On the basis of the kinetic theory of gases, one compares \(1~\text{gm}\) of hydrogen with \(1~\text{gm}\) of argon both at \(0^\circ \text{C}.\) Then:

1. the same temperature implies that the average kinetic energy of the molecules is the same in both cases.
2. the same temperature implies that the average potential energy of the molecules is the same in both cases.
3. the internal energies in both cases are equal.
4. when both the samples are heated by \(1^\circ \text{C},\) the total energy added to both of them is the same.

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): The translational kinetic energy of every molecule of an ideal gas increases by \(50\%,\) if the absolute temperature is raised by \(50\text{%}.\)
Reason (R): The average translational kinetic energy of the molecules of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
 
1. (A) is True but (R) is False.
2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

A molecule of helium \((He),\) having a speed equal to the RMS speed at a temperature of \(400~\text K,\) is introduced into hydrogen gas \((H_2)\) at \(300~\text K.\) After sufficient time (and collisions with the hydrogen gas molecules), the speed of the helium molecule will (on average):
1. increase
2. decrease
3. remain the same
4. become zero

Suppose that the average kinetic energy (translational & rotational) of random molecular motion of helium \(\mathrm{(He})\) at temperature \(T_\mathrm{He}\) is equal to that of hydrogen \(\mathrm{(H_2})\) at temperature \(T_\mathrm{H_2}.\) Then;
1. \(T_\mathrm {H_{2}}=T_\mathrm{H e}\) 2. \(\dfrac{T_\mathrm{H_2}}{2}=\dfrac{T_\mathrm{He}}{4}\)
3. \(5 T_\mathrm{H_2}=3 T_\mathrm{He}\) 4. \(\dfrac{T_\mathrm{H_{2}}}{5}=\dfrac{T_\mathrm{{He }}}{3}\)
