The temperature of a mono-atomic gas is measured by indirectly measuring the RMS speed of its molecules \(v_r.\) The gas is enclosed in a cubical vessel of side-\(L,\) and this gas expands adiabatically with the side-\(L\) expanding. During the process:
1. \(v_r~L^{1/3}=\text{constant}\) 2. \(v_r~L^{2}=\text{constant}\)
3. \(v_r~L=\text{constant}\) 4. \({\large\dfrac{v_r}{L}}=\text{constant}\)

An equimolar mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases is cooled until the carbon dioxide gas condenses. Assume that the volume of liquid \(CO_2\) is negligible compared to \(CO_2\) gas which behaves ideally. Before the gas condensed, the total pressure was \(P_1\) and after condensation the total pressure was \(P_2.\) The change in temperature is negligible. Then:
1. \(P_1=P_2\)    2. \(P_1=2P_2\)   
3. \(\Large\frac{P_1}{28}= \frac{P_2}{44}\) 4. \(28P_1=44P_2\)
