Vapor is injected at a uniform rate in a closed vessel which was initially evacuated. The pressure in the vessel
A. increases continuously

B. decreases continuously

C. first increases and then decreases

D. first increase and then becomes constant.

The condition of air in a closed room is described as follows. Temperature 25°C, relative humidity = 60%, pressure = 104 kPa. If all the water vapor is removed from the room without changing the temperature, what will be the new pressure? The saturation vapor pressure at 25°C = 3.2 kPa.

The weather report reads, “Temperature 20°C: Relative humidity 100%”. What is the dew point?

Two glass bulbs of equal volume are connected by a narrow tube and are filled with a gas at 0°C at a pressure of 76 cm of mercury. One of the bulbs is then placed in melting ice and the other is placed in a water bath maintained at 62°C. What is the new value of the pressure inside the bulbs? The volume of the connecting tube is negligible.

Pure water vapour is trapped in a vessel of volume 10 cm³. The relative humidity is 40%. The vapour is compressed slowly and isothermally. Find the volume of the vapour at which it will start condensing.

The temperature and the dew point in an open room are 20°C and 10°C. If the room temperature drops to 15 °C, what will be the new dew point?

An ideal gas is kept in a long cylindrical vessel fitted with a frictionless piston of cross-sectional area 10 cm² and weight 1 kg. The length of the gas column in the vessel is 20 cm. The atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. The vessel is now taken into a spaceship revolving round the earth as a satellite. The air pressure in the spaceship is maintained at 100 kPa. Find the length of the gas column in the cylinder.

Figure shows a large closed cylindrical tank containing water. Initially the air trapped above the water surface has a height h₀ and pressure 2p₀ where p₀ is the atmospheric pressure. There is a hole in the wall of the tank at a depth h₁ below the top from which water comes out. A long vertical tube is connected as shown.

(a) Find the height h₂ of the water in the long tube above the top initially.

(b) Find the speed with which water comes out of the hole.

(c) Find the height of the water in the long tube above the top when the water stops coming out of the hole.

An ideal gas is kept in a long cylindrical vessel fitted with a frictionless piston of cross-sectional area 10 cm² and weight 1 kg (figure). The vessel itself is kept in a big chamber containing air at atmospheric pressure 100 kPa. The length of the gas column is 20 cm. If the chamber is now completely evacuated by an exhaust pump, what will be the length of the gas column? Assume the temperature to remain constant throughout the process.

Find the number of molecules in 1 cm³ of an ideal gas at 0°C and at a pressure of 10^–5 mm of mercury.

Consider a gas of neutrons. Do you expect it to behave much better as an ideal gas as compared to hydrogen gas at the same pressure and temperature?
