Consider a gas enclosed in a box. A molecule of mass m, having a velocity -2i+3j+4k collides with a wall parallel to the xz plane. What will be its velocity after collision and its change in momentum? i,j & k are unit vectors along the x,y & z axis.

-2i-3j+4k, -6mj 2i+3j-4k, -6mj -2i-3j+4k, 6mj 2i+3j-4k, 6mj

Consider a gas enclosed in a box. Let the walls have an area of 0.01m2. Let’s say a few molecules having their x-component of velocity =2m/s, hit a wall parallel to the yz plane. What will be the value of force on the wall in time dt? Let the number of molecules per unit volume be 10 & mass of each molecule be 10-20kg.

4*10^-19N 4*10^-21N 4/3*10^-21N 4/3*10^-19N

Consider a gas inside a box. It exerts some pressure on its walls. Find this value. GIven that number of molecules per unit volume be 20, mass of each molecule 10-20kg, vx2 = 1m2/s2.

Which of the following is not an assumption of KTG?

Time spent during collision is negligibly small All gases are made up of molecules moving randomly in all directions Molecules do not collide with each other Molecules collide elastically with the wall

The number of molecules per unit volume in the sample is 20. The mass of each molecule is 10-20kg. The mean of speed squared is 4m2/s2. What is the value of internal energy of the gas? Assume volume of container is 0.02m3.

0.8*10^-20J 0.53*10^-20J 0.01*10^-20J 0.45*10^-20J

One mole of mono atomic gas (g = 5/3) is mixed with one mole of diatomic gas (g = 7/5) what will be the value of g for the mixture?

1.5 2.5 1.0 2

A room temperature the r.m.s. velocity of the molecules of a certain diatomic gas is found to be 1930 m/sec. the gas is

Cl²

The temperature at which the r.m.s. velocity of H² becomes escape velocity from the earth is,

10059°C 10059 K 10332°C 10332 K

Moon has no atmosphere because

It is far away form the surface of the earth Its surface temperature is 10°C The r.m.s. velocity of all the gas molecules is more then the escape velocity of the moons surface The escape velocity of the moons surface is more than the r.m.s velocity of all molecules

At a certain temperature, hydrogen molecules have r.m.s. velocity of 3 km/s. what is the r.m.s velocity of the oxygen molecules at the same temperature?

0.25 km/s 0.5 km/s 0.75 km/s 6 km/s

When do real gases approach the ideal gas behaviour ?

At low pressure and high temperature At high pressure and high temperature At high pressure and low temperature At low pressure and low temperature

In kinetic theory of gases, it is assumed that molecules

Have different mass as well as volume

Have same volume but mass can be different

Have same mass but can have different volume

Molecules of a ideal gas behave like

Perfectly elastic rigid sphere

Inelastic non-rigid sphere

Perfectly elastic non-rigid sphere

Inelastic rigid sphere

When a gas is in thermal equilibrium, its molecules

Have the same average kinetic energy of molecules

Have different energies which remain constant
