At a temperature of $314 \,K$ and a pressure of $100 \,kPa$, the speed of sound in a gas is $1380 \,ms^{-1}$. The radius of each gas molecule is $0.5 \,Å$. The frequency of sound at which the wavelength of the sound wave in the gas becomes equal to the mean free path of the gas molecules is (Boltzmann constant $k = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \,JK^{-1}$):

  • A
    $1000 \,MHz$
  • B
    $1000 \sqrt{2} \,MHz$
  • C
    $\frac{1000}{\sqrt{2}} \,MHz$
  • D
    $500 \,MHz$

The mean free path of a molecule of diameter $5\times10^{-10} \ m$ at the temperature $41^{\circ}C$ and pressure $1.38\times10^{5} \ Pa$ is given as . . . . . . $m$. (Given $k_{B}=1.38\times10^{-23} \ J/K$).

If the mean free path is doubled,the pressure becomes:

$A$ fixed amount of nitrogen gas ($1$ mole) is taken and subjected to pressure and temperature variations. The experiment is performed at high pressures and various temperatures. The results obtained are shown in the figure. The correct variation of $PV/RT$ with $P$ for nitrogen gas at high temperatures will be exhibited by:

If $n$ is the number density and $d$ is the diameter of the molecule,then the average distance covered by a molecule between two successive collisions (i.e. mean free path) is represented by :

Estimate the mean free path and collision frequency of a nitrogen molecule in a cylinder containing nitrogen at $2.0 \; atm$ and temperature $17\,^{\circ} C$. Take the radius of a nitrogen molecule to be roughly $1.0 \; \mathring{A}$. Compare the collision time with the time the molecule moves freely between two successive collisions (Molecular mass of $N_{2} = 28.0 \; u$).
