Which of the following statements about the kinetic theory of gases is wrong?

$(a)$ When a molecule (or an elastic ball) hits a massive wall,it rebounds with the same speed. When a ball hits a massive bat held firmly,the same thing happens. However,when the bat is moving towards the ball,the ball rebounds with a different speed. Does the ball move faster or slower?
$(b)$ When gas in a cylinder is compressed by pushing in a piston,its temperature rises. Guess at an explanation of this in terms of kinetic theory using $(a)$ above.
$(c)$ What happens when a compressed gas pushes a piston out and expands? What would you observe?
$(d)$ Sachin Tendulkar used a heavy cricket bat while playing. Did it help him in any way?

$A$ vessel contains $14 \, g$ ($7$ moles) of hydrogen and $96 \, g$ ($3$ moles) of oxygen at $STP$. $A$ chemical reaction is induced by passing an electric spark in the vessel until one of the gases is consumed. The temperature is brought back to its starting value of $273 \, K$. The pressure in the vessel is ...... $atm$.

$A$ box of $1 \ m^{3}$ is filled with nitrogen at $1.5 \ atm$ at $300 \ K$. The box has a hole of an area $0.010 \ mm^{2}$. How much time is required for the pressure to reduce by $0.10 \ atm$,if the pressure outside is $1 \ atm$?
