During an experiment,an ideal gas is found to obey a condition $\frac{P^2}{\rho} = \text{constant}$ [$\rho = \text{density of the gas}$]. The gas is initially at temperature $T$,pressure $P$,and density $\rho$. The gas expands such that density changes to $\rho/2$.

  • A
    The pressure of the gas changes to $\sqrt{2} P$.
  • B
    The temperature of the gas changes to $\sqrt{2} T$.
  • C
    The graph of the above process on the $P-T$ diagram is a hyperbola.
  • D
    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$.

$A$ jar contains a gas and a few drops of water at $T \, K.$ The pressure in the jar is $830 \, mm$ of mercury. The temperature of the jar is reduced by $1\%.$ The saturated vapour pressure of water at the two temperatures are $30 \, mm$ and $25 \, mm$ of mercury. Then the new pressure in the jar will be ..... $mm$ of $Hg$.
