Initially,a gas of diatomic molecules is contained in a cylinder of volume $V_{1}$ at a pressure $P_{1}$ and temperature $250\, K$. Assuming that $25\%$ of the molecules get dissociated,causing a change in the number of moles. The pressure of the resulting gas at temperature $2000\, K$,when contained in a volume $2V_{1}$,is given by $P_{2}$. The ratio $\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}}$ is:

According to the kinetic theory of gases,which one of the following statements is wrong?

$A$ jar contains a gas and a few drops of water at $T \, K.$ The pressure in the jar is $830 \, mm$ of mercury. The temperature of the jar is reduced by $1\%.$ The saturated vapour pressure of water at the two temperatures are $30 \, mm$ and $25 \, mm$ of mercury. Then the new pressure in the jar will be ..... $mm$ of $Hg$.

$A$ rigid diatomic gas having molar mass $M$ is contained in an insulated container. The container is moving with velocity $V$. If it is stopped suddenly, the change in temperature is ($R$ - gas constant).

$A$ monoatomic gas of mass $4.0 \, g$ is kept in an insulated container. The container is moving with a velocity of $30 \, m/s$. If the container is suddenly stopped,then the change in temperature of the gas (where $R$ is the gas constant) is given by $\frac{x}{3R}$. The value of $x$ is ..........
