According to the kinetic theory of gases,which of the following statements is $WRONG$?

  • A
    The pressure exerted by a gas is due to the collisions between the molecules of the gas
  • B
    Collisions between the molecules of a gas and that of the molecules with the walls of the containers are perfectly elastic
  • C
    All molecules of a gas are identical
  • D
    The molecules do not exert appreciable force on one another except during collision

$A$ box contains $N$ molecules of a perfect gas at temperature ${T_1}$ and pressure ${P_1}$. The number of molecules in the box is doubled while keeping the total kinetic energy of the gas the same as before. If the new pressure is ${P_2}$ and temperature is ${T_2}$,then:

$CO_2$ $(O-C-O)$ is a triatomic gas. The mean kinetic energy of one gram of the gas will be (where $N$ is Avogadro's number,$k$ is Boltzmann's constant,and the molecular weight of $CO_2 = 44$).
