Statement - 1: The temperature dependence of resistance is usually given as $$R = {R_0}\left( {1 + \alpha \,\Delta t} \right).$$ The resistance of wire changes from $$100\Omega $$ to $$150\Omega $$ when its temperature is increased from $${27^ \circ }C$$ to $${227^ \circ }C$$. This implies that $$\alpha = 2.5 \times {10^{ - 3}}/C.$$

Statement - 2: $$R = {R_0}\left( {1 + \alpha \,\Delta t} \right)$$ is valid only when the change in the temperature $$\Delta T$$ is small and $$\Delta T = \left( {R - {R_0}} \right) < < {R_0}.$$

The speed of sound in oxygen $$\left( {{O_2}} \right)$$ at a certain temperature is $$460\,\,m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ The speed of sound in helium $$(He)$$ at the same temperature will be (assume both gases to be ideal)

An insulated container of gas has two chambers separated by an insulating partition. One of the chambers has volume $${V_1}$$ and contains ideal gas at pressure $${P_1}$$ and temperature $${T_1}$$. The other chamber has volume $${V_2}$$ and contains ideal gas at pressure $${P_2}$$ and temperature $${T_2}$$. If the partition is removed without doing any work on the gas, the final equilibrium temperature of the gas in the container will be

If $${C_p}$$ and $${C_v}$$ denote the specific heats of nitrogen per unit mass at constant pressure and constant volume respectively, then
