An ideal gas has $N$ molecules in a closed box at temperature $T_1$ and pressure $P_1$. If the number of molecules in the box is doubled and the total kinetic energy is kept the same,what will be the new pressure $P_2$ and temperature $T_2$?

  • A
    $P_2 = P_1, T_2 = T_1$
  • B
    $P_2 = P_1, T_2 = T_1/2$
  • C
    $P_2 = 2P_1, T_2 = T_1$
  • D
    $P_2 = 2P_1, T_2 = T_1/2$

An ideal gas is in thermodynamic equilibrium. The number of degrees of freedom of a molecule of the gas is $n$. The internal energy of one mole of the gas is $U_n$ and the speed of sound in the gas is $v_n$. At a fixed temperature and pressure,which of the following is the correct option?

$A$ vessel contains $14\,g$ of nitrogen gas at a temperature of $27^{\circ}\,C$. The amount of heat to be transferred to the gas to double the r.m.s. speed of its molecules will be $......J$ (Take $R = 8.32\,J\,mol^{-1}K^{-1}$)

In the kinetic theory of gases,which of these statements is/are true?
$(i)$ The pressure of a gas is proportional to the mean speed of the molecules.
$(ii)$ The root mean square speed of the molecules is proportional to the pressure.

The density of water is $1000 \; kg \; m^{-3}$. The density of water vapour at $100 \; ^{\circ}C$ and $1 \; atm$ pressure is $0.6 \; kg \; m^{-3}$. The volume of a molecule multiplied by the total number gives what is called molecular volume. Estimate the ratio (or fraction) of the molecular volume to the total volume occupied by the water vapour under the above conditions of temperature and pressure.

An ideal gas is placed in a tank at $27^{\circ} C$. The pressure is initially $600 \ kPa$. One fourth of the gas is then released from the tank and thermal equilibrium is established. What will be the pressure if the temperature is $327^{\circ} C$ (in $kPa$)?
