In an ideal gas, the molecules possess ______.
Options
Only kinetic energy
Both kinetic energy and potential energy
Only potential energy
Neither kinetic energy nor potential energy

Solution
In an ideal gas, the molecules possess only kinetic energy.
Explanation:
In an ideal gas, all the internal energy is in the form of kinetic energy, and any change in internal energy is accompanied by a change in temperature.

Figure shows a cylindrical tube of radius 5 cm and length 20 cm. It is closed by a tight-fitting cork. The friction coefficient between the cork and the tube is 0.20. The tube contains an ideal gas at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 300 K. The tube is slowly heated and it is found that the cork pops out when the temperature reaches 600 K. Let dN denote the magnitude of the normal contact force exerted by a small length dlof the cork along the periphery (see the figure). Assuming that the temperature of the gas is uniform at any instant, calculate `(dN)/(dt)`.
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 in figure.

Figure shows two rigid vessels A and B, each of volume 200 cm3, containing an ideal gas (Cv = 12.5 J K−1 mol−1). The vessels are connected to a manometer tube containing mercury.
