Nitrogen gas is filled in an insulated container. If $\alpha$ fraction of moles dissociates without exchange of any energy,then the fractional change in its temperature is ..............

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.

The left and right compartments of a thermally isolated container of length $L$ are separated by a thermally conducting,movable piston of area $A$. The left and right compartments are filled with $\frac{3}{2}$ and $1$ moles of an ideal gas,respectively. In the left compartment,the piston is attached by a spring with spring constant $k$ and natural length $\frac{2L}{5}$. In thermodynamic equilibrium,the piston is at a distance $\frac{L}{2}$ from the left and right edges of the container as shown in the figure. Under the above conditions,if the pressure in the right compartment is $P = \frac{kL}{A} \alpha$,then the value of $\alpha$ is:

Fill in the blanks:
$(i)$ At absolute zero,the volume of an ideal gas is ...... .
$(ii)$ With an increase in temperature,the pressure of a gas ...... .
$(iii)$ All molecular motion will stop at ...... .
$(iv)$ Due to ...... at higher altitudes from the surface of the Earth,the air becomes cooler.

$A$ 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).

One mole of an ideal gas undergoes a linear process as shown in the figure below. Its temperature expressed as a function of volume $V$ is
