The air density at Mount Everest is less than that at the sea level. It is found by mountaineers that for one trip lasting a few hours,the extra oxygen needed by them corresponds to $30,000 \, cc$ at sea level (pressure $1 \, atm$,temperature $27^{\circ}C$). Assuming that the temperature around Mount Everest is $-73^{\circ}C$ and that the oxygen cylinder has a capacity of $5.2 \, L$,the pressure at which $O_2$ must be filled (at site) in the cylinder is .... $atm$.

  • C
    $5.77$

$A$ jar $P$ is filled with a gas having pressure,volume,and temperature $P, V, T$ respectively. Another gas jar $Q$ is filled with a gas having pressure $2P$,volume $\frac{V}{4}$,and temperature $2T$. The ratio of the number of molecules in jar $P$ to those in jar $Q$ is:

The number of molecules in a gas at pressure $1.64 \times 10^{-3} \text{ atm}$ and temperature $200 \text{ K}$ having the volume $1 \text{ cc}$ is:

An oxygen cylinder of volume $30 \; L$ has an initial gauge pressure of $15 \; atm$ and a temperature of $27 \; ^{\circ}C$. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder,the gauge pressure drops to $11 \; atm$ and its temperature drops to $17 \; ^{\circ}C$. Estimate the mass (in $kg$) of oxygen taken out of the cylinder ($R = 8.31 \; J \; mol^{-1} K^{-1}$,molecular mass of $O_{2} = 32 \; u$).

The equation for an ideal gas is $PV = RT,$ where $V$ represents the volume of

Three containers of the same volume contain three different gases. The masses of the molecules are $m_1, m_2$ and $m_3$ and the number of molecules in their respective containers are $N_1, N_2$ and $N_3$. The gas pressures in the containers are $P_1, P_2$ and $P_3$ respectively. All the gases are now mixed and put in one of the containers. The pressure $P$ of the mixture will be
