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.

  • C
    $6 \times 10^{-5}$
  • D

One mole of the ideal gas goes through the process $p=p_0\left[1-\alpha\left(\frac{V}{V_0}\right)^3\right]$, where $p$ and $V$ are pressure and volume, $p_0, V_0$ and $\alpha$ are constants. If the maximum attainable temperature of the gas is $\left(\frac{3}{4}\right) \frac{p_0 V_0}{R}$, then the value of $\alpha$ is
