One mole of an ideal diatomic gas is taken through the cycle as shown in the figure.
$1 \rightarrow 2$: isochoric process
$2 \rightarrow 3$: straight line on $P-V$ diagram
$3 \rightarrow 1$: isobaric process
The average molecular speed of the gas in the states $1, 2$ and $3$ are in the ratio

  • A
    $1 : 2 : 2$

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

Three vessels of equal capacity have gases at the same temperature and pressure. The first vessel contains neon (monatomic),the second contains chlorine (diatomic),and the third contains uranium hexafluoride (polyatomic). Do the vessels contain equal number of respective molecules? Is the root mean square speed of molecules the same in the three cases? If not,in which case is $v_{rms}$ the largest?
