Kinetic Theory - Result Question 11

11. Increase in temperature of a gas filled in a container would lead to:

[2019]

(a) increase in its mass

(b) increase in its kinetic energy

(c) decrease in its pressure

(d) decrease in intermolecular distance

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 11. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) $U=\frac{F}{2} n R T$

As $U \propto T$

$\therefore$ Increase in temperature would lead to the increase in kinetic energy of gas.
