Two boxes containing different ideal gases are placed on a table. Box $A$ contains $1 \text{ mole}$ of nitrogen gas at temperature $T_o$,and box $B$ contains $1 \text{ mole}$ of helium gas at temperature $(7/3) T_o$. If they are brought into thermal contact such that both gases reach a final common temperature $T_f$,what is the final temperature $T_f$ in terms of $T_o$? (Neglect the heat capacity of the boxes.)

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?

Consider two boxes containing ideal gases $A$ and $B$ such that their temperatures, pressures, and number densities are the same. The molecular size of $A$ is half of that of $B$ and the mass of molecule $A$ is four times that of $B$. If the collision frequency in gas $B$ is $32 \times 10^{18} /s$, then the collision frequency in gas $A$ is . . . . . . $/s$.

For an ideal gas,the instantaneous change in pressure $p$ with volume $v$ is given by the equation $\frac{dp}{dv} = -ap$. If $p = p_{0}$ at $v = 0$ is the given boundary condition,then the maximum temperature one mole of gas can attain is: (Here $R$ is the gas constant)
