$N$ moles of a diatomic gas in a cylinder are at a temperature $T$. Heat is supplied to the cylinder such that the temperature remains constant but $n$ moles of the diatomic gas get converted into monoatomic gas. What is the change in the total kinetic energy of the gas?

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}nRT$
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2}nRT$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{2}nRT$

$A$ molecule in a gas container hits a horizontal wall with speed $200 \; m s^{-1}$ at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the normal,and rebounds with the same speed. Is momentum conserved in the collision? Is the collision elastic or inelastic?

This question has Statement-$1$ and Statement-$2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement-$1$: The internal energy of a perfect gas is entirely kinetic and depends only on the absolute temperature of the gas and not on its pressure or volume.
Statement-$2$: $A$ perfect gas is heated keeping pressure constant and later at constant volume. For the same amount of heat,the temperature rise of the gas at constant pressure is lower than that at constant volume.
