Is poore page par use hone waale constants:
Level 1 — Recognition
Exercise 1.1
Ek gas sample mein mol hai, temperature K hai, aur volume hai. Pressure find karo.
Recall Solution
KYA chahiye: hume chahiye, aur already pata hain — ke har symbol ki value pata hai sirf ke alawa. YE tool kyun: ideal gas law exactly inhi chaar quantities ke beech direct relation hai; koi kinetic detail zaroorat nahi. Units check: . ✓
Exercise 1.2
Symbols , , , , mein se har ek kya represent karta hai, batao — aur har ek ka correct SI unit bhi do.
Recall Solution
- — pressure — pascal (Pa = N/m²)
- — volume — cubic metre (m³)
- — amount of substance — mole (mol)
- — universal gas constant — J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹
- — absolute temperature — kelvin (K)
Ek important point: Kelvin mein hota hai, kabhi Celsius mein nahi (neeche L1 mistake dekho).
Level 2 — Application
Exercise 2.1
mol gas Pa aur K par rakha hai. Volume find karo.
Recall Solution
KYA: ko ke liye solve karo. KYU: chaar mein se teen unknowns diye hue hain, ek target hai. Ye lagbhag litres hai — ek reasonable lab flask.
Exercise 2.2
Oxygen molecules ( kg/mol) ki rms speed K par find karo.
Recall Solution
KYA: per-mole speed formula use karo. YE tool kyun: rms speed tab milti hai jab per mole translational energy ko ke barabar rakhte hain — ye scaling parent ke Example 1 mein ki gayi hai. Parent ke (517 m/s) se bhaari hai kyunki zyada hai → slower. ✓ Is value ke aas-paas speeds ke poore spread ke liye dekho Maxwell-Boltzmann Speed Distribution.
Exercise 2.3
Pa aur K par gas mein kitne molecules hain?
Recall Solution
KYA: (molecule form) use karo. YE form kyun: question directly maang raha hai, isliye nahi use karo. se cross-check: pehle moles nikalo, mol. Phir Avogadro's number se molecules mein convert karo: . ✓ Dono routes agree karte hain, jo exactly ka statement hai.
Level 3 — Analysis
Exercise 3.1
Ek rigid sealed tank mein gas Pa aur K par hai. Isko heat karke K kiya jaata hai. Volume aur amount fixed hain. Naya pressure find karo.
Recall Solution
KYA: usi gas ke do states ko relate karo. RATIO kyun: nahi badle, isliye constant hai. Dono states ko divide karne se jo hum nahi jaante wo cancel ho jaata hai. Microscopic reading: , isliye temperature par molecules walls se zyada zor se aur zyada baar takraate hain → pressure badh jaata hai.
Exercise 3.2
Kis temperature par helium ( kg/mol) ki rms speed, nitrogen ( kg/mol) ki rms speed ke barabar hogi, jo K par rakha hai?
Recall Solution
KYA: dono rms speeds ko barabar set karo aur ke liye solve karo. SQUARES kyun matter karte hain: , isliye barabar speeds ka matlab hai barabar ratios. Helium halka hai, isliye wo same speed temperature par reach karta hai. Thanda helium utna hi fast hai jitna warm nitrogen — surprising hai par correct hai.
Exercise 3.3
Ek gas ki density hai pressure Pa par. use karke find karo.
Recall Solution
KYA: kinetic pressure ke density form ko invert karo. YE form kyun: yahan hume (mass per volume) diya gaya hai, ya nahi — density form exactly isi ke liye bana hai.
Level 4 — Synthesis
Exercise 4.1
Ek cubic box jiska side m hai, mein nitrogen molecules ( kg) hain, jo ke saath move kar rahe hain. Sirf mechanics result use karke ek wall par force find karo — phir se temperature confirm karo.
Derivation ki geometry (ek wall, area ) neeche dikhaya gaya hai.

Recall Solution
Step A — volume. . Step B — pressure (pure mechanics, temperature abhi nahi): Andar numerator: ; . Phir : Step C — EK wall par force (figure ki red wall dekho, area ): Step D — bridge se temperature: Toh ye gas freezing ke paas hai — ek modest speed ke saath consistent hai. Derivation ke har arrow ko start se end tak use kiya gaya.
Exercise 4.2
Do containers ek closed valve se connect hain. Container A: , Pa. Container B: , Pa. Dono same par hain, jo fixed rehta hai. Valve khulta hai; gas mix hoti hai. Final common pressure find karo.
Do-tank setup neeche dikhaya gaya hai.

Recall Solution
KYA: total number of moles conserved hai; temperature fixed hai. MOLES kyun count karein: kehta hai , aur moles tab bas add ho jaate hain jab gases merge hoti hain. Pehle moles: , . Valve kholne ke baad, total volume , total moles , same : cancel ho jaata hai — beautiful. Solve karte hain: Unit consistency note: agar is ratio mein litre factors cancel ho jaate hain, phir bhi hamesha poori calculation mein ek consistent unit system rakho. Agar SI mein convert karo, to aur use karo; tab upar aur neeche cancel ho jaayega, aur identical answer milega. Kabhi ek term mein litres aur doosre mein m³ mix mat karo — agar kisi problem mein units cancel na hon, to wo silent mismatch ek classic wrong answer deta hai. Ye bas dono pressures ka volume-weighted average hai.
Level 5 — Mastery
Exercise 5.1
Kinetic pressure result se derive karo ki per molecule average translational kinetic energy sirf temperature par depend karti hai, phir isko K par evaluate karo. Explain karo ki iska matlab kyun hai ki same temperature par do alag gases ka same hota hai.
Recall Solution
Step A — mechanics se shuru: . Step B — energy introduce karo ka factor daalkaar: 2 se multiply aur divide karo, Step C — measured law ke barabar rakho: YE sirf par kyun depend karta hai: mass aur speed cancel ho gayi; molecule ke type ke baare mein kuch bhi nahi bachta — sirf bachta hai. Ye exactly Equipartition Theorem ka result hai 3 translational degrees of freedom ke liye. 300 K par numeric: Consequence: 300 K par helium aur nitrogen ka J identical hai. Halka helium same energy carry karne ke liye bas faster move karta hai — ye Temperature and Internal Energy se connect karta hai.
Exercise 5.2
Ek real gas high pressure par se deviate karta hai. van der Waals equation mein, available volume tak reduce ho jaata hai kyunki molecules ka finite size hota hai. mol gas ke liye mein K par ke saath, estimate karo ki ideal-gas pressure true (volume-corrected) pressure ko kitne percentage se underestimate karta hai, sirf volume correction rakhke: .
Recall Solution
KYA: ideal ko volume-corrected se compare karo. kyun: point particles pura box use kar sakte the, lekin real molecules space occupy karte hain, isliye kam room free hoti hai — dekho Real Gases and Van der Waals Equation. Ratio lene par cancel ho jaata hai: Toh corrected pressure lagbhag zyada hai: Ideal law yahan pressure under-predict karta hai kyunki wo galti se assume karta hai ki molecules pura volume access kar sakte hain.
Exercise 5.3
Mean square speed teeno Cartesian axes mein equally split hoti hai. likho ek molecule ke -axis along velocity component ke liye (teen perpendicular directions mein se ek), aur se denote karo ka mean jo saare molecules par liya gaya ho. Algebraically dikhao ki , "per-axis" rms speed ka guna hai, aur us se Exercise 2.2 ke oxygen ke liye find karo.
Recall Solution
Pehle symbols. Ek molecule ki velocity ke teen perpendicular components hain , ek box ke har axis ke along. bas itna hai ki wo -direction mein kitni fast move karta hai; har molecule par us component ke square ka average hai. Full speed obey karta hai . KYA: full-speed spread ko one-axis spread se relate karo. kyun: isotropy ne diya tha parent derivation ke Step 5 mein, kyunki koi bhi direction special nahi hai (). Square roots lo: Oxygen ke liye, m/s (Ex 2.2), isliye Har single axis total speed spread ka carry karta hai — factor ka geometric heart yahi hai.
