When an ideal diatomic gas is heated at constant pressure, the fraction of the heat energy supplied which increases the internal energy of the gas is
A
$$\frac{2}{5}$$
B
$$\frac{3}{5}$$
C
$$\frac{3}{7}$$
D
$$\frac{5}{7}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{5}{7}$$
$$\Delta Q = n{C_p}\Delta T$$ at constant pressure
$$\Delta U = n{C_v}\Delta T$$
Fraction $$ = \frac{{\Delta U}}{{\Delta Q}} = \frac{{{C_V}}}{{{C_P}}} = \frac{1}{\gamma } = \frac{5}{7}$$ for diatomic gas.

Consider a gas with density $$\rho $$ and $${\bar c}$$ as the root mean square velocity of its molecules contained in a volume. If the system moves as whole with velocity , then the pressure exerted by the gas is
A
$$\frac{1}{3}\rho {{\bar c}^2}$$
B
$$\frac{1}{3}\rho {\left( {c + v} \right)^2}$$
C
$$\frac{1}{3}\rho {\left( {\bar c - v} \right)^2}$$
D
$$\frac{1}{3}\rho {\left( {{c^{ - 2}} - v} \right)^2}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{1}{3}\rho {{\bar c}^2}$$
Pressure of the gas will not be affected by motion of the system, hence by
$${v_{rms}} = \sqrt {\frac{{3P}}{\rho }} \Rightarrow {{\bar c}^2} = \frac{{3P}}{\rho } = \frac{1}{3}p{{\bar c}^2}$$

$$4.0\,g$$ of a gas occupies $$22.4$$ litres at $$NTP.$$ The specific heat capacity of the gas at constant volume is $$5.0\,J{K^{ - 1}}.$$ If the speed of sound in this gas at $$NTP$$ is $$952\,m{s^{ - 1}},$$ then the heat capacity at constant pressure is (Take gas constant $$R = 8.3\,J{K^{ - 1}}mo{l^{ - 1}}$$ )
24.
At room temperature a diatomic gas is found to have an $$r.m.s.$$ speed of $$1930\,m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ The gas is:
A
$${H_2}$$
B
$${Cl_2}$$
C
$${O_2}$$
D
$${F_2}$$
Answer :
$${H_2}$$
$$\eqalign{
& \because C = \sqrt {\frac{{3RT}}{M}} \cr
& {\left( {1930} \right)^2} = \frac{{3 \times 8.314 \times 300}}{M} \cr
& M = \frac{{3 \times 8.314 \times 300}}{{1930 \times 1930}} \approx 2 \times {10^{ - 3}}kg \cr} $$
The gas is $${H_2}.$$
25.
The equation of state of a gas is given by $$\left( {P + \frac{{a{T^2}}}{V}} \right){V^c} = \left( {RT + b} \right),$$ where $$a,b,c$$ and $$R$$ are constants. The isotherms can be represented by $$P = A{V^m} - B{V^m},$$ where $$A$$ and $$B$$ depend only on temperature and

Maxwell’s velocity distribution curve is given for two different temperature. For the given curves.
A
$${T_1} > {T_2}$$
B
$${T_1} < {T_2}$$
C
$${T_1} \leqslant {T_2}$$
D
$${T_1} = {T_2}$$
Answer :
$${T_1} < {T_2}$$
Higher is the temperature greater is the most probable velocity.

At $${10^ \circ }C$$ the value of the density of a fixed mass the body of an ideal gas divided by its pressure is $$x.$$ At $${110^ \circ }C$$ this ratio is:
A
$$x$$
B
$$\frac{{383}}{{283}}x$$
C
$$\frac{{10}}{{110}}x$$
D
$$\frac{{283}}{{383}}x$$
Answer :
$$\frac{{283}}{{383}}x$$
Let the mass of the gas be $$m.$$
At a fixed temperature and pressure, volume is fixed.
Density of the gas, $$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Now}}\,\,\frac{\rho }{P} = \frac{m}{{PV}} = \frac{m}{{nRT}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{m}{{nRT}} = x\,\,\left( {{\text{By}}\,{\text{question}}} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow xT = {\text{constant}} \Rightarrow {x_1}{T_1} = {x_2}{T_2} \cr} $$
\[ \Rightarrow {x_2} \Rightarrow \frac{{{x_l}{T_1}}}{{\;{T_2}}} = \frac{{283}}{{383}}x\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}
\therefore \\
{{T_1} = 283\,K}\\
{\;{T_2} = 383\,K}
\end{array}} \right]\]

The specific heat of a gas
A
has only two values $${c_p}$$ and $${c_v}$$
B
has a unique value at a given temperature
C
can have any value between $$0$$ and $$\infty $$
D
depends upon the mass of the gas
Answer :
can have any value between $$0$$ and $$\infty $$

If the molecules in a tank of hydrogen have the same $$RMS$$ speed as the molecules in another tank of oxygen, we may be sure that
A
the pressures are the same
B
the hydrogen is at the higher temperature
C
the temperatures are the same
D
the oxygen is at the higher temperature
Answer :
the oxygen is at the higher temperature
$${v_{rms}} = \sqrt {\frac{{3RT}}{M}} $$
Same $${v_{rms}},$$ implies $$\frac{T}{M}$$ same.
Hence, $$T \propto M$$
$$M$$ for oxygen is more than that of hydrogen, therefore, oxygen is at higher temperature than hydrogen.

A nitrogen molecule has some $$rms$$ speed at $${0^ \circ }C$$ on the surface of the earth. With this speed, it goes straight up. If there is no collisions with other molecules, the molecule will rise up to a height of
A
$$8.2\,km$$
B
$$12.4\,km$$
C
$$10.6\,km$$
D
$$15.2\,km$$
Answer :
$$12.4\,km$$
$${v_{rms}} = \sqrt {\frac{{3RT}}{M}} = \sqrt {\frac{{3 \times 8.31 \times 273}}{{28 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}} = 493\,m/s$$
Thus $$\frac{1}{2}mv_{rms}^2 = \frac{{mgh}}{{1 + \frac{h}{R}}}.$$ After substituting the values and simplifying, we get $$h = 12.4\,km$$
