To raise the temperature of a certain mass of gas by $50^{\circ} C$ at a constant pressure, $160$ calories of heat is required. When the same mass of gas is cooled by $100^{\circ} C$ at constant volume, $240$ calories of heat is released. How many degrees of freedom does each molecule of this gas have (assume gas to be ideal) $?$
Five moles of helium are mixed with two moles of hydrogen to form a mixture. Take molar mass of helium $M_1=4\ g$ and that of hydrogen $M_2=2\ g$ The equivalent degree of freedom $f$ of the mixture is
An ideal gas $(\gamma = 1.5)$ is expanded adiabatically. How many times has the gas to be expanded to reduce the root mean square velocity of molecules $2.0$ times
Assertion $(A):$ The total translational kinetic energy of all the molecules of a given mass of an ideal gas is $1.5$ times the product of its pressure and volume.
Reason $(R):$ The molecules of gas collide with each other and the velocities of the molecules change due to the collision.
If ${V_H},\,\,{V_N}$ and ${V_O}$ denote the root-mean square velocities of molecules of hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen respectively at a given temperature, then
During an adiabatic process, the pressure of a gas is found to be proportional to the cube of its absolute temperature. The ratio of $\frac{C_p}{C_v}$ for the gas is:
A hydrogen cylinder is designed to withstand an internal pressure of $100 \,atm$. At $27^{\circ} C$, hydrogen is pumped into the cylinder which exerts a pressure of $20 \,atm$. At what temperature does the danger of explosion first sets in ......... $K$
