Question

The density of the vapour of a substance at 1 atm pressure and 500 K is 0.36 kg m3. The vapour effuses through a small hole at a rate 1.33 times faster than oxygen under the same condition. Determine compressibility factor? ( as an integer only)

Solution

r(v)r(O2)=M(O2)M(v)

1.33=32M(v)

M(v)=18.1gmol1

so integer value is 18.

Molar volume (¯¯¯¯V)=Molar massDensity of 1 mole

=18.1×1030.36

=50.26×103m3

Compression factor (Z)=P¯¯¯¯VRT=101325×50.25×1038.314×500

(P=101325Nm2=1atm)

=1.225

So, the nearest integer is 1.
