Diatomic molecules like hydrogen have energies due to both translational as well as rotational motion. From the equation in kinetic theory PV=23E, E is:

  • the total energy per unit volume.

  •  only the translational part of energy because rotational energy is very small compared to the translational energy.

  • only the translational part of the energy because during collisions with the wall, pressure relates to change in linear momentum.

  • the translational part of the energy because rotational energies of molecules can be of either sign and is average over all the molecules is zero.

When an ideal gas is compressed adiabatically, its temperature rises and thus, the molecules on the average have more kinetic energy than before. The kinetic energy
increases:

  • because of collisions with moving parts of the wall only.

  • because of collisions with the entire wall.

  • because the molecules gets accelerated in their motion inside the volume.

  • because of redistribution of energy amongst the molecules.

In a diatomic molecule, the rotational energy at a given temperature:

(a) obeys Maxwell’s distribution

(b) have the same value for all molecules

(c) equals the translational kinetic energy for each molecule

(d) is (2/3)rd the translational kinetic energy for each molecule

A cubic vessel (with faces horizontal + vertical) contains an ideal gas at NTP. The vessel is being carried by a rocket which is moving at a speed of 500 ms-1 in vertical direction. The pressure of the gas inside the vessel as observed by us on the ground:

  •  remains the same because 500 ms-1 is very much smaller than Vrms of the gas.

  •  remains the same because the motion of the vessel as a whole does not affect the relative motion of the gas molecules and the walls.

  •  will increase by a factor equal to V2rms+500V2rms where Vrms  was the original mean square velocity of the gas.

  •  will be different on the top wall and bottom wall of the vessel.

A cylinder containing an ideal gas is in a vertical position and has a piston of mass M that is able to move up or down without friction (figure). If the temperature is increased,

  • V will change but not P.

  • P will change but not V.

1 mole of H2 gas is contained in a box of volume V = 1.00 m3 at T = 300 K. The gas is heated to a temperature of T = 3000 K and the gas gets converted to a gas of hydrogen atoms. The final pressure would be: (considering all gases to be ideal)

A vessel of volume V contains a mixture of 1 mole of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen (both considered as ideal). Let f1(v)dv denotes the fraction of molecules with a speed between v and (v+dv) with f2(v)dv similarly for oxygen. Then,

  • f1(v)+f2(v) = f(v) obeys the Maxwell's distribution law

  •  f1(v), f2(v) will obey the Maxwell’s distribution law separately

  • neither f1(v), nor f2(v) will obey the Maxwell’s distribution law

  •  f2(v) and f1(v) will be the same
