An air bubble of volume $1.0\; cm ^{3}$ rises from the bottom of a lake $40\; m$ deep at a temperature of $12\,^{\circ} C$. To what volume (in $cm^3$) does it grow when it reaches the surface, which is at a temperature of $35\,^{\circ} C ?$
- A
$2.65$
- ✓
$5.26$
- C
$7.48$
- D
$9.67$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $5.26$
b
Volume of the air bubble, $V_{1}=1.0 cm ^{3}=1.0 \times 10^{-6} m ^{3}$
Bubble rises to height, $d=40 m$
Temperature at a depth of $40 m , T_{1}=12^{\circ} C =285 K$
Temperature at the surface of the lake, $T_{2}=35^{\circ} C =308 K$
The pressure on the surface of the lake:
$P_{2}=1 atm =1 \times 1.013 \times 10^{5} Pa$
The pressure at the depth of $40 m$
$P_{1}=1 atm +d\rho g$ Where $, \rho$ is the density of
water $=10^{3} kg / m ^{3} g$ is the acceleration due
to gravity $=9.8 m / s ^{2}$
$\therefore P_{1}=1.013 \times 10^{5}+40 \times 10^{3} \times 9.8=493300 Pa$
We have: $\frac{P_{1} V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2} V_{2}}{T_{2}}$
Where, $V_{2}$ is the volume of the air bubble when it reaches the surface $V_{2}=\frac{P_{1} V_{1} T_{2}}{T_{1} P_{2}}$
$=\frac{(493300)\left(1.0 \times 10^{-6}\right) 308}{285 \times 1.013 \times 10^{5}}$
$=5.263 \times 10^{-6}\; m ^{3}$ or $5.263 \;cm ^{3}$
Therefore, when the air bubble reaches the surface, its volume becomes $5.263 \;cm ^{3} .$

Let there are $n_1$ moles of hydrogen and $n_2$ moles of helium in the given mixture. As $Pv = nRT$
Then the pressure of the mixture
$P =\frac{ n _1 RT }{ V }+\frac{ n _2 RT }{ V }=\left( n _1+ n _2\right) \frac{ RT }{ V }$
$\Rightarrow 2 \times 101.3 \times 10^3=\left( n _1+ n _2\right) \times \frac{(8.3 \times 300)}{20 \times 10^{-3}}$
$\text { or, } \left( n _1+ n _2\right)=\frac{2 \times 101.3 \times 10^3 \times 20 \times 10^{-3}}{(8.3)(300)}$
$\text { or, } \quad n _1+ n _2=1.62$
The mass of the mixture is (in grams) $n _1 \times 2+ n _2 \times 4=5$
$\Rightarrow \quad\left(n_1+2 n_2\right)=2.5 \quad \ldots(2)$
Solving the eqns. (1) and (2), we get $n _1=0.74$ and $n _2=0.88$
Hence, $\frac{ m _{ H }}{ m _{ He }}=\frac{0.74 \times 2}{0.88 \times 4}=\frac{1.48}{3.52}=\frac{2}{5}$

We know that $\frac{ P _{1}}{ T _{1}}=$ constant for constant volume.
Let the initial pressure be $P_{1}$ and initial temperature be $T_{1}$.
Thus final pressure $P_{2}=1.004 P_{1}$ and final temperature $T_{2}=T_{1}+1$.
Using $\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}$
So, $\frac{ P _{1}}{ T _{1}}=\frac{1.004 P _{1}}{ T _{1}+1}$
Or $T _{1}+1=1.004 T _{1}$
Or $0.004 T _{1}=1$

The volume of a gas at $21°C$ temperature and $768 \,mm$ pressure is $1\, litre$. If the density of the gas is $1.2\, gm/litre$ at $NTP,$ then its mass will be ..... $gm$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $1.13$
c
We know that the gas follows Ideal gas law, which states $\frac{P}{\rho T}=$ constant or
$\frac{P_{1}}{\rho_{1} T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}}{\rho_{2} T_{2}}$
Given that Density at NTP is $\rho_{2}=1.2 \; g / L$
$T _{2}=20^{\circ} C =293.15 K$ and $P _{2}=76 \; cm$ of $Hg$
We have $T _{1}=21^{\circ} C =294.15 \; K$ and $P _{1}=71.8 \; cm$ of $Hg$
Thus $\rho_{1}=\rho_{2} \times \frac{ T _{2}}{ T _{1}} \times \frac{ P _{1}}{ P _{2}}=1.2 \times \frac{293.15}{294.15} \times \frac{71.8}{76}=1.13 \; g / L$
Thus mass of the gas $=\rho_{2} \times V_{2}=1.13 \; g / L \times 1 L =1.13 \; g$

${O_2}$ gas is filled in a vessel. If pressure is doubled, temperature becomes four times. How many times its density will become
Answerd
$PV = nRT$
$Density =( mass ) /( Volume )$
i.e. $\rho=( M / V )$
$\therefore P \times( M / \rho)= nRT$
$\therefore P =\{( nRT \rho) / M \}$
$( P / \rho T )=\text { constant }$
Given: pressure is doubled, Temper attire is $4$ times.
As $\left(P_{2} / P_{1}\right)=\left\{\left(\rho_{2} T_{2}\right) /\left(\rho_{1} T_{1}\right)\right\}$
$\therefore\left\{2 P _{1} / P _{1}\right\}=\left(\rho_{2} / \rho_{1}\right) \cdot\left\{4 T _{1} / T _{1}\right\}$
$\therefore\left(\rho_{1} / \rho_{1}\right)=(1 / 2)$

Given: $n \rightarrow$ number of molecules
$V \rightarrow$ volume of the gas
Van der waals equation $\Rightarrow\left(P+\frac{a n^{2}}{V^{2}}\right)(V-n b)=n R T$
Coefficient a represents the strength of intermolecular attractive forces. We know that molar volume $\left(V_{m}\right)$ is given by $\Rightarrow V_{m}=\frac{V}{n}$. It shows how the molecules experience the attractive force. The force toward the center experienced by a molecule at the edge should be proportional to $\left(\frac{1}{V_{m}}\right)$. Now, number of molecules at the edge of the container should be proportional to $\left(\frac{1}{V_{m}}\right)$. By combining proportionality constants into a single constant $(a)$
we get,
$\left(\frac{a}{V_{m}^{2}}\right)=\left(\frac{a n^{2}}{V^{2}}\right).$
Answer: Proportion in which press ure will decrease is $\left(\frac{n}{v}\right)^{2}$.
Option $(C)$ is the carrect answer.

AnswerCorrect option: C. $\frac{1}{T}$
c
According to ideal gas law,
$PV = RT \Rightarrow V =\left(\frac{ R }{ P }\right) T$
$V \propto T$ (at constant pressure).
Hence, $\frac{ V _{1}}{ V _{2}}=\frac{ T _{1}}{ T _{2}}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{ V _{2}}{ V _{1}}=\frac{ T _{2}}{ T _{1}}$
where, $V _{2}$ is the final volume.
$\frac{ V _{2}}{ V _{1}}-1=\frac{ T _{2}}{ T _{1}}-1$
$\Rightarrow \frac{ V _{2}- V _{1}}{ V _{1}}=\frac{ T _{2}- T _{1}}{ T _{1}} \quad\left[\because T _{2}- T _{1}=1 K \right]$
$\Rightarrow \frac{ V _{2}- V _{1}}{ V _{1}}=\frac{1}{ T _{1}}=\frac{1}{ T }$

A gas is filled in a cylinder, its temperature is increased by $20\%$ on Kelvin scale and volume is reduced by $10\%.$ How much percentage of the gas will leak out ........ $\%$
Answerd
$PV = nRT [ n \rightarrow$ Np.of moles $]$
$\log ( PV )=\log ( nRT )$
$\log P +\log V =\log n+\log R t$
Differentiate it
$\frac{\Delta P }{ P }+\frac{\Delta V }{ V }=\frac{\Delta n }{ n }+\frac{\Delta T }{ T }$
$\because$ It is filled in a rigid cylinder
$\Delta P =0$
$\frac{\Delta V }{ V } \times 100=-10$
$\frac{\Delta T }{ T } \times 100=20$
$\therefore-10=\frac{\Delta n }{ n } \times 100+20$
$\frac{\Delta n }{ n } \times 100=-30$
$\because n =\frac{ m }{ M }$
Where $m \rightarrow$ Mass of gas leaked
$M \rightarrow$ Molar mass
$\therefore \frac{\Delta m }{ m } \times 100=-30$

$40$ calories of heat is needed to raise the temperature of $1\, mole$ of an ideal monoatomic gas from $20°C$ to $30°C$ at a constant pressure. The amount of heat required to raise its temperature over the same interval at a constant volume $(R = 2\,calorie\,mol{e^{ - 1}}{K^{ - 1}})$ is ..... $calorie$
Answera
At constant pressure, the amount of heat required is
$Q = nC _{ p } \Delta T$
$40=1 \times C_{p} \times 10$
Thus, $C _{ p }=4$
Now, $\gamma=\frac{ C _{ p }}{ C _{ v }}$
$\gamma$ for monoatomic gas $=1.67$
Thus, $C _{v}=\frac{ C _{p}}{\gamma}=\frac{4}{1.67}=2.4$
For a constant volume process,
$Q = nC _{ v } \Delta T$
Thus,
$Q=1 \times 2.4 \times 10$
$Q =24 cal \approx 20 cal$

The temperature of $5$ moles of a gas which was held at constant volume was changed from ${100^o}C$ to ${120^o}C$. The change in internal energy was found to be $80$ Joules. The total heat capacity of the gas at constant volume will be equal to ...... $J/K$
Answerc
${(\Delta Q)_V} = \mu \,{C_V}\Delta T = {\rm{W}}\,\Delta T$ $(W =$ heat capacity$)$
$\Rightarrow$ $W = \frac{{{{(\Delta Q)}_V}}}{{\Delta T}} = \frac{{\Delta U}}{{\Delta T}}$ $[\because \,\,{(\Delta Q)_V} = \Delta V]$
$\Rightarrow$ $W = \frac{{80}}{{(120 - 100)}} = 4\,J/K$

The expansion of an ideal gas of mass $m$ at a constant pressure $P$ is given by the straight line $B$. Then the expansion of the same ideal gas of mass $2 \,\,m$ at a pressure $2P$ is given by the straight line

Answerc
since from ideal gas equation, $P V=n R T$
Hence, at constant pressure, $\frac{V}{T}=\frac{m}{M} \frac{R}{P}$
In the second case,
$\frac{V}{T}=\frac{2 m}{M} \frac{R}{2 P}=\frac{m}{M} \frac{R}{P}$
since the slope in two cases is same. Hence, new line will also be $B$. Curve does not pass through $0,0$ due to non idealities at low temperature and pressure.

The average degree of freedom per molecule of a gas is $6.$ The gas performs $25 \,J$ work, while expanding at constant pressure. The heat absorbed by the gas is ...... $J$
Answerb
For constant pressure process, Work done $(\mathrm{W})=\mathrm{nR} \Delta \mathrm{T}$
$\therefore \Delta \mathrm{T}=\left(\frac{25}{\mathrm{nR}}\right)$
Now, for above process $f=6$
So, $C_{P}\left(1+\frac{f}{2}\right) R=4 R$
Heat absorbed $=\mathrm{nC}_{\mathrm{P}} \Delta \mathrm{T}=\mathrm{n} \times 4 \mathrm{R} \times \frac{25}{\mathrm{nR}}=100 \mathrm{J}$

Answerb
(b)
Energy possessed by the ideal gas at $27^{\circ}\,C$ is
$E _1=3\left(\frac{3}{2} R \times 300\right)=\frac{2700 R }{2}$
Energy possessed by the ideal gas at $227^{\circ} C$ is

Since, energy remains conserved,
$E _{ m }= E _1+ E _2$

How, when other terms are constant, $(R \cdot M . S) \propto \sqrt{T}$.
$\frac{(R \cdot M \cdot S)_{1}}{(R \cdot M \cdot S)_{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{T_{1}}}{\sqrt{T_{2}}}$
Here, $(R \cdot M \cdot S)_{2}=2 \cdot(R \cdot M \cdot S)_{1}$

Answerd
$\rightarrow$ Given, $C=$ Molar Heat Capacity $=R$ $C_v$ for diatomic gas $=\frac{5}{2} R$
$P V^m=\text { constant }$
Molar Heat capacity is given by,

Answerc
Sperific heat capacily of the mixture, $\left(C_{V}\right)_{\text {mix }}$ is given by
$\left(C_{v}\right)_{\text {mix }} =\frac{n_{1} c_{v_{1}}+n_{2} C_{v_{2}}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}\left[\begin{array}{c} \text { In this question, } n_{1}=n_{2}=n \\ c_{v_{1}}=\frac{5 R}{2}, c_{v_{2}}=5 R / 2 \end{array}\right]$
$=\frac{n\left(\frac{5 R}{2}\right)+n \cdot\left(\frac{5 R}{2}\right)}{2 n}=\frac{5 R}{2}:$
$\left(C_{P}\right)_{\text {mix }} =\frac{5 R}{2}+R=\frac{5 R+2 R}{2}=\frac{7 R}{2}$

- B
$\alpha=2 \beta$
- C

- D
$3 \alpha=-\beta$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $2 \alpha=\beta$
a
(a)
Given: Moles of monoatomic gas $=\alpha$, moles of diatomic gas is $\beta$.
Solution:
The mixture is behaving as diatomic gas. If we neglect the vibrational mode of freedom then degree of freedom ( $\left.f_{\text {mix }}\right)$ of mixture is $3$ (for translational) $+2$ (for rotational $=5$.
We know that,
$f _{\text {mix }}=\frac{ f _1 n _1+ f _2 n _2}{ n _1+ n _2}$
$\Rightarrow 5=\frac{3 \alpha+6 \beta}{\alpha+\beta}$
$\Rightarrow 5 \alpha+5 \beta=3 \alpha+6 \beta$

AnswerCorrect option: A. ${T_c} = \frac{{8a}}{{27Rb}}$
a
A Vander Waals equation is given by$:$
$\left(P+\frac{a}{V^{2}}\right)(V-b)=R T$
Where, $a$ and $b$ are constant Solving above equation, $P=\frac{R T}{V-b}-\frac{a}{V^{2}}$
Taking derivative of $P$ $w.r.t$ volume
$\frac{\partial P}{\partial V}=0$
$\frac{\partial^{2} P}{\partial V^{2}}=0$
So, $P$ becomes$:$
$\frac{\partial P}{\partial V}=-\frac{R T}{(V-b)^{2}}+\frac{2 a}{V^{3}}=0$
$\frac{2 a}{V^{3}}=\frac{R T}{(V-b)^{2}}$$.....(1)$
$\frac{a}{V^{4}}=\frac{R T}{2 V(V-b)^{2}}$$.....(2)$
Taking double derivative again,
$\frac{\partial^{2} P}{\partial V^{2}}=\frac{2 R T}{(V-b)^{3}}-\frac{6 a}{V^{4}}=0$
or
$\frac{R T}{(V-b)^{3}}=\frac{3 a}{V^{4}}$
Put equation $( 2 )$ in above equation
$\frac{R T}{(V-b)^{3}}=\frac{3 R T}{2 V(V-b)^{2}}$
On rearranging,
$3 V-3 b=2 V$
$V_{c}=3 b$
$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}}$ is critical volume
Use this value in equation $(1)$
$\frac{R T}{4 b^{2}}=\frac{2 a}{27 b^{3}}$
$T_{c}=\frac{8 a}{27 R b}$
$\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{C}}$ is critical temperature.

A vessel contains $14 \,gm \,(7 $ moles) of hydrogen and $96\, gm$ ($9$ moles) of oxygen at $STP.$ Chemical reaction is induced by passing electric spark in the vessel till one of the gases is consumed. The temperature is brought back to it's starting value $273 K.$ The pressure in the vessel is ...... $atm$

Answera
given that,
mass of hydrogen $=14\; g$
Molar mass of $H_{2}=2\; g m mol ^{-1}$
No. of moles, $n_{H_{2}}=\frac{14}{2}=7 \;moles$
mass of oxygen $=96 \;gm$
Molar mass of $O _{2}=32 \;gmol ^{-1}$
No. of moles, $n_{0_{2}}=\frac{96}{32}=3 \;moles$
Total no. of moles in the vessel, $n=n_{H_{2}}+n_{O_2}$
$n=(7+3)=10 \text { moles }$
Let STP $P =1 atm =10^{5} Pa$
$T=273\; K$
We knows by ideal gas equation, $P V=n R T$
where $P=$ pressure of gas
$V=$ volume of gas
$n=$ amount of substance
$R=$ universal gas coustant
$T=$ absolute temperature
To find $V$, puts all values of $P, n, R, T$ :
$V=\frac{n R T}{P}=\frac{10 \times 8.3 \times 273}{10^{5}} \quad[R=8.3$
$V=0.23 m ^{2}$
chemical reaction is induced bypassing elictric spark in the vessel till one of the gas is consumed. When electric spark is passed. The reaction is
$2 H _{2}+ O _{2} \rightarrow 2 H _{2} O$
Each $1 gm$ of $H _{2}$ reacts with $8 gm ^{ m }$ of $O _{2}$
$\therefore 96 gm$ of oxygen $\rightarrow 12 g$ of $H _{2}$
After consumption:
orygen left $=0$
Hydrogen left $=14-12=2 gm$
No. of moles of $2\; gm$ of $H _{2} \Rightarrow n^{\prime}=\frac{2}{2}=1 \;mol$
$\therefore$ New ideal gas eq.: $P^{\prime} V=n^{\prime} R T$ $\dots (2)$
Dividing eq. $(1)$ and $(2)$:
$\frac{p^{\prime}}{p}=\frac{n^{\prime}}{n} \Rightarrow p^{\prime}=\frac{n^{\prime} p}{n}=\frac{1 \times 10^{5}}{10}=10^{4}$
$p^{\prime}=0.1 \; atm$
The presoure in the vessel is $0.1 \; atm$

An air bubble doubles its radius on raising from the bottom of water reservoir to be the surface of water in it. If the atmospheric pressure is equal to $10\, m$ of water, the height of water in the reservoir is ..... $m$

Answerc
(c) According to Boyle’s law ${({P_1}{V_1})_{{\rm{bottom}}}} = {({P_2}{V_2})_{{\rm{top}}}}$
$(10 + h) \times \frac{4}{3}\pi r_1^3 = 10 \times \frac{4}{3}\pi r_2^3$ but ${r_2} = 2{r_1}$
$\therefore$ $(10 + h)r_1^3 = 10 \times 8r_1^3$==> $10 + h = 80$ $\therefore h = 70m$

One gram mole of an ideal gas $A$ with the ratio of constant pressure and constant volume specific heats $\gamma_{A}=5 / 3$ is mixed with $n$ gram moles of another ideal gas $B$ with $\gamma_{B}=7 / 5$. If the $\gamma$ for the mixture is $19 / 13$, then what will be the value of $n$ ?
Answerb
$(b)$ By using formula,
$\gamma_{\text {mixture }}=\frac{\left(\frac{\mu_{1} C p_{1}+\mu_{2} C p_{2}}{\mu_{1}+\mu_{2}}\right)}{\left(\frac{\mu_{1} C v_{1}+\mu_{2} C v_{2}}{\mu_{1}+\mu_{2}}\right)}$
$\gamma_{\text {mixture }}=\frac{\mu_{1} C p_{1}+\mu_{2} C p_{2}}{\mu_{1} C v_{1}+\mu_{2} C v_{2}}$
$=\frac{\mu_{1}\left(\frac{\gamma_{1}}{\gamma_{1}-1}\right) R+\mu_{2}\left(\frac{\gamma_{2}}{\gamma_{2}-1}\right) R}{\mu_{1}\left(\frac{R}{\gamma_{1}-1}\right)+\mu_{2}\left(\frac{R}{\gamma_{2}-1}\right)}$
or $\gamma_{\text {mixture }}=\frac{\mu_{1} \gamma_{1}\left(\gamma_{2}-1\right)+\mu_{2} \gamma_{2}\left(\gamma_{1}-1\right)}{\mu_{1}\left(\gamma_{2}-1\right)+\mu_{2}\left(\gamma_{1}-1\right)}$
It is given, $\gamma_{\text {mixture }}=\frac{19}{13}$
$\gamma_{1}=\frac{5}{3}, \gamma_{2}=\frac{7}{5}$
$n_{1}=1, n_{2}=n$
Substituting values, we have
$\frac{19}{13}-\frac{\frac{5}{3}\left(\frac{7}{5}-1\right)+n \frac{7}{5}\left(\frac{5}{3}-1\right)}{\left(\frac{7}{5}-1\right)+n\left(\frac{5}{3}-1\right)}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{19}{13} =\frac{\frac{5}{3} \times \frac{2}{5}+n \frac{7}{5} \times \frac{2}{3}}{\frac{2}{5}+n \frac{2}{3}}$
$\Rightarrow 19\left(\frac{2}{5}+n \frac{2}{3}\right) =13\left(\frac{2}{3}+n \frac{14}{15}\right)$
$\Rightarrow \quad n =2$

Which one of the following schematic graphs best represents the variation of $p V$ (in Joules) versus $T$ (in Kelvin) of one mole of an ideal gas? (The dotted line represents $p V=T$ )
Answera
(a) From gas equation,
$p V=n R T$
Here, $n=1$ mole
So, $p V=R T \dots(i)$
Substituting the value of $R$ in Eq. $(i)$, we get
$p V=8.3 T$
Clearly, slope of $p V$ versus $T$ line is $8.3$, which is greater than one. Hence, following graph is correct.

Two containers $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ of volumes $V$ and $4 \,V$ respectively, hold the same ideal gas and are connected by a thin horizontal tube of negligible volume with a valve which is initially closed. The initial pressures of the gas in $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ are $p$ and $5 p$, respectively. Heat baths are employed to maintain the temperatures in the containers at $300 \,K$ and $400 \,K$, respectively. The valve is now opened. Select the correct statement.
AnswerCorrect option: D. A long time af ter the valve is opened, number of moles of gas in the hot container will be thrice that of the cold one.
d
$(d)$ Let $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ are number of moles of gas present in container $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ respectively, before the value is opened.
Then, using $p V=n R T$.
$\text { and }$
$n_{1} =\frac{p V}{R(300)}$
$n_{2} =\frac{5 p(4 V)}{R(400)}$
When value is opened gas flows from $C_{2}$ to $C_{1}$ till pressure in $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ is equal. Let after equalisation of pressure in both $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$, its value is $p_{0}$,
Then, using $p V=n R^{\prime} T$.
$p_{0} V=n_{1}^{\prime} R(300)\left(\right.$ Container $\left.C_{1}\right)$
and $p_{0} 4 V=n_{2}{ }^{\prime} R(400)$ (Container $C_{2}$ )
So, $\quad n_{1}^{\prime}=\frac{p_{0} V}{R(300)}$
and $\quad n_{2}^{\prime}=\frac{p_{0}(4 V)}{R(400)}$
As no gas is leaked from containers,
$n_{1}+n_{2}=n_{1}{ }^{\prime}: n_{2}{ }^{\prime}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{p V}{R(300)}+\frac{20 p V}{R(400)}$ = $\quad \frac{p_{0} V}{R(300)}+\frac{4 p_{0} V}{R(400)}$
So, $p\left(\frac{1}{300}+\right.\left.\frac{20}{400}\right)$ $=p_{0}\left(\frac{1}{300}+\frac{4}{400}\right)$
$\Rightarrow \quad 4 p=p_{0}$
$\text { Now, } \frac{n_{2}{ }^{\prime}}{n_{1}{ }^{\prime}}=\frac{\frac{4 p_{0} V}{R(400)}}{\frac{p_{0} V}{R(300)}}=3$
Finally number of moles of $C_{2}$ is thrice of $C_{1}$.

A hot air balloon with a payload rises in the air. Assume that the balloon is spherical in shape with diameter of $11.7 \,m$ and the mass of the balloon and the payload (without the hot air inside) is $210 \,kg$. Temperature and pressure of outside air are $27^{\circ} C$ and $1 atm =10^5 \,N / m ^2$, respectively. Molar mass of dry air is $30 \,g$. The temperature of the hot air inside is close to .......... $^{\circ} C$ [The gas constant, $R=8.31 \,JK ^{-1} mol ^{-1}$ ]
Answerc
(c)
Hot air balloon will rise in the atmosphere when upthrust of buoyant force is greater than weight of balloon and its payload.
Upthrust $=$ Weight of atmospheric air displaced by balloon
So, upthrust $\geq$ weight of balloon and its payload
$\Rightarrow$ (Volume of air displaced $\times$ density of atmospheric air $\times$ Acceleration due to gravity) $\geq$ (Volume of air of inside balloon $\times$ density of air inside balloon $x$ acceleration due to gravity) $+$ (Weight of payload of balloon)
$\Rightarrow V \cdot \rho_o \cdot g \geq V \cdot \rho_i \cdot g+210 \times g$
where $\rho_0=$ density of outside air and $\rho_i=$ density of inside air.
$\Rightarrow \quad V\left(\rho_o-\rho_i\right)=210$
$\Rightarrow \quad \rho_0-\rho_i=\frac{210 \times 3}{4 \pi r^3}\left(\because V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\right)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{P M}{R T_o}-\frac{P M}{R T_i}=\frac{210 \times 3}{4 \times \pi \times\left(\frac{11.7}{2}\right)^3} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{T_o}-\frac{1}{T_i}$
$=\frac{680\times 8 \times 8.31}{4\times \pi \times(1.7)^3 \times 10^5 \times 30 \times 10^{-3}}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{T_i-T_o}{T_o T_i}=\frac{1}{1387}$
$\Rightarrow T_o T_i=1387\left(T_i-T_o\right)$
$\Rightarrow 300 T_i=1387 T_i-300 \times 1387$ (as, $T_o=27^{\circ} C =300 K$ )
So, $T_i=\frac{300 \times 1387}{1087} \approx 383\, K$
$\therefore T_i=383-273=110^{\circ} C$
So, temperature of hot air is near to $105^{\circ} C$.

A thermally insulated rigid container of $1 \,L$ volume contains a diatomic ideal gas at room temperature. A small paddle installed inside the container is rotated from the outside, such that the pressure rises by $10^{5} \,Pa$. The change in internal energy is close to ............... $J$
Answerd
$(d)$ Change in internal energy of $n$ moles of an ideal gas, when temperature changes by $\Delta T$ is
$\Delta U=n \cdot \frac{f}{2} \cdot R \cdot \Delta T$
$=\frac{f}{2}(n R \Delta T)=\frac{f}{2}(\Delta p \cdot V)$
$\left[\therefore\right.$ for ideal gas $\left.p V=n R^{\prime} T\right]$
Here, $f=5$ (gas is diatomic)
$\Delta p=10^{5} \,Pa , V=1 \,L =10^{-3} \,m ^{3}$
So, $\Delta U=\frac{5}{2} \times 10^{5} \times 10^{-3}=250 \,J$

$(II)$ Mean free path of molecules is larger than the mean distance between molecules.
$(III)$ Mean free path of molecules increases with temperature.
$(IV)$ The rms speed of nitrogen is smaller than oxygen molecule.
Which of the above statements are correct?
- ✓
Only statement $II$ is correct
- B
Statements $II$ and $III$ are correct
- C
Statements $II$ and $IV$ are correct
- D
Statements $I, II$ and $IV$ are correct
AnswerCorrect option: A. Only statement $II$ is correct
a
$(a)$ Average speed is related to the rms speed as
$\bar{c}=\sqrt{\frac{8}{3 \pi}} \cdot c_{ rms }$
$\Rightarrow \bar{c} < c_{ rms }$
So, statement $1$ is incorrect.
Mean free path of molecules is larger than mean distance between molecules.
So, statement $II$ is correct.
Mean free path decreases with temperature as collision frequency increases with temperature. So, statement $III$ is incorrect.
As, $c_{ rms } \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}} \Rightarrow rms$ speed of nitrogen molecule is higher than that of oxygen molecule at same temperature. So, statement $IV$ is incorrect.

A gas obeying the equation of state $p V=R T$ undergoes a hypothetical reversible process described by the equation, $p V^{5 / 3} \exp \left(-\frac{p V}{E_{0}}\right)=C_{1}$, where $C_{1}$ and $E_{0}$ are dimensioned constants. Then, for this process, the thermal compressibility at high temperature
AnswerCorrect option: A. approaches a constant value
a
$(a)$ Process equation is
$p V^{\frac{5}{3}} \cdot\left(e^{\frac{-p V}{E_{0}}}\right)=C_{1}$
$\Rightarrow \quad p V^{\frac{5}{3}}=C_{1} e^{\frac{p V}{E_{0}}}$
Taking $\log$ to $e$ base, we have
$\log (p)+\frac{5}{3} \log (V)=\log \left(C_{1}\right)+\frac{p V}{E_{0}}$
Differentiating with respect to volume, we have
$\frac{1}{p} \cdot \frac{d p}{d V}+\frac{5 l}{3 V}=0+\frac{1}{E_{0}}\left(p+\frac{V d p}{d V}\right)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d p}{p}+\frac{5}{3} \frac{d V}{V}=\frac{1}{E_{0}}(p d V+V d p)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{-d V}{d p}=\frac{\left(\frac{1}{p}-\frac{V}{E_{0}}\right)}{\left(\frac{p}{E_{0}}-\frac{5}{3 V}\right)}$
$\text { As, } p V=R T$
$\Rightarrow \quad-\frac{d V}{d p}=\left(\frac{R T}{\frac{R}{E_{0}}-\frac{5 p}{E_{0}}}\right)$
$\Rightarrow \quad-\frac{1}{V} \frac{d V}{d p} =\frac{(R T}{p\left(\frac{1}{E_{0}}-\frac{5}{3 R T}\right)}$
But this is compressibility of gas, so compressibility,
$k=-\frac{1}{V} \frac{d V}{d p}$
$=\frac{\left(\frac{1}{RT}-\frac{1}{E_{0}}\right)}{p\left(\frac{1}{E_{0}}-\frac{5}{3 R T}\right)}$
As $T \rightarrow \infty, \frac{1}{R T} \rightarrow 0$
So, $k$ approaches a constant value at higher temperatures.

A container is divided into two equal parts $I$ and $II$ by a partition with a small hole of diameter $d$. The two partitions are filled with same ideal gas, but held at temperatures $T_{ I }=150 \,K$ and $T_{ II }=300 \,K$ by connecting to heat reservoirs. Let $\lambda_{1}$ and $\lambda_{1 I}$ be the mean free paths of the gas particles in the two parts, such that $d >> \lambda_{ I }$ and $d >> \lambda_{ II }$. Then, the $\lambda_{ I } / \lambda_{ II }$ is close to
- A
$0.25$
- B
$0.5$
- ✓
$0.7$
- D
$1.0$
Answerc
$(c)$ In steady state, rate of diffusion of gases must be same from both sides.
$\Rightarrow r_{1}=r_{2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{P_{ I }}{\sqrt{T_{ I }}}=\frac{P_{ II }}{\sqrt{T_{ II }}}$
Now, mean free path of a gas molecule is
or $\quad \lambda \propto \frac{T}{P}$
So, $\quad \frac{\lambda_{ I }}{\lambda_{ II }}=\frac{T_{ I } / P_{ I }}{T_{ II } / P_{ II }}$
$=\frac{T_{ I }}{T_{ II }} \times \frac{P_{ II }}{P_{ I }}=\frac{T_{ I }}{T_{ II }} \times \frac{\sqrt{T_{ II }}}{\sqrt{T_{ I }}}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{\lambda_{ I }}{\lambda_{\text {II }}}=\frac{\sqrt{T_{ I }}}{\sqrt{T_{ II }}}=\sqrt{\frac{150}{300}}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{\lambda_{ I }}{\lambda_{ II }}=0.7$

- A
$2 R$
- B
$\frac{5}{2} R$
- C
$\frac{3}{2} R$
- ✓
$R$
Answerd
94. (d) For an ideal gas in process, $p V^3=C$ (a constant)
Work done in the process is
$W =\int p d V$
$=\int \frac{C}{V^3} d V=\frac{C V^{-2}}{-2}$
$=\frac{p V^3 \cdot V^{-2}}{-2}=\frac{p V}{-2}$
$\Rightarrow \Delta W=-\frac{n R \Delta T}{2}$
Also, for ideal gas,
$\Delta U=n C_V \Delta T$
So, by first law of thermodynamics, we have
$\Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W$
$\Rightarrow \quad n C \Delta T=n C_V \Delta T-\frac{n R \Delta T}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \quad C=C_V-\frac{R}{2} \Rightarrow C=\frac{3}{2} R-\frac{R}{2}=R$
${\left[\therefore \text { for monoatomic ideal gas, } C_V=\frac{3}{2} R\right]}$

Initially let pressure is $p$, then
$p V=n_1 R T$
Finally pressure is $p$ and volume is $\frac{V}{3}$.
Let number of moles of gas left is $n_2$, then
$p \frac{V}{3}=n_2 R T$
Dividing both equations, we get
$\frac{n_2}{n_1}=\frac{1}{3} \text { or } 1-\frac{n_2}{n_1}=1-\frac{1}{3} \text { or } n_1-n_2=\frac{2}{3}$
Hence, $\frac{n_1-n_2}{n_1} \times 100=\frac{2}{3} \times 100=66 \%$ or percentage of number of molecules escaped $=66 \%$.

$\left(T+\frac{n^2 a b}{V^2 R}\right)(V-n b)^{C_V / R}=$ constant
AnswerCorrect option: A. $T(V-n b)^{R / C_V}=$ constant
a
(a)
Given a van der Waal's gas with state equation, $\left(p+\frac{n^2 a}{V^2}\right)(V-n b)=n R T$
For adiabatic process, $d W=0$
So, from first law of thermodynamics, we have
$d U=d Q+d W$
$\Rightarrow \quad d U-d W=0$
$\Rightarrow d U+p d V=0$
$\Rightarrow\left(\frac{\partial U}{\partial T}\right)_V d T+\left(\frac{\partial U}{\partial V}\right)_T$
$d V+\left(p+\frac{n^2 a}{V^2}\right) d V=0$
$\Rightarrow \quad C_V d T+\left(\frac{n k T}{V-n b}\right) d V=0$
$\Rightarrow \quad C_V \frac{d T}{T}+\left(\frac{n k}{V-n b}\right) d V=0$
Integrating above equation, we get
$\Rightarrow \quad C_V \int \frac{d T}{T}+n k \int \frac{d V}{V-n b}=\text { constant }$
$\Rightarrow \quad \log T^{C_V}+\log (V-n b)^{n k}=C$
$\Rightarrow \quad(V-n b)^R \cdot T^{C_V}=e^C$
$\Rightarrow \quad(V-n b)^{R / C_V \cdot T}=e^{C / C_V}=\text { constant }$
$\therefore \text { Equation for quasistatic adiabatic }$

Bulb $2$ is heated to maintain a temperature $2 T$, while bulb $1$ remains at temperature $T$. Assume throughout that the heat conduction by the capillary is negligible.

Let $n=$ number of moles of gas in both of the bulbs and capillary.
When bulbs are maintained at different temperatures, let number of moles are $n_1$ and $n_2$ in bulbs at temperatures $T$ and $2 T$, respectively.
As gas is ideal,
$n_1=\frac{p V}{R T} \text { and } n_2=\frac{p V}{R(2 T)} \Rightarrow \frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{2}{1}$
Also, $\quad n_1+n_2=n$
$\Rightarrow \quad n_1=\frac{2 n}{3} \text { and } n_2=\frac{n}{3}$
Now, ratio of final mass of gas in bulb $2$ to the initial mass of gas in same bulb is
$=\frac{\text { Mass of gas finally in bulb } 2}{\text { Mass of gas initially in bulb } 2}$
$=\frac{\text { Number of moles finally present in bulb } 2}{\text { Number of moles initially present in bulb } 2}$
$=\frac{n / 3}{n / 2}=\frac{2}{3}$

A container with rigid walls is covered with perfectly insulating material. The container is divided into two parts by a partition. One part contains a gas while the other is fully evacuated (vacuum). The partition is suddenly removed. The gas rushes to fill the entire volume and comes to equilibrium after a little time. If the gas is not ideal, then
- ✓
the initial internal energy of the gas equals its final internal energy
- B
the initial temperature of the gas equals its final temperature
- C
the initial pressure of the gas equals its final pressure
- D
the initial entropy of the gas equals its final entropy
AnswerCorrect option: A. the initial internal energy of the gas equals its final internal energy
a
(a)
Expansion is in vacuum, so work done by expanding gas is $\Delta W=0$.
Container is insulated, so heat exchanged with surroundings is $\Delta Q=0$.
Now, from first law of thermodynamics, we have
$\Rightarrow \Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W$
$\Rightarrow \Delta U=0$
$\Rightarrow U_i=U_f$
Hence, initial and final internal energies of gas are equal.
As, the gas is not ideal expansion results in reduction of pressure, so intermolecular potential energy increases. This results in reduction of kinetic energy, so temperature reduces.

Given situation is
Let final temperature after opening the valve is $T_f$, then $\Delta W_{\text {ext }}=0$ and $\Delta Q_{\text {ext }}=0$ So, from first law of thermodynamics,
$\Delta U=0$
$\Rightarrow n_1 C_V T+n_2 C_V T=\left(n_1+n_2\right) C_V T_f$
$\Rightarrow T_f=T$
Now, by gas equation, we have
$\text { As, } n_1+n_2=n$
$\Rightarrow \frac{V}{R T}+\frac{4 V \times 0.5}{R T} =\frac{5 V \times p_1}{R T}$
$\Rightarrow p =0.6 \,atm$

An ideal gas with heat capacity at constant volume $C_V$ undergoes a quasistatic process described by $p V^{\alpha}$ in a $p-V$ diagram, where $\alpha$ is a constant. The heat capacity of the gas during this process is given by
AnswerCorrect option: C. $C_V+\frac{n R}{1-\alpha}$
c
(c)
Process equation is
$p V^\alpha=\text { constant }(k) \Rightarrow p=\frac{k}{V^\alpha}$
Work done by the gas in given process is
$\Delta W=\int \limits_{V_i}^{V_f} p d V$
$=\int \limits_{V_i}^{V_f} k d V$
$\left.=\left[\frac{p V}{1-\alpha}\right]_{V_i}^{V_f}=\frac{p\left(V^{1-\alpha}\right.}{1-\alpha}\right]_{V_i}^{V_f}$
$=\frac{p \Delta V}{1-\alpha}=\frac{n R \Delta T}{1-\alpha}$
The change of internal energy of gas in this process will be
$\Delta U=C_V \Delta T$
And if $\Delta Q$ is heat supplied to the gas then,
$\Delta Q=C \Delta T$
Now, by first law of thermodynamics, we have
$\Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W$
$\Rightarrow \quad C \Delta T=C_V \Delta T+\frac{n R \Delta T}{1-\alpha}$
Heat capacity of the gas is
$\Rightarrow \quad C=C_V+\frac{n R}{1-\alpha}$

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) $?$
Answerc
$nC _{ P }(50)=160$
$nC _{ v }(100)=240$
$\Rightarrow \frac{ C _{ p }}{2 C _{ v }}=\frac{160}{240}=\frac{\gamma}{2}$
$\therefore \gamma=\frac{4}{3}$ and $f =\frac{2}{\gamma-1}=6$

An ideal gas in a closed container is slowly heated. As its temperature increases, which of the following statements are true$?$
$(A)$ the mean free path of the molecules decreases.
$(B)$ the mean collision time between the molecules decreases.
$(C)$ the mean free path remains unchanged.
$(D)$ the mean collision time remains unchanged.

$(C)$ and $(D)$
- B
$(A)$ and $(B)$
- C
$(A)$ and $(D)$
- ✓
$(B)$ and $(C)$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $(B)$ and $(C)$
d
The mean free path of molecules of an ideal gas is given as
$\lambda=\frac{ V }{\sqrt{2} \pi d ^{2} N }$
$V =$ Volume of container
where: $N =$ No of molecules
Hence with increasing temp since volume of container does not change (closed container), so mean free path is unchanged.
Average collision time
$=\frac{\text { mean free path }}{V_{ av }}=\frac{\lambda}{(\text { avg speed of molecules })}$
$\because$ avg speed $\alpha \sqrt{ T }$
$\therefore$ Avg coll. time $\alpha \frac{1}{\sqrt{ T }}$
Hence with increase in temperature the average collision time decreases.

The change in the magnitude of the volume of an ideal gas when a small additional pressure $\Delta P$ is applied at a constant temperature, is the same as the change when the temperature is reduced by a small quantity $\Delta T$ at constant pressure. The initial temperature and pressure of the gas were $300\, K$ and $2\; atm$ respectively. If $|\Delta T|=C|\Delta P|$ then value of $C$ in $(K / a t m)$ is......
Answera
$PV = nRT$
$P \Delta V + V \Delta P =0 \quad($ for constant temp. $)$
$P \Delta V = n R \Delta T \quad($ for constant pressure)
$\Delta T =\frac{ P \Delta V }{ nR }$
$\Delta P =-\frac{ P \Delta V }{ V } \quad(\Delta V$ is same in both cases $)$
$\frac{\Delta T }{\Delta P }=\frac{ P \Delta V }{ nR } \frac{ V }{- P \Delta V }=\frac{- V }{ nR }=-\frac{ T }{ P }$

Two moles of an ideal gas with $\frac{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{P}}}{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{V}}}=\frac{5}{3}$ are mixed with $3$ moles of another ideal gas with $\frac{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{P}}}{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{V}}}=\frac{4}{3} .$ The value of $\frac{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{P}}}{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{V}}}$ for the mixture is
- A
$1.50$
- ✓
$1.42$
- C
$1.45$
- D
$1.47$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $1.42$
b
For $1^{\text {st }}$ gas $\frac{C_{P_{1}}}{C_{V_{1}}}=\frac{5}{3} \Rightarrow C_{P_{1}}=5 x$ and $C_{V_{1}}=3 x$
For $2^{\text {nd }}$ gas $\frac{C_{P_{2}}}{C_{V_{2}}}=\frac{4}{3} \Rightarrow C_{P_{2}}=4 x$ and $C_{V_{2}}=3 x$
Now for mixture $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{P}}=\frac{\mathrm{n}_{1} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{P}}+\mathrm{n}_{2} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{B}_{2}}}{\mathrm{n}_{1}+\mathrm{n}_{2}}=\frac{17 \mathrm{R}}{5}$
$C_{V}=\frac{n_{1} C_{V_{1}}+n_{2} C_{V_{3}}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{12 R}{5}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}}=\frac{2(5 x)+3(4 x)}{2(3 x)+3(3 x)}=\frac{17}{12}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}} \approx 1.42$

Under an adiabatic process, the volume of an ideal gas gets doubled. Consequently the mean collision time between the gas molecule changes from $\tau_{1}$ to $\tau_{2} .$ If $\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}}=\gamma$ for this gas then a good estimate for $\frac{\tau_{2}}{\tau_{1}}$ is given by :
AnswerCorrect option: A. $\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{\gamma+1}{2}}$
a
${\lambda \propto V}$
The average time between the collisions of the gas molecules is nothing but the mean free path divided by the root mean square speed of the gas molecules.
$\mathrm{So}$
$\Longrightarrow\left[\text { Time }=t=\frac{\lambda}{v_{R M S}}\right]$
Now we also know that :-
$v_{R M S} \propto \sqrt{P V}$
Using the above we get :-
$\Longrightarrow t \propto V \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{P V}}$
$\Longrightarrow t \propto \sqrt{\frac{V^{2}}{P V}}$
$\Longrightarrow t \propto \sqrt{\frac{V}{P}}$
adiabatic process then $PV^{\gamma}=constant$
then $t \propto V^{\frac{\gamma+1}{2}}$

Two moles of helium are mixed with $n$ with moles of hydrogen. If $\frac{{{C_P}}}{{{C_V}}}\, = \,\frac{3}{2}$ for the mixture, then the value of $n$ is
Answerb
Using formula,
${\gamma _{mixture}} = {\left( {\frac{{{C_p}}}{{{C_V}}}} \right)_{mix}} = \frac{{\frac{{{n_1}{\gamma _1}}}{{{\gamma _1} - 1}} + \frac{{{n_2}{\gamma _2}}}{{{\gamma _2} - 1}}}}{{\frac{{{n_1}}}{{{\gamma _1} - 1}} + \frac{{{n_2}}}{{{\gamma _2} - 1}}}}$
Putting the value of ${n_1} = 2,{n_2} = n.$
${\left( {\frac{{{C_p}}}{{{C_v}}}} \right)_{mix }} = \frac{3}{2}$
${\gamma _1} = \frac{5}{3},{\gamma _2} = \frac{7}{5}$ and solving we get, $n=2$

- B
$0$
- C
$\frac{3}{2}nRT$
- D
$\frac{5}{2}nRT$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $\frac{1}{2}nRT$
a
Energyassociated with $N$ moles of diatomic
gas,
$\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{i}}=\mathrm{N} \frac{5}{2} \mathrm{RT}$
Energy associated with $n$ moles of monoatomic gas

Total energy when $n$ moles of diatomic gas converted into monoatomic
$\left(U_{f}\right)=2 n \frac{3}{2} R T+(N-n) \frac{5}{2} R T$
$=\frac{1}{2} n R T+\frac{5}{2} N R T$

$c_P - c_V = a$ for hydrogen gas
$c_P - c_V = b$ for nitrogen gas
The correct relation between $a$ and $b$ is
- A
$a = \frac{1}{{14}}b$
- B
$a=b$
- ✓
$a=14b$
- D
$a=28b$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $a=14b$
c
As we know, $C_P-C_v=E$ where $C_p$ and $C_v$ are molar specific heat capacities
or, ${C_P} - {C_v} = \frac{R}{M}$
For hydrogen $(M = 2){C_p} - {C_v} = a = \frac{R}{2}$
$For\,nitrogen\left( {M = 28} \right){C_p} - {C_v} = b = \frac{R}{{28}}$

Which of the following shows the correct relationship between the pressure $'P'$ and density $\rho $ of an ideal gas at constant temperature ?
Answerd
As we know for an ideal gas at constant
temperature, pressure $\mathrm{P}=\frac{\rho \mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{M}}$
$\mathrm{P} \propto \rho$
$\therefore \mathrm{R}, \mathrm{T} \& \mathrm{M}$ are constant, so pressure $(P)$varies linearlywith density $(\rho)$.

An ideal gas undergoes a quasi static, reversible process in which its molar heat capacity $C$ remains constant. If during this process the relation of pressure $P$ and volume $V$ is given by $PV^n =$ constant, then n is given by (Here $C_p$ and $C_v$ are molar specific heat at constant pressure and constant volume, respectively) :
- A
$n = \frac{{{C_p} - C}}{{C - {C_V}}}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$
- B
$\;n = \frac{{C - {C_V}}}{{C - {C_p}}}$
- C
$\;n = \frac{{{C_p}}}{{{C_V}}}$
- ✓
$\;n = \frac{{C - {C_p}}}{{C - {C_V}}}$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $\;n = \frac{{C - {C_p}}}{{C - {C_V}}}$
d
For a polytropic process
$C = {C_V} + \frac{R}{{1 - n}}$ $\therefore C - {C_V} = \frac{R}{{1 - n}}$
$\therefore 1 - n = \frac{R}{{C - {C_V}}}$ $\therefore 1 - \frac{R}{{C - {C_V}}} = n$
$\therefore n = \frac{{C - {C_V} - R}}{{C - {C_V}}} = \frac{{C - {C_V} - {C_P} + {C_V}}}{{C - {C_V}}}$
$ = \frac{{C - {C_P}}}{{C - {C_V}}}\left( {{C_P} - {C_{V = R}}} \right)$

Internal energy of a system is the energy possessed by the system due to molecular motion and molecular configuration.
Internal energy $u=u_{k}+u_{p}$
For an ideal gas there is no molecular attraction $u_{p}=0$
$\therefore$ Internal energy $\mathrm{u}=\mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{k}}$
$(i.e.,\, internal\, kinetic\, energy)$
and $u=u_{k}=\frac{3}{2} \mu R T$
At constant pressure $(\Delta \mathrm{Q})_{\mathrm{P}}=\mu \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}} \Delta \mathrm{T}$
At constant volume $(\Delta \mathrm{Q})_{\mathrm{v}}=\mu \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}} \Delta \mathrm{T}$
$\mathrm{AsC}_{\mathrm{P}}>\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{V}} \quad \therefore \quad(\Delta \mathrm{T})_{\mathrm{P}}<(\Delta \mathrm{T})_{\mathrm{V}}$

AnswerCorrect option: D. $12.42 \times {10^{-21}}\,J,\;684\,m/s$
d
$E \propto T$
$\therefore \frac{{{E_2}}}{{{E_1}}} = \frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}} = \frac{{600}}{{300}} = 2$
$\therefore \,\,{E_2} = 2{E_1}\,\,\,$
$\therefore \,\,\,{E_2} = 2 \times 6.21 \times {10^{ - 21}}\,\, = 12.42 \times {10^{ - 21}}\,J$

From the following statements, concerning ideal gas at any given temperature $T,$ select the correct one(s)
- A
The coefficient of volume expansion at constant pressure is same for all ideal gases
- B
The mean free path of molecules increases with the decrease in pressure
- C
In a gaseous mixture, the average translational kinetic energy of the molecules of each component is same
- ✓
Answerd
For $1$ mole of an ideal gas
$pV = RT \text {...(i) }$
at constant pressure:
$PdV = RdT \text {....(ii) }$
From Eqs. $(i)$ and $(ii)$, we get
$\frac{d V}{V}=\frac{d T}{T}$
The coefficient of volume expansion at constant pressure is given by $\frac{ dV }{ VdT }=\frac{1}{ T }$
same for all gases at same temperature.
The average translational kinetic energy per molecule is $(3 / 2) kT$ and not $3 kT$. With decrease in pressure, volume of the gas increase so its mean free path increases.
The average translational kinetic energy of the molecules is independent of their nature, so each component of the gaseous mixture will have the same value of average translational kinetic energy.

$70$ calories of heat are required to raise the temperature of $2$ moles of an ideal gas at constant pressure from $30°C$ to $35°C.$ The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of same gas through the same range $(30°C$ to $35°C)$ at constant volume ..... $cal$ $(R = 2 \,cal/mol/K)$
Answerb
${(\Delta Q)_P} = \mu {C_P}\Delta T$
$\Rightarrow$ $2 \times {C_P} \times (35 - 30)$
$\Rightarrow$ ${C_P} = 7\frac{{cal}}{{mole{\rm{ - }}K}}$
$\because$ ${C_P} - {C_V} = R$
$\Rightarrow$ ${C_V} = {C_P} - R = 7 - 2 = 5\frac{{cal}}{{mole{\rm{ - }}kevin}}$
