) $PV=(5 / 16) RT$

(b) $PV=(5 / 32) RT$

(c) $PV=5 RT$

(d) $PV=(5 / 2) RT$

(where $R$ is the gas constant).

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 6. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b)

(b) $n=\frac{5}{32} \quad \therefore PV=\frac{5}{32} RT[\because PV=nRT]$
