Pressure & Kinetic Energy of a Gas

The average force applied on the walls of a closed container depends as TxT^{x} where T is the temperature of an ideal gas. The value of xx is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. F=PAF = PA and, at fixed volume, P∝TP \propto T.
  2. So F∝T1F \propto T^{1}, giving x=1x = 1.
  3. So the answer is (a) 1.
