$A$ cylindrical tube of uniform cross-sectional area $A$ is fitted with two airtight frictionless pistons. The pistons are connected to each other by a metallic wire. Initially, the pressure of the gas is $P_0$ and the temperature is $T_0$; the atmospheric pressure is also $P_0$. Now, the temperature of the gas is increased to $2T_0$. The tension in the wire will be:

Two gases of equal mass are in thermal equilibrium. If $P_a, P_b$ and $V_a, V_b$ are their respective pressures and volumes,then which relation is true?

The oxygen molecule has a mass of $5.30 \times 10^{-26} \; kg$ and a moment of inertia of $1.94 \times 10^{-46} \; kg \cdot m^{2}$ about an axis through its centre perpendicular to the line joining the two atoms. Suppose the mean speed of such a molecule in a gas is $500 \; m/s$ and that its kinetic energy of rotation is two-thirds of its kinetic energy of translation. Find the average angular velocity of the molecule.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$. Statement $I$: Change in internal energy of a system containing $n$ mole of ideal gas can be written as $\Delta U = nC_v(T_f - T_i) = \frac{nR}{\gamma - 1}(T_f - T_i)$, where $\gamma = C_p/C_v, T_i = $ initial temperature, $T_f = $ final temperature. Statement $II$: Relation between degree of freedom $f$ and $\gamma(= C_p/C_v)$ is $\gamma = 1 + \frac{2}{f}$. Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

As shown schematically in the figure,two vessels contain water solutions (at temperature $T$) of potassium permanganate $(KMnO_4)$ of different concentrations $n_1$ and $n_2$ $(n_1 > n_2)$ molecules per unit volume with $\Delta n = (n_1 - n_2) \ll n_1$. When they are connected by a tube of small length $\ell$ and cross-sectional area $S$,$KMnO_4$ starts to diffuse from the left to the right vessel through the tube. Consider the collection of molecules to behave as dilute ideal gases and the difference in their partial pressure in the two vessels causing the diffusion. The speed $v$ of the molecules is limited by the viscous force $-\beta v$ on each molecule,where $\beta$ is a constant. Neglecting all terms of the order $(\Delta n)^2$,which of the following is/are correct? ($k_B$ is the Boltzmann constant)
$(A)$ the force causing the molecules to move across the tube is $\Delta n k_B T S$
$(B)$ force balance implies $n_1 \beta v \ell = \Delta n k_B T$
$(C)$ total number of molecules going across the tube per sec is $\left(\frac{\Delta n}{\ell}\right)\left(\frac{k_B T}{\beta}\right) S$
$(D)$ rate of molecules getting transferred through the tube does not change with time
