On a winter day, the outside temperature is 0°C and relative humidity 40%. The air from outside comes into a room and is heated to 20°C. What is the relative humidity in the room? The saturation vapour pressure at 0°C is 4.6 mm of mercury and at 20°C it is 18 mm of mercury.
उत्तर
Given :
SVP at `0^circC` = 4.6 mm Hg
RH = 40%
⇒`("VP of air" ("P"_1))/"SVP at the same temperature" = 0.4`
⇒ `"P"_1/4.6` = 0.4
⇒ `"P"_1 = 1.84 "mmHg"`
Here , V is constant .
`"T"_1` = 273K
`"T"_2` = 293K
Applying equation of state, we get
`(P_1V)/(T_1) = (P_2V)/(T_2)`
⇒ `P_2 = (P_1T_2)/T_1`
⇒ `P_2 = (1.84 xx 293)/273`
⇒ `P_2` = 1.97
RH inside home = `("VP of air" (P_2))/("SVP at the same temperature") xx 100%`
SVP at the same temperature = 18 mmHg
⇒ RH = `1.97/18 xx 100 = 10.9%`

From a certain apparatus, the diffusion rate of hydrogen has an average value of 28.7 cm3 s–1. The diffusion of another gas under the same conditions is measured to have an average rate of 7.2 cm3 s–1. Identify the gas
[Hint: Use Graham’s law of diffusion: R1/R2 = (M2/M1)1/2, where R1, R2 are diffusion rates of gases 1 and 2, and M1 and M2 their respective molecular masses. The law is a simple consequence of kinetic theory.]

A barometer correctly reads the atmospheric pressure as 76 cm of mercury. Water droplets are slowly introduced into the barometer tube by a dropper.
