An engineer is given a fixed volume $V_m$ of metal with which to construct a spherical pressure vessel. Assuming the vessel has thin walls and is pressurized to its bursting point,the amount of gas the vessel can contain,$n$ (in moles),depends only on $V_m$ $(m^3)$,the temperature $T$ $(K)$,the ideal gas constant $R$ $(J/(K \cdot mol))$,and the tensile strength of the metal $\sigma$ $(N/m^2)$. Which of the following gives $n$ in terms of these parameters?

  • A
    $n = \frac{2}{3} \frac{V_m \sigma}{RT}$
  • B
    $n = \frac{2}{3} \frac{\sqrt[3]{V_m \sigma}}{RT}$
  • C
    $n = \frac{2}{3} \frac{\sqrt[3]{V_m \sigma^2}}{RT}$
  • D
    $n = \frac{2}{3} \frac{\sqrt[3]{V_m^2 \sigma}}{RT}$

For one gram mole of a gas,the value of $R$ in the equation $PV = RT$ is nearly ...... $cal/K$

The change in the magnitude of the volume of an ideal gas when a small additional pressure $\Delta P$ is applied at a constant temperature is the same as the change when the temperature is reduced by a small quantity $\Delta T$ at constant pressure. The initial temperature and pressure of the gas were $300 \ K$ and $2 \ atm$ respectively. If $|\Delta T| = C|\Delta P|$,then the value of $C$ in $(K/atm)$ is......
