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.

  • A
    Statement $-1$ is false and Statement $-2$ is true.
  • B
    Statement $-1$ and Statement $-2$ both are true. Statement $-2$ is the correct explanation of Statement $-1$.
  • C
    Statement $-1$ is true and Statement $-2$ is false.
  • D
    Statement $-1$ and Statement $-2$ both are true. Statement $-2$ is not the correct explanation of Statement $-1$.

Estimate the mean free path and collision frequency of a nitrogen molecule in a cylinder containing nitrogen at $2.0 \; atm$ and temperature $17\,^{\circ} C$. Take the radius of a nitrogen molecule to be roughly $1.0 \; \mathring{A}$. Compare the collision time with the time the molecule moves freely between two successive collisions (Molecular mass of $N_{2} = 28.0 \; u$).

$A$ container is divided into two equal parts $I$ and $II$ by a partition with a small hole of diameter $d$. The two parts are filled with the same ideal gas,but held at temperatures $T_{I} = 150 \, K$ and $T_{II} = 300 \, K$ by connecting them to heat reservoirs. Let $\lambda_{I}$ and $\lambda_{II}$ be the mean free paths of the gas particles in the two parts,such that $d \gg \lambda_{I}$ and $d \gg \lambda_{II}$. Then,the ratio $\lambda_{I} / \lambda_{II}$ is close to:
