The average translational kinetic energy of a molecule in a gas is $E_1$. The kinetic energy of the electron $(e)$ accelerated from rest through a potential difference of $V$ volts is $E_2$. The temperature at which $E_1 = E_2$ is possible is (where $N_A$ is Avogadro's number, $k_B$ is Boltzmann constant, and $R$ is the gas constant):

  • A
    $\frac{2eV}{3k_B}$
  • B
    $\frac{2eV}{3R}$
  • C
    $\frac{eV}{R}$
  • D
    $\frac{3eV}{2R}$

An insulated box containing a diatomic gas of molar mass $M$ is moving with a velocity $v$. The box is suddenly stopped. The resulting change in temperature is

In saloons,there is always a characteristic smell due to the ammonia-based chemicals used in hair dyes and other products. Assume the initial concentration of ammonia molecules to be $1000 \text{ molecules}/m^3$. Due to air ventilation,the number of molecules leaving in one minute is one-tenth of the molecules present at the start of that minute. How long will it take for the concentration of ammonia molecules to reach $1 \text{ molecule}/m^3$?
