The absolute temperature of a gas is determined by

  • A
    the average momentum of the molecule.
  • B
    the velocity of sound in the gas.
  • C
    the number of molecules in the gas.
  • D
    the mean square velocity of the molecules.

$A$ vessel is partitioned into two equal halves by a fixed diathermic separator. Two different ideal gases are filled in the left $(L)$ and right $(R)$ halves. The $rms$ speed of the molecules in the $L$ part is equal to the mean speed of the molecules in the $R$ part. Then the ratio of the mass of a molecule in the $L$ part to that of a molecule in the $R$ part is

Column-$I$ represents the formula for ${v_{rms}}$ and Column-$II$ represents the corresponding condition (phenomena). Match them correctly:
Column-$I$Column-$II$
$(a)$ ${v_{rms}} = \sqrt {\frac{3P}{\rho}}$$(i)$ For $1 \text{ mole ideal gas}$
$(b)$ ${v_{rms}} = \sqrt {\frac{3RT}{M_0}}$$(ii)$ For one molecule of gas
$(c)$ ${v_{rms}} = \sqrt {\frac{3{k_B}T}{m}}$$(iii)$ On the basis of kinetic theory

Consider a sample of oxygen behaving like an ideal gas. At $300 \, K$,the ratio of root mean square (rms) velocity to the average velocity of gas molecules would be: (Molecular weight of oxygen is $32 \, g/mol$,$R = 8.3 \, J \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}$)

Two gases $A$ and $B$ are contained in two separate, but otherwise identical containers. Gas $A$ consists of monatomic molecules, each with atomic mass of $4 \ u$, whereas Gas $B$ consists of rigid diatomic molecules, each with atomic mass of $20 \ u$. If gas $A$ is kept at $27^{\circ} C$, at what temperature should gas $B$ be kept so that both have the same rms speed (in $^{\circ} C$)?

The r.m.s. speed of the molecules of a gas at $100^{\circ} C$ is $v$. The temperature at which the r.m.s. speed will be $\sqrt{3} v$ is: (in $^{\circ} C$)
