Molecular Speeds & Maxwell Distribution

Same gas is filled in two vessels of the same volume at the same temperature. If the ratio of the number of molecules is 1:41 : 4, then

A. The r.m.s. velocity of gas molecules in two vessels will be the same.

B. The ratio of pressure in these vessels will be 1:41 : 4.

C. The ratio of pressure will be 1:11 : 1.

D. The r.m.s. velocity of gas molecules in two vessels will be in the ratio of 1:41 : 4. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Same gas, same TT: vrms=3RTMv_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}} is the same. A true, D false.
  2. PV=NkBTPV = Nk_BT with same VV, TT: P∝NP \propto N, so P1:P2=1:4P_1 : P_2 = 1 : 4. B true, C false.
  3. So the answer is (c) A and B only.
