The left and right compartments of a thermally isolated container of length $L$ are separated by a thermally conducting,movable piston of area $A$. The left and right compartments are filled with $\frac{3}{2}$ and $1$ moles of an ideal gas,respectively. In the left compartment,the piston is attached by a spring with spring constant $k$ and natural length $\frac{2L}{5}$. In thermodynamic equilibrium,the piston is at a distance $\frac{L}{2}$ from the left and right edges of the container as shown in the figure. Under the above conditions,if the pressure in the right compartment is $P = \frac{kL}{A} \alpha$,then the value of $\alpha$ is:

  • A
    $(0.20)$
  • B
    $(1.20)$
  • C
    $(2.20)$
  • D
    $(3.20)$

The difference between volume and pressure coefficients of an ideal gas is

The density of water is $1000 \; kg \; m^{-3}$. The density of water vapour at $100 \; ^{\circ}C$ and $1 \; atm$ pressure is $0.6 \; kg \; m^{-3}$. The volume of a molecule multiplied by the total number gives what is called molecular volume. Estimate the ratio (or fraction) of the molecular volume to the total volume occupied by the water vapour under the above conditions of temperature and pressure.
