a) Law of corresponding states
b) Law of critical state
c) Law of reduced state
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Any compound should have the same reduced volume at the same reduced pressure and reduced temperature law of corresponding states.

8. The summation of each of the partial pressure of the component in a system equals to the total pressure. Is
a) Dalton`s law
b) Boyle`s law
c) Charles`s Law
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The summation of each of the partial pressure of the component in a system equals to the total pressure is Dalton`s law.

9. For the Van der Waals real gas equation
Statement I: The unit of constant a is atm.L2/mole2
Statement II: The unit of constant b is L
a) Both statements are false
b) Only one can be true at a time
c) Both statement are true
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: In the first statement, Specific molar volume is used and in second one, total volume. So for the given equation both statement can not be true at a time.
