For rigid diatomic molecules $\begin{array}{ll}
& f=5 \
\therefore & \gamma_1=\frac{7}{5}=1.4
\end{array}Fornon−rigiddiatomicmolecules\begin{array}{ll}
& f=5+2=7 \
& \gamma_2=\frac{9}{7}=1.28 \
\therefore & \gamma_1>\gamma_2
\end{array}$
For a diatomic gas, if γ1=(CvCp) for rigid molecules and γ2=(CvCp) for another diatomic molecules, but also having vibrational modes. Then, which one of the following options is correct ? (Cp and Cv are specific heats of the gas at constant pressure and volume)

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 r.m.s. speed of oxygen molecules at $47^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is equal to that of the hydrogen molecules kept at $\_\_\_\_$ ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. (Mass of oxygen molecule/mass of hydrogen molecule $=32 / 2$)
A gas of certain mass filled in a closed cylinder at a pressure of 3.23 kPa has temperature $50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The gas is now heated to double its temperature. The modified pressure is $\_\_\_\_$ Pa. Note: Volume is constant.
A cylindrical tube $A B$ of length $l$, closed at both ends contains an ideal gas of 1 mol having molecular weight $M$. The tube is rotated in a horizontal plane with constant angular velocity $\omega$ about an axis perpendicular to $A B$ and passing through the edge at end $A$, as shown in the figure. If $P_{A}$ and $P_{B}$ are the pressures at $A$ and $B$ respectively, then (Consider the temperature is same at all points in the tube)
