At the top of a mountain,a thermometer reads $7^{\circ}C$ and a barometer reads $70 \ cm-Hg$. At the base of the mountain,the thermometer reads $27^{\circ}C$ and the barometer reads $76 \ cm-Hg$. The ratio of the density of air at the top of the mountain to the density of air at the base is:

  • A
    $1.689$
  • B
    $0.598$
  • C
    $0.789$
  • D
    $0.986$

$A$ thermally insulated vessel containing monatomic gas is moving with a speed of $30 \, m/s$. If the vessel suddenly stops, the increase in gas temperature is (Molar mass of gas $= 83 \, g/mol$ and $R = 8.3 \, J/K \cdot mol$). (in $ \, K$)

As shown schematically in the figure,two vessels contain water solutions (at temperature $T$) of potassium permanganate $(KMnO_4)$ of different concentrations $n_1$ and $n_2$ $(n_1 > n_2)$ molecules per unit volume with $\Delta n = (n_1 - n_2) \ll n_1$. When they are connected by a tube of small length $\ell$ and cross-sectional area $S$,$KMnO_4$ starts to diffuse from the left to the right vessel through the tube. Consider the collection of molecules to behave as dilute ideal gases and the difference in their partial pressure in the two vessels causing the diffusion. The speed $v$ of the molecules is limited by the viscous force $-\beta v$ on each molecule,where $\beta$ is a constant. Neglecting all terms of the order $(\Delta n)^2$,which of the following is/are correct? ($k_B$ is the Boltzmann constant)
$(A)$ the force causing the molecules to move across the tube is $\Delta n k_B T S$
$(B)$ force balance implies $n_1 \beta v \ell = \Delta n k_B T$
$(C)$ total number of molecules going across the tube per sec is $\left(\frac{\Delta n}{\ell}\right)\left(\frac{k_B T}{\beta}\right) S$
$(D)$ rate of molecules getting transferred through the tube does not change with time

Which graph represents the molar heat capacity at constant volume $(C_V)$ for a monoatomic gas?

$A$ 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 $Hg$):

$A$ cylindrical tube $AB$ of length $l$, closed at both ends, contains an ideal gas of $1 \text{ mol}$ having molecular weight $M$. The tube is rotated in a horizontal plane with constant angular velocity $\omega$ about an axis perpendicular to $AB$ and passing through the edge at end $A$. If $P_{A}$ and $P_{B}$ are the pressures at $A$ and $B$ respectively, then (Consider the temperature is same at all points in the tube):
