At which temperature the r.m.s. velocity of a hydrogen molecule equal to that of an oxygen molecule at 47^circmathrmC?

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula v_textrms = sqrtfrac3RTM ### Core Logic For the RMS velocities to be equal, the ratio of temperature to molar mass (T/M) must be identical for both gases. ### Step 1: Set Up Equivalency sqrtfrac3RT_H_2M_H_2 = sqrtfrac3RT_O_2M_O_2 fracT_H_2M_H_2 = fracT_O_2M_O_2 ### Step 2: Substitute Values T_O_2 = 47^circmathrmC = 47 + 273 = 320 mathrm~K M_H_2 = 2 mathrm~g/mol M_O_2 = 32 mathrm~g/mol fracT_H_22 = frac32032 T_H_2 = 2 times 10 = 20 mathrm~K ### Pattern Recognition v_textrms scales strictly as sqrtT/M. Remember to always convert Celsius to Kelvin before substituting. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Kinetic Theory of Gases

Q22 jee_main_2025_02_april_evening Internal Energy of Gas
The internal energy of air in 4mathrmmtimes 4mathrmmtimes 3mathrmm sized room at 1 atmospheric pressure will be \_ times 10^6mathrmJ. (Consider air as diatomic molecule)
Numerical Answer. Answer: 12 to 12

Solution

### Related Formula 1. Ideal Gas Law: P V = n R T 2. Internal Energy (U) of a diatomic gas (f = 5 degrees of freedom): U = n C_v T = n left(frac52 Rright) T = frac52 P V ### Core Logic Given parameters: - Dimensions of the room = 4 \ mathrmm times 4 \ mathrmm times 3 \ mathrmm - Volume of air in the room V = 4 times 4 times 3 = 48 \ mathrmm^3 - Room pressure P = 1 \ mathrmatm = 10^5 \ mathrmN/m^2 ### Step 1: Calculate internal energy Using the thermodynamic relationship: U = frac52 P V Substitute the volume and pressure parameters: U = frac52 times 10^5 \ mathrmN/m^2 times 48 \ mathrmm^3 U = 5 times 10^5 times 24 = 120 times 10^5 \ mathrmJ = 12 times 10^6 \ mathrmJ Thus, the internal energy is 12 times 10^6 mathrm~J. ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Internal energy of diatomic gas occupying a macroscopic room volume. Trap: Attempting to calculate thermodynamic variables like temperature or density explicitly. Internal energy is completely determined by pressure and volume via degrees of freedom (U = fracf2PV). Shortcut: A diatomic gas has f=5, so U = 2.5 PV. Putting in numbers, U = 2.5 times 10^5 times 48 = 120 times 10^5 = 12 times 10^6 mathrm~J, leaving a coefficient of 12. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Kinetic Theory of Gases
Q24 jee_main_2025_02_april_morning Specific Heat Capacities of Gases
gamma_A is the specific heat ratio of monoatomic gas A having 3 translational degrees of freedom. gamma_B is the specific heat ratio of polyatomic gas B having 3 translational, 3 rotational degrees of freedom and 1 vibrational mode. If fracgamma_Agamma_B = left(1 + frac1nright) then the value of n is
Numerical Answer. Answer: 3 to 3

Solution

### Related Formula gamma = 1 + frac2f ### Core Logic Let's find the specific heat ratio for each gas based on degrees of freedom: 1. **Monoatomic gas A:** - Degrees of freedom, f_A = 3 (translational only) gamma_A = 1 + frac23 = frac53 2. **Polyatomic gas B:** - Translational degrees of freedom = 3 - Rotational degrees of freedom = 3 - Vibrational modes = 1. *Note: Each active vibrational mode has 2 degrees of freedom (kinetic + potential energy terms).* This contributes 2 times 1 = 2 degrees of freedom. - Therefore, the total active degrees of freedom is: f_B = 3 + 3 + 2 = 8 The specific heat ratio of B is: gamma_B = 1 + frac2f_B = 1 + frac28 = 1 + frac14 = frac54 Now, find the ratio of specific heat capacities: fracgamma_Agamma_B = frac5/35/4 = frac43 We are given: fracgamma_Agamma_B = 1 + frac1n implies frac43 = 1 + frac1n implies frac1n = frac13 implies n = 3 ### Step 1: Final Conclusion The value of n is 3. ### Pattern Recognition Always remember that each vibrational mode contributes exactly 2 degrees of freedom because it holds both kinetic and potential energy components (f_textvib = 2 times textmodes). ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Kinetic Theory of Gases Class 11 Physics: Thermodynamics
Q17 jee_main_2025_03_april_evening Gas Laws and Temperature Dependency
Pressure of an ideal gas, contained in a closed vessel, is increased by 0.4% when heated by 1^circmathrmC. Its initial temperature must be :
  • A. 25^circmathrmC
  • B. 2500 K
  • C. 250 K
  • D. 250^circmathrmC

Solution

### Related Formula For an ideal gas in a closed container, the volume V remains constant (isochoric process). By Gay-Lussac's Law: P propto T Rightarrow fracDelta PP = fracDelta TT where T must be in Kelvin. ### Core Logic Given parameters: - Percent increase in pressure: fracDelta PP times 100 = 0.4\% Rightarrow fracDelta PP = 0.004 - Increase in temperature Delta T = 1^circmathrmC = 1mathrm~K ### Step 1: Calculate initial temperature (T) Substitute the values into Gay-Lussac's fractional variance formula: 0.004 = frac1T T = frac10.004 = 250mathrm~K ### Pattern Recognition A standard percentage-increase layout. A change of 0.4\% means frac1250 of the original quantity. Hence, a 1mathrm~K rise corresponds to an initial temperature of 250mathrm~K directly. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Kinetic Theory of Gases

  • B. A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
  • C. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
  • D. A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I

Solution

### Related Formula The ratio of specific heats gamma is related to degrees of freedom f by: gamma = fracC_PC_V = 1 + frac2f ### Core Logic Determine the degrees of freedom f for each type of gas: - **Monoatomic gas**: Translational only \implies f = 3 gamma = 1 + frac23 = frac53 quad text(Matches C-I) - **Diatomic rigid gas**: Translational (3) + Rotational (2) \implies f = 5 gamma = 1 + frac25 = frac75 quad text(Matches D-II) ### Step 1: Check Remaining Categories - **Diatomic non-rigid gas**: Translational (3) + Rotational (2) + Vibrational (2) \implies f = 7 gamma = 1 + frac27 = frac97 quad text(Matches B-IV) - **Triatomic rigid gas**: Translational (3) + Rotational (3) \implies f = 6 gamma = 1 + frac26 = 1 + frac13 = frac43 quad text(Matches A-III) This yields the matching order: A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II. ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Degrees of freedom and \gamma values. Shortcut: Lower degrees of freedom result in higher \gamma values. Order of degrees of freedom: Monoatomic (3) < Diatomic rigid (5) < Triatomic rigid (6) < Diatomic non-rigid (7). Corresponding \gamma: \frac{5}{3} > \frac{7}{5} > \frac{4}{3} > \frac{9}{7}$. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Kinetic Theory
Q9 jee_main_2025_28_jan_morning Rms Speed and Temperature
For a particular ideal gas which of the following graphs represents the variation of mean squared velocity of the gas molecules with temperature?
  • A. textGraph (1)
  • B. textGraph (2)
  • C. textGraph (3)
  • D. textGraph (4)

Solution

### Related Formula mathrmV_mathrmrms = sqrtfrac3mathrmRmathrmTmathrmM implies mathrmV_mathrmrms^2 = frac3mathrmRmathrmMmathrmT ### Core Logic The parameter asked is the mean squared velocity, which corresponds directly to mathrmV_mathrmrms^2. From the ideal gas kinematics relation, we observe: mathrmV_mathrmrms^2 propto mathrmT Comparing this format against standard geometric linear templates (y = mx), the curve must map as a clean straight line originating from absolute zero zero coordinates. ### Step 1: Final Conclusion This linear profile matches Graph (1), selecting option (1). ### Pattern Recognition Watch the vertical ordinate labels carefully: Root-mean-square velocity scales as a sub-linear curve (sqrtmathrmT), while mean squared metric trends linearly directly (y propto x). ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Kinetic Theory
