    In which one of the following, does the given amount of chlorine exert the least pressure in a vessel of capacity \[\text{1 d}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}\]at 273 K?

    A)  0.0355 g 

    B) 0.071 g

    C) \[\text{6}.0\text{23 }\times \text{1}{{0}^{\text{21}}}\]molecules

    D) 0.02 mol

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Ideal gas equation is \[pV=nRT\] When V and T are same, \[p\propto n\] Thus, when number of moles, i.e., n is least, it will exert least pressure. \[\text{n =}\frac{\text{wt}}{\text{mol}\text{.wt}}\text{=}\frac{\text{0}\text{.0355}}{\text{35}\text{.5}}\text{=1 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-3}}}\text{mol}\] \[\text{n =}\frac{\text{0}\text{.071}}{\text{35}\text{.5}}\text{=2 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-3}}}\text{mol}\] \[\text{n =}\frac{\text{number or molecules}}{{{\text{N}}_{\text{A}}}}\]  \[\text{=}\frac{\text{6}\text{.023 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{21}}}}{\text{6}\text{.023 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{23}}}}\text{=0}\text{.01 mol}\] \[\text{n = 0}\text{.02 mol}\] Thus, 0.0355 g chlorine will exert the least pressure.
