An ideal gas of molar mass $M$ is contained in a vertical tube of height $H$,closed at both ends. The tube is accelerating vertically upwards with acceleration $g$. Then,the ratio of pressure at the bottom $(P_B)$ and the midpoint $(P_m)$ of the tube will be:

$A$ thermally isolated cylindrical closed vessel of height $8 \ m$ is kept vertically. It is divided into two equal parts by a diathermic (perfect thermal conductor) frictionless partition of mass $8.3 \ kg$. Thus,the partition is held initially at a distance of $4 \ m$ from the top. Each of the two parts of the vessel contains $0.1 \ mol$ of an ideal gas at temperature $300 \ K$. The partition is now released and moves without any gas leaking from one part of the vessel to the other. When equilibrium is reached,the distance of the partition from the top (in $m$) will be. . . . . . (take the acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$ and the universal gas constant $R = 8.3 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$).

The number of air molecules per $cm^3$ increased from $3 \times 10^{19}$ to $12 \times 10^{19}$. The ratio of collision frequency of air molecules before and after the increase in number respectively is $.........$

The figure shows a plot of $PV/T$ versus $P$ for $1.00 \times 10^{-3} \; kg$ of oxygen gas at two different temperatures.
$(a)$ What does the dotted plot signify?
$(b)$ Which is true: $T_{1} > T_{2}$ or $T_{1} < T_{2}$?
$(c)$ What is the value of $PV/T$ where the curves meet on the $y$-axis?
$(d)$ If we obtained similar plots for $1.00 \times 10^{-3} \; kg$ of hydrogen,would we get the same value of $PV/T$ at the point where the curves meet on the $y$-axis? If not,what mass of hydrogen yields the same value of $PV/T$ (for the low-pressure,high-temperature region of the plot)?
