The molar heat capacity, C_(v) , of helium gas is 3/2 R and is independent of temperature. For hydrogen gas, C_(v) approaches 3/2R at very low temperature, equal 5/2R at moderate temperature and is higher than 5/2 R at high temperatures. The statement(s) which explain this variation is/are

    An oxygen cylinder of volume 30 litres has an initial gauge pressure of 15 atm and a temperature of 27 ^(@)C . After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, the gauge pressure drops to 11 atm and its temperature drops to 17^(@)C .

    Lithium forms monoxide only when heated in oxygen. Sodium forms monoxide and peroxide in excess of oxygen. Other alkali metals form superoxide with oxygen i.e MO_(2) . The abnormal behaviour of lithium is due to small size. The larger size of nearer alkali metals also decides the role in formation of superoxides. The three ions are related to each other as follows O^(2-) overset(1/2O_(2))rarrunderset(O_(2^(2-)))overset(O_(2))rarrunderset("superoxide ion")2O_(2) Lithium does not form stable peroxide because

    Aluminium is stable in air and water inspite of the fact that it is reactive metal. The reason is that a thin film of its oxide, if formed on its surface which makes it passive for further attack. The layer is so useful that in industry, it is purposely deposited by an electrolytric process called anodizing. Reaction of aluminium with oxygen is highyl exothermic and is called thermite reaction 2Al(s)+(3)/(2)O_(2)(g)rarr Al_(2)O_(3)(s), Delta H=-1670 kJ Thermite reaction finds applications in the metallurgical extraction of many metals from their oxides and for welding of metals. The drawback is that to start the reaction, high temperature is required for which an ignition mixture is used. Thermite mixture used for welding is
