At the top of a mountain,a thermometer reads $7^{\circ}C$ and a barometer reads $70 \ cm-Hg$. At the base of the mountain,the thermometer reads $27^{\circ}C$ and the barometer reads $76 \ cm-Hg$. The ratio of the density of air at the top of the mountain to the density of air at the base is:

  • A
    $1.689$
  • B
    $0.598$
  • C
    $0.789$
  • D
    $0.986$

$A$ thermally isolated cylindrical closed vessel of height $8 \ m$ is kept vertically. It is divided into two equal parts by a diathermic (perfect thermal conductor) frictionless partition of mass $8.3 \ kg$. Thus,the partition is held initially at a distance of $4 \ m$ from the top. Each of the two parts of the vessel contains $0.1 \ mol$ of an ideal gas at temperature $300 \ K$. The partition is now released and moves without any gas leaking from one part of the vessel to the other. When equilibrium is reached,the distance of the partition from the top (in $m$) will be. . . . . . (take the acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$ and the universal gas constant $R = 8.3 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$).

The difference between volume and pressure coefficients of an ideal gas is

Two boxes containing different ideal gases are placed on a table. Box $A$ contains $1 \text{ mole}$ of nitrogen gas at temperature $T_o$,and box $B$ contains $1 \text{ mole}$ of helium gas at temperature $(7/3) T_o$. If they are brought into thermal contact such that both gases reach a final common temperature $T_f$,what is the final temperature $T_f$ in terms of $T_o$? (Neglect the heat capacity of the boxes.)
