According to the kinetic theory of gases,when two molecules of a gas collide with each other,then:

  • A
    both kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.
  • B
    neither kinetic energy nor momentum is conserved.
  • C
    momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved.
  • D
    kinetic energy is conserved but momentum is not conserved.

At which temperature will the speed of sound in hydrogen be the same as the speed of sound in oxygen at $100\,^{\circ}C$?

Two rigid boxes containing different ideal gases are placed on a table. Box $A$ contains one mole of nitrogen at temperature $T_0$,while Box $B$ contains one mole of helium at temperature $(7/3)T_0$. The boxes are then put into thermal contact with each other,and heat flows between them until the gases reach a common final temperature (ignore the heat capacity of the boxes). The final temperature of the gases,$T_f$,in terms of $T_0$ is:

One kg of a diatomic gas is at a pressure of $8 \times 10^4 \; N/m^2$. The density of the gas is $4 \; kg/m^3$. What is the energy (in $\times 10^4 \; J$) of the gas due to its thermal motion?

The temperature $(T)$ of one mole of an ideal gas varies with its volume $(V)$ as $T = -\alpha V^3 + \beta V^2$,where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive constants. The maximum pressure of the gas during this process is ............
