Given below are two statements: 
Statement I: The average momentum of a molecule in a sample of an ideal gas depends on temperature.
Statement II: The RMS speed of oxygen molecules in a gas is \(v\). If the temperature is doubled and the oxygen molecules dissociate into oxygen atoms, the RMS speed will become \(2v\).
 
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
4. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): The average velocity of the molecules of an ideal gas increases when the temperature rises.
Reason (R): The internal energy of an ideal gas increases with temperature, and this internal energy is the random kinetic energy of molecular motion.

The average momentum of the molecules in a sample of \(H_2\) - gas at temperature 300 K has a magnitude \(p_1\) and that for He-gas at the same temperature has the magnitude \(p_2.\) Then, 
1. \(p_1 > p_2\)
2. \(p_2 > p_1\)
3. \(p_1 = p_2\)
4. the relationship between \(p_1\) and \(p_2\) depends on pressure.

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. \({\large\dfrac{v_r}{L}}=\text{constant}\)
