The bacterial growth follows the rate law, dN/dt = kN where k is a constant and 'N' is the number of bacteria cell at any time. If the population of bacteria (number of cell) is doubled in 5 min find the time in which the population will be eight times of the initial one?

Two gases X (molecular weight M_x) and Y (molecular weight M_y; M_Y > M_X) are at the same temperature T in two different containers. Their root mean square velocities are C_X and C_Y respectively. If the average kinetic energies per molecule of two gases X and Y are E_X and E_Y respectively then which of the following realation(s) is (are) true?

• E_X > E_Y

• C_X > C_Y

• E_X = E_Y = (3/2) RT

• E_X = E_Y = (3/2) k_BT
