Let the inter molecular distance be D
Then in a volume of 34πD3 there is only one molecule.
34πD3P=(NA1)RT
D=(4πNAP3RT)31
Substituting P=4×10−10Pa,R=8.3,NA=6×1023,T=300K
D=0.2mm

10 mole of oxygen is heated at constant volume from $30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The change in the internal energy of the gas is $\_\_\_\_$ cal. (The molecular specific heat of oxygen at constant pressure, $C_{P}=7 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{mol}.{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $\mathrm{R}=2 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{mol}.{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.)
An ideal gas at pressure $P$ and temperature $T$ is expanding such that $PT^3 = $ constant. The coefficient of volume expansion of the gas is _______.
In the following $p-V$ diagram the equation of state along the curved path is given by $(V-2)^{2}=4 a p$ where $a$ is a constant. The total work done in the closed path is 
The volume of an ideal gas increases 8 times and temperature becomes $(1 / 4)^{\text {th }}$ of initial temperature during a reversible change. If there is no exchange of heat in this process $(\Delta \mathrm{Q}=0)$ then identify the gas from the following options (Assuming the gases given in the options are ideal gases):
A certain gas is isothermally compressed to $\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^{rd}$ of its initial volume ($V_o = 3$ litre) by applying required pressure. If the bulk modulus of the gas is $3 \times 10^5$ N/m$^2$, the magnitude of work done on the gas is _______ J.
