Three vessels of equal volume contain gases at the same temperature and pressure. The first vessel contains neon (monoatomic), the second contains chlorine (diatomic) and third contains uranium hexafluoride (polyatomic). Arrange these on the basis of their root mean square speed (vrms)({v}_{rms})(vrms​) and choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. A

    vrms(mono)>vrms(dia)>vrms(poly){v}_{rms}(\mathrm{mono})>{v}_{rms}(\mathrm{dia})>{v}_{rms}(\mathrm{poly})vrms​(mono)>vrms​(dia)>vrms​(poly)

  2. B

    Vrms(mono)=Vrms(dia)=Vrms(poly){V}_{rms}(\mathrm{mono})={V}_{rms}(\mathrm{dia})={V}_{rms}(\mathrm{poly})Vrms​(mono)=Vrms​(dia)=Vrms​(poly)

  3. C

    vrms(mono)<vrms(dia)<vrms(poly){v}_{rms}(\mathrm{mono})<{v}_{rms}(\mathrm{dia})<{v}_{rms}(\mathrm{poly})vrms​(mono)<vrms​(dia)<vrms​(poly)

  4. D

    vrms(dia)<vrms(poly)<vrms(mono){v}_{rms}(\mathrm{dia})<{v}_{rms}(\mathrm{poly})<{v}_{rms}(\mathrm{mono})vrms​(dia)<vrms​(poly)<vrms​(mono)

The temperature of a metal strip having coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha$ is increased from $T_1$ to $T_2$ resulting in increase of its length by $\Delta L_1$. The temperature is further increased from $T_2$ to $T_3$ such that the increase in its length is $\Delta L_2$. Given $T_3+T_1=2T_2$ and $T_2-T_1=\Delta T$, the value of $\Delta L_2$ is ______.

An ideal gas undergoes a process maintaining relation between pressure $(P)$ and volume $(V)$ as $P = P_o\left(1 + \left(\dfrac{V_o}{V}\right)^2\right)^{-1}$, where $P_o$ and $V_o$ are constants. If two samples $A$ and $B$ (two moles each) with initial volumes $V_o$ and $3V_o$ respectively undergo above mentioned process and attain same pressure, then the difference at the temperatures of these samples, $T_B - T_A$ is _____. ($R = $ gas constant)
