13.3 Figure 13.8 shows plot of PV/T versus P for 1.00×10–3 kg of oxygen gas at two different temperatures.

(a) What does the dotted plot signify?
(b) Which is true: T1 >
T2 or T1
< T2?
(c) What is the value of PV/T where the curves meet on the y-axis?
(d) If we obtained similar plots for 1.00×10–3 kg of hydrogen, would we get the same value of PV/T at the point where the curves meet on the y-axis? If not, what mass of hydrogen
Yields the same value of PV/T (for low pressure high temperature region of the plot) ? (Molecular mass of H2 = 2.02 u, of O2 = 32.0 u, R = 8.31 J mo1–1 K–1.)

13.3 (a) The dotted plot in the graph signifies the ideal behaviour of the gas, i.e. = R, (where is the number of moles and R is the universal gas constant) is a constant quantity. It is not dependent on the pressure of the gas. The curve of the gas at temperature is closer to the dotted plot than the curve of the gas at temperature
(b) A real gas approaches the behaviour of an ideal gas when its temperature increases. Therefore > is true for the given plot.
(c) The value of the ratio , where the two curves meet, is R. This is because the ideal gas e
