JEE Main & Advanced Physics Kinetic Theory of Gases Sample Paper Topic Test - Kinetic Theory of Gases

  • question_answer
    A monoatomic ideal gas is expanded adiabatically to n times of its initial volume. The ratio of final rate of collision of molecules with the unit area of container walls to the initial rate will be

    A) \[{{n}^{-4/3}}\]

    B) \[{{n}^{4/3}}\]

    C) \[{{n}^{2/3}}\]        

    D)  \[{{n}^{-2/3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a]: Pressure is exerted by gas on container wall due to change in momentum during collision of gas molecules with container walls.
    i.e., \[P={{N}_{2}}\,\,mv\] and also \[v\propto \sqrt{T}\]
    Hence, \[P\propto N\,\,\sqrt{T},\,\,\,\,\,\text{i}\text{.e}\text{.,}\,\,\,\frac{{{N}_{2}}}{{{N}_{1}}}=\frac{{{P}_{2}}}{{{P}_{1}}}\,\sqrt{\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}}={{n}^{-4/3}}\]
