Question
Which statement about the properties of gas is not correct? Unlike a solid or a liquid, gases expand to occupy the entire volume of their container. Different gases are completely miscible with each other. When the pressure is changed, the volume of a gas changes much more than the volume of a solid or liquid. When the temperature is changed, the volume of gas changes much more than the volume of a solid or liquid. The density of a gas typically is much larger than the density of a solid or liquid. A barometer measures a pressure of 745 mm Hg. What is this pressure in atm? 1.00 times 10^4 atm 1.02 atm 1.03 times 10^5 atm 0.556 atm 0.980 atmExplanation / Answer
12) e The density of a gas is much larger than the density of a solid and liquid.
The statement is incorrect because its a known fact that the volume of gases is higher compared to liquids and solids. Density is inversely proportional to volume. Thus the density of gas should be lower than the density of a solid and liquid.
13) 1 atm = 760 mm Hg
Therefore the pressure 745 mm Hg in atm is 0.98 atm
