  • B
    $0.5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$
  • C
    $2.5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$

If the volume of the gas containing $n$ number of molecules is $V,$ then the pressure will decrease due to the force of intermolecular attraction in the proportion:

An ideal gas in a closed container is slowly heated. As its temperature increases,which of the following statements are true?
$(A)$ The mean free path of the molecules decreases.

For a gas,$C_{p} - C_{V} = R$ in state $P$ and $C_{p} - C_{V} = 1.10 R$ in state $Q$. If $T_{P}$ and $T_{Q}$ are the temperatures in states $P$ and $Q$ respectively,then which of the following is true?

$A$ 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:

If the mean free path of atoms is doubled,then the pressure of the gas will become:
