Solve by difficulty

Directions: In this question, a word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as in the two matrices, given below. The columns and rows of Matrix (I) are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matrix (II) is numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and next by its column, e.g. 'O' can be represented by 03, 11, etc., and 'F' can be represented by 55, 68, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word.

Pressure of an ideal gas

Consider an ideal gas (consisting of N molecules each of mass m) enclosed in a cubical box of side L as shown in the below figure.

1. Instantaneous velocity-

Any molecule of gas moves with velocity v in any direction where v=vxi^+vyj^+vzk^

And Due to the random motion of the molecule

vx=vy=vz As v=vx2+vy2+vz2v=3vx2=3vy2=3vz2

2. The time during a collision-Time between two successive collisions with the wall A1

 I.e Δt= Distance travelled by molecule between two successive collision  Velocity of molecule  or Δt=2Lvx

3. Collision frequency ( n ): It means the number of collisions per second.
I.e n=1Δt=vx2L
4. Change in momentum: This molecule collides with A1 wall (A1) with velocity x and rebounds with velocity (vx)
The change in momentum of the molecule is given by

Δp=(mvx)(mvx)=2mvxΔpsystem =0Δpsystem =Δpmolecule +Δpwall =0Δpwall =Δpmolecule 


As the momentum remains conserved in a collision, the change in momentum of the wall A1 is

Δp=2mvx

5. Force on the wall: Force exerted by a single molecule on the A1 wall is equal to the rate at which the momentum is transferred to the wall by this molecule.
i.e. FSingle molecule =ΔpΔt=2mvx(2L/vx)=mvx2L

The total force on the wall A1 due to N molecules

Fx=mLvx2=mL(vx12+vx22+vx32+)=mNLvx2

where vx2= mean square of x component of the velocity.
6. Pressure-As pressure is defined as force per unit area, hence the pressure on A1 wall

Px=FxA=mNALvx2=mNVvx2 As vx2=vy2=vz2 So v2=vx2+vy2+vz2v2vx2=vy2=vz2=m3

So Total pressure inside the container is given by 

P=13mNVv2=13mNVvms2( where vms=v2)


Using total mass= M=mN
Pressure due to an ideal gas is given as

P=13ρvrms2=13(MV)vrms2

where
m= mass of one molecule
N= Number of the molecule

vrms2=v12+v22+.nvrms= RMS velocity
