The density of water is $1000 \; kg \; m^{-3}$. The density of water vapour at $100 \; ^{\circ}C$ and $1 \; atm$ pressure is $0.6 \; kg \; m^{-3}$. The volume of a molecule multiplied by the total number gives what is called molecular volume. Estimate the ratio (or fraction) of the molecular volume to the total volume occupied by the water vapour under the above conditions of temperature and pressure.

  • C
    $6 \times 10^{-5}$
  • D

$\frac{1}{2}$ mole of helium gas is contained in a container at $S.T.P.$ The heat energy needed to double the pressure of the gas,keeping the volume constant (specific heat of the gas $= 3 \; J \; g^{-1} \; K^{-1}$) is ...... $J$.

$A$ horizontal uniform glass tube of $100 \ cm$ length, sealed at both ends, contains a $10 \ cm$ mercury column in the middle. The temperature and pressure of air on either side of the mercury column are $31^{\circ} C$ and $76 \ cm$ of mercury, respectively. If the air column at one end is kept at $0^{\circ} C$ and the other end at $273^{\circ} C$, then the pressure of air which is at $0^{\circ} C$ is (in $cm$ of $Hg$):

$A$ closed vessel contains a mixture of two diatomic gases $A$ and $B$. Molar mass of $A$ is $16$ times that of $B$ $(M_A = 16 M_B)$ and mass of gas $A$ contained in the vessel is $2$ times that of $B$ $(m_A = 2 m_B)$. Which of the following statements are true?
