Question 12.
CASE STUDY: PROPERTIES OF AN IDEAL GAS
A cubic vessel ABCDEFGH (with faces horizontal + vertical) contains an ideal gas at NTE The vessel
is being carried by a rocket which is moving up at a speed of 500 ms.
(i) The pressure of the gas inside the vessel as observed by us on the ground
(a) remains the same because 500 ms-1 is very much smaller than vrms of the gas.
(b) remains the same because motion of the vessel does not effect the relative motion of the gas
molecules and the walls.
(c) will increase by a factor equal to(υ2rms + (500)2)/υ2rms where υrms was the original mean square velocity of the gas
(d) will be different on the top and bottom wall of the vessel.

(ii) If the face of cube (EFGH) is made up of a material any gas molecule incident on it. At any given time,

(a) pressure on EFGH would be zero.
(b) pressure on all the faces will the equal.
(c) pressure of EFGH =2(Pressure on ABCD)
(d) pressure of EFGH = 1/2 (Pressure on ABCD)

(iii) Gas laws are applicable for ideal gas. Boyle’s law is applicable for an
(b) isothermal process.
(c) isobaric process
(d) isochoric process.

(iv) Volume versus temperature graphs for a given mass of an ideal gas are shown at two different values of constant pressure. What can be inferred about relation between P1 and P2?

(a) P1 > P2
(b) P1 = P2
(c) P1 < 2
(d) data is insufficient

(v) If the top surface of cube is replaced with frictionless movable piston of mass M, then as temperature is increased,

(a) both P and V of the gas will change.
(b) only P will increase according to Charles’s law.
(c) V will change but not P
(d) P will change but not V.
