$A$ rocket is propelled by a gas which is initially at a temperature of $4000\, K$. The temperature of the gas falls to $1000\, K$ as it leaves the exhaust nozzle. The gas which will acquire the largest momentum while leaving the nozzle is:

  • A
    Hydrogen
  • B
    Helium
  • C

An ideal gas expands adiabatically $(\gamma = 1.5)$. To reduce the root-mean-square (r.m.s.) velocity of the molecules $3$ times, the gas has to be expanded by a factor of: (in $\times$)

$A$ rigid diatomic gas having molar mass $M$ is contained in an insulated container. The container is moving with velocity $V$. If it is stopped suddenly, the change in temperature is ($R$ - gas constant).

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$. Statement $I$: Change in internal energy of a system containing $n$ mole of ideal gas can be written as $\Delta U = nC_v(T_f - T_i) = \frac{nR}{\gamma - 1}(T_f - T_i)$, where $\gamma = C_p/C_v, T_i = $ initial temperature, $T_f = $ final temperature. Statement $II$: Relation between degree of freedom $f$ and $\gamma(= C_p/C_v)$ is $\gamma = 1 + \frac{2}{f}$. Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

$A$ vessel contains $14 \, g$ ($7$ moles) of hydrogen and $96 \, g$ ($3$ moles) of oxygen at $STP$. $A$ chemical reaction is induced by passing an electric spark in the vessel until one of the gases is consumed. The temperature is brought back to its starting value of $273 \, K$. The pressure in the vessel is ...... $atm$.

If the heat required to increase the rms speed of $4$ moles of a diatomic gas from $v$ to $\sqrt{3} v$ is $83.1 \ kJ$, then the initial temperature of the gas is (Universal gas constant $R = 8.31 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$) (in $^{\circ} C$)
