$A$ thermally insulated vessel contains an ideal gas of molecular mass $M$ and ratio of specific heats $\gamma$. It is moving with speed $v$ and is suddenly brought to rest. Assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings,its temperature increases by

  • A
    $\frac{(\gamma - 1)}{2(\gamma + 1)R}Mv^2$
  • B
    $\frac{(\gamma - 1)}{2\gamma R}Mv^2$
  • C
    $\frac{\gamma Mv^2}{2R}$
  • D
    $\frac{(\gamma - 1)}{2R}Mv^2$

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 $p V=T$)

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.

$A$ container holds $10^{26} \text{ molecules/m}^3$ each of mass $3 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg}$. Assume that $1/6$ of the molecules move with velocity $2000 \text{ m/s}$ directly towards one wall of the container while the remaining $5/6$ of the molecules move either away from the wall or in perpendicular direction,and all collisions of the molecules with the wall are elastic.

Three vessels of equal capacity have gases at the same temperature and pressure. The first vessel contains neon (monatomic),the second contains chlorine (diatomic),and the third contains uranium hexafluoride (polyatomic). Do the vessels contain equal number of respective molecules? Is the root mean square speed of molecules the same in the three cases? If not,in which case is $v_{rms}$ the largest?

Two identical glass bulbs are interconnected by a thin glass tube. $A$ gas is filled in these bulbs at $N.T.P.$ If one bulb is placed in ice and another bulb is placed in a hot bath,then the pressure of the gas becomes $1.5$ times. The temperature of the hot bath will be ....... $^oC$
