The mean free path of electrons in a metal is $4 \times 10^{-8} \;m$. The electric field which can give on an average $2 \;eV$ energy to an electron in the metal will be in units of $V/m$.

The mean free path $\ell$ for a gas molecule depends upon the diameter $d$ of the molecule as:

The value of critical temperature in terms of Vander Waals constants $a$ and $b$ is

There are two identical chambers,completely thermally insulated from surroundings. Both chambers have a partition wall dividing the chambers into two compartments. Compartment $1$ is filled with an ideal gas and Compartment $3$ is filled with a real gas. Compartments $2$ and $4$ are vacuum. $A$ small hole (orifice) is made in the partition walls and the gases are allowed to expand into the vacuum.
Statement $-1$: No change in the temperature of the gas takes place when an ideal gas expands in a vacuum. However,the temperature of a real gas goes down (cooling) when it expands in a vacuum.
Statement $-2$: The internal energy of an ideal gas is only kinetic. The internal energy of a real gas is kinetic as well as potential.
