$A$ box contains $N$ molecules of a perfect gas at temperature ${T_1}$ and pressure ${P_1}$. The number of molecules in the box is doubled while keeping the total kinetic energy of the gas the same as before. If the new pressure is ${P_2}$ and temperature is ${T_2}$,then:

An oxygen cylinder of volume $30 \ L$ has $18.20 \ \text{moles}$ of oxygen. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, its gauge pressure drops to $11 \ \text{atm}$ at a temperature of $27^{\circ} \text{C}$. The mass of the oxygen withdrawn from the cylinder is nearly equal to (Given: $R = \frac{100}{12} \ \text{J mol}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}$, molecular mass of $O_2 = 32 \ \text{g/mol}$, $1 \ \text{atm} = 1.01 \times 10^5 \ \text{Pa}$) (in $\text{kg}$)

$A$ jar contains a gas and a few drops of water at $T \, K.$ The pressure in the jar is $830 \, mm$ of mercury. The temperature of the jar is reduced by $1\%.$ The saturated vapour pressure of water at the two temperatures are $30 \, mm$ and $25 \, mm$ of mercury.
