At the top of a mountain,a thermometer reads $7^{\circ}C$ and a barometer reads $70 \, cm$ of $Hg$. At the bottom of the mountain,these read $27^{\circ}C$ and $76 \, cm$ of $Hg$ respectively. The ratio of the density of air at the top to that at the bottom is

  • A
    $75/76$
  • B
    $70/76$
  • C
    $76/75$
  • D
    $76/70$

On which does the value of $\alpha_V$ depend for an ideal gas?

An ideal monoatomic gas is confined in a cylinder by a spring-loaded piston of cross-section $8.0 \times 10^{-3} \, m^2$. Initially,the gas is at $300 \, K$ and occupies a volume of $2.4 \times 10^{-3} \, m^3$,and the spring is in its relaxed state as shown in the figure. The gas is heated by a small heater until the piston moves out slowly by $0.1 \, m$. The force constant of the spring is $8000 \, N/m$ and the atmospheric pressure is $1.0 \times 10^5 \, N/m^2$. The cylinder and the piston are thermally insulated. The piston and the spring are massless,and there is no friction between the piston and the cylinder. The final temperature of the gas will be: (Neglect the heat loss through the lead wires of the heater. The heat capacity of the heater coil is also negligible.) (in $, K$)

There are two vessels filled with an ideal gas where the volume of one is double the volume of the other. The large vessel contains the gas at $8 \ kPa$ at $1000 \ K$,while the smaller vessel contains the gas at $7 \ kPa$ at $500 \ K$. If the vessels are connected to each other by a thin tube allowing the gas to flow and the temperature of both vessels is maintained at $600 \ K$,at steady state the pressure in the vessels will be (in $kPa$).

$A$ vessel of volume $8\, L$ contains an ideal gas at $300\, K$ and $2\, atm$ pressure. The gas is allowed to leak until the pressure becomes $125\, kPa$. Calculate the number of moles that leaked out if the temperature remains constant.

$A$ closed vessel contains $8\,g$ of oxygen and $7\,g$ of nitrogen. The total pressure is $10\,atm$ at a given temperature. If oxygen is now absorbed by introducing a suitable absorbent,the pressure of the remaining gas in $atm$ will be:
