From the statements below regarding gas properties, select the statement that is false.
A) | The density of a gas typically is much larger than the density of a solid or liquid. |
B) | Unlike a solid or a liquid, gases expand to occupy the entire volume of their container. |
C) | Different gases are completely miscible with each other. |
D) | When the temperature is changed, the volume of gas changes much more than the volume of a solid or liquid. |
E) | When the pressure is changed, the volume of a gas changes much more than the volume of a solid or liquid. |
Ans. Correct option (false statement) is- A. The density of a gas is typically much larger than the density of a solid or liquid.
The density of gas is much smaller than that of solids and liquids.
# Option B. True statement. Solid and liquid has fixed volume, so they occupy certain volume of the container. For example, one tablespoon water of water would occupy one tablespoon volume in closed glass. However, one tablespoon, when placed in a closed glass, occupy the whole glass volume because gases tend to disperse in the available space uniformly.
Option. C. True statement. Gases are miscible in each other.
Option D and E – True statements. Gases exhibit much larger change in volume upon changing temperature and pressure. Solids and liquids usually don’t show change in volume upon change in pressure because they are can’t be compressed (generally). Change is temperature cause much lesser variation in volume of solid and liquids than the gases.
