$A$ vessel contains $14 \, g$ ($7$ moles) of hydrogen and $96 \, g$ ($3$ moles) of oxygen at $STP$. $A$ chemical reaction is induced by passing an electric spark in the vessel until one of the gases is consumed. The temperature is brought back to its starting value of $273 \, K$. The pressure in the vessel is ...... $atm$.

$0.056 \, kg$ of Nitrogen is enclosed in a vessel at a temperature of $127 \, ^{\circ}C$. The amount of heat required to double the speed of its molecules is $k \, cal$. (Take $R = 2 \, cal \, mole^{-1} K^{-1}$)

One mole of a monoatomic ideal gas undergoes a quasistatic process, which is depicted by a straight line joining points $(V_{0}, T_{0})$ and $(2 V_{0}, 3 T_{0})$ in a $V-T$ diagram. What is the value of the heat capacity of the gas at the point $(V_{0}, T_{0})$?

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: The temperature of a gas is $-73^{\circ} C$. When the gas is heated to $527^{\circ} C$,the root mean square speed of the molecules is doubled.
Statement $II$: The product of pressure and volume of an ideal gas is equal to the translational kinetic energy of the molecules.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
