According to the kinetic theory of gases,which of the following statements is $WRONG$?

  • A
    The pressure exerted by a gas is due to the collisions between the molecules of the gas
  • B
    Collisions between the molecules of a gas and that of the molecules with the walls of the containers are perfectly elastic
  • C
    All molecules of a gas are identical
  • D

$A$ 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 the air on either side of the mercury column are $81^{\circ} C$ and $76 \, cm$ of mercury, respectively. If the air column at one end is kept at $0^{\circ} C$ and the other end at $273^{\circ} C$, the pressure of the air which is at $0^{\circ} C$ is (in $cm$ of $Hg$):

From the following $V-T$ diagram,we can conclude that:

The oxygen molecule has a mass of $5.30 \times 10^{-26} \; kg$ and a moment of inertia of $1.94 \times 10^{-46} \; kg \cdot m^{2}$ about an axis through its centre perpendicular to the line joining the two atoms. Suppose the mean speed of such a molecule in a gas is $500 \; m/s$ and that its kinetic energy of rotation is two-thirds of its kinetic energy of translation. Find the average angular velocity of the molecule.
