To decrease the volume of a gas by 5% at constant temperature, the pressure should be
- decreased by 5.26%
- increased by 5.26%
- decreased by 11%
- ncreased by 11 %
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
$ \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, $ pV = RT
$ \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, pV = p_2 \bigg( V - \frac{5}{100}V \bigg) $
$ \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, pV = p_2 \bigg(\frac{95}{100}V \bigg) $
$ \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, p_2 = \frac{20}{19}(p) $
Increase in pressure
$ \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, = \bigg(\frac{20}{19}-1 \bigg) \times 100 = \frac{1}{19} \times 100$ = 5.26%

- The equation for the RMS velocity is given as \[ v_{\text{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M_0}} \] where \( R \) is the gas constant, \( T \) is the temperature, and \( M_0 \) is the molecular mass. If the temperature is increased, find the new RMS velocity \( v_{\text{rms}} \) when the temperature is doubled.}

Consider a rope fixed at both ends under tension so that it is horizontal (i.e. assume the rope is along x-axis, with gravity acting along z-axis). Now the right end is continually oscillated at high frequency n (say n=100 Hz) horizontally and in a direction along the rope; amplitude of oscillation is negligible. The oscillation travells along the rope and is reflected at the left end.
Let the total length of rope be l, total mass be m and the acceleration due to gravity be g.
After initial phase (say a mintue or so), the rope has __(BLANK-1)__ wave, which is __(BLANK-2)__ in nature. It results from superposition of left travelling and right travelling __(BLANK-3)__ waves. This resulting wave has a frequency __ (BLANK-4)_ that of oscillation frequency nu. Simple dimensional analysis indicates that the frequency of can be of the form: ___(BLANK-5)__ .- IIITH UGEE - 2024

Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases
Postulates of Kinetic Theory of Gases:
- Gases consist of particles in constant, random motion. They continue in a straight line until they collide with each other or the walls of their container.
- Particles are point masses with no volume. The particles are so small compared to the space between them, that we do not consider their size in ideal gases.
- Gas pressure is due to the molecules colliding with the walls of the container. All of these collisions are perfectly elastic, meaning that there is no change in energy of either the particles or the wall upon collision. No energy is lost or gained from collisions. The time it takes to collide is negligible compared with the time between collisions.
- The kinetic energy of a gas is a measure of its Kelvin temperature. Individual gas molecules have different speeds, but the temperature and
kinetic energy of the gas refer to the average of these speeds. - The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to the temperature. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move.
- All gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy.
- Lighter gas molecules move faster than heavier molecules.
