$N$ moles of a diatomic gas in a cylinder are at a temperature $T$. Heat is supplied to the cylinder such that the temperature remains constant but $n$ moles of the diatomic gas get converted into monoatomic gas. What is the change in the total kinetic energy of the gas?

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}nRT$
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2}nRT$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{2}nRT$

$\frac{1}{2}$ 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 ...... $J$.

The average translational kinetic energy and the $r.m.s.$ speed of molecules in a sample of oxygen gas at $300 \, K$ are $6.21 \times 10^{-21} \, J$ and $484 \, m/s$ respectively. The corresponding values at $600 \, K$ are nearly (assuming ideal gas behaviour):

For a diatomic gas,the change in internal energy at constant pressure and the change in internal energy for a unit temperature change are $U_1$ and $U_2$ respectively. Then $U_1 : U_2$ is equal to:

An ideal gas has $N$ molecules in a closed box at temperature $T_1$ and pressure $P_1$. If the number of molecules in the box is doubled and the total kinetic energy is kept the same,what will be the new pressure $P_2$ and temperature $T_2$?
