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 , 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 .
C. The ratio of pressure will be .
D. The r.m.s. velocity of gas molecules in two vessels will be in the ratio of . Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Show answer and solution
Answer: (c)
- Same gas, same : is the same. A true, D false.
- with same , : , so . B true, C false.
- So the answer is (c) A and B only.
