A spherical balloon of volume V contains Helium gas at a pressure P. How many  moles of Helium are there in the balloon if the average kinetic energy of the  Helium atoms is  K.

a
3PVK−NA
b
PV3K−NA
c
PV3K−
d
3PV2K−NA

detailed solution

Correct option is D

We know, vRMS=3kTm=3RTM=3PVmass  of  gas ,      (1)where m, M are mass of each molecule, molar mass of gas respectively.⇒12mvRMS2=3kT2=K− Also, from (1), K−=12mvRMS2=3mPV2mass  of  gas But, mass  of  gasm=N (number of molecules).⇒K−=3PV2N⇒N=3PV2K− Now, number of moles =  n=NNA=3PV2K−NA

Two identical containers A and B have frictionless pistons. They contain the same volume of an ideal gas at the same temperature. The mass of the gas in A is mA and that in B is mB. The gas in each cylinder is now allowed to expand isothermally to double the initial volume. The change in the pressure in A and B, respectively, is p and 1.5 p. Then
