MEDIUM
A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen has volume 500 cm3, temperature 300 K, pressure 400 kPa and mass 0.76 g. The ratio of masses of oxygen to hydrogen will be:
HARD
State any ‘four’ assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases.
HARD

Consider an ideal gas confined in an isolated closed chamber. As the gas undergoes an adiabatic expansion, the average time of collision between molecules increases as Vq , where V is the volume of the gas. The value of q is:

γ=CPCv

Zig-zag movement of colloidal particles 

EASY
If the water is converted into ice, and its entropy is changed by ΔS, then
MEDIUM
A vertical closed cylinder is separated into two parts by a frictionless piston of mass m and of negligible thickness. The piston is free to move along the length of the cylinder. The length of the cylinder above piston is l1, and that below the piston is l2, such that l1>l2. Each part of the cylinder contains n moles of an ideal gas at equal temperature T. If the piston is stationary, its mass m will be given by:
(R is universal gas constant and g is the acceleration due to gravity)
EASY
If pressure and temperature of an ideal gas are doubled and volume is halved, the number of molecules of gas
EASY

Some smoke is trapped in a small glass container and is viewed through a microscope. A number of very small smoke particles are seen in continuous random motion as a result of their bombardment by air molecules. If the mass of the smoke particle is about 1012 times higher than that of an air molecule the average speed of a smoke particle is

HARD
A solid body of constant heat capacity 1 J -1 is being heated by keeping it in contact with reservoirs in two ways: (i) Sequentially keeping in contact with 2 reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies the same amount of heat. (ii) Sequentially keeping in contact with 8 reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies the same amount of heat. In both, cases the body is brought from initial temperature 100 K to final temperature 200 K . Entropy change of the body in the two cases respectively is: Note: This question was awarded as a bonus since temperatures were given in centigrade instead of in Kelvin. Proper corrections are made in the question to avoid it.
HARD
Particle A of mass mA=m2 moving along the x -axis with velocity v0 collides elastically with another particle B at rest having mass mB=m3. If both the particles move along the x -axis after the collision, the change λ in the wavelength of the particle A, in terms of its de-Broglie wavelength λ0 before the collision is:

The molecules of a given mass of gas have RMS velocity of 200  s-1 at 27oC and 1.0×105 m-2 pressure. When the temperature and pressure of the gas are respectively, 127oC and 0.05×105 m-2, the r.m.s. velocity of its molecules in s-1 is:

MEDIUM
An ideal gas is enclosed in a cylinder at pressure of 2 atm and temperature, 300 K. The mean time between two successive collisions is 6×10-8 s. If the pressure is doubled and temperature is increased to 500 K, the mean time between two successive collisions will be close to:

A spring - block system is resting on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. The spring constant is 2.0 N m-1 and the mass of the block is 2.0kg . Ignore the mass of the spring. Initially the spring is in an unstretched condition. Another block of mass 1.0kg moving with a speed of 2.0m s-1 collides elastically with the first block. The collision is such that the 2.0kg block does not hit the wall. The distance, in metres, between the two blocks when the spring returns to its unstretched position for the first time after the collision is _________.
