Kinetic Theory - Result Question 14

14. In a vessel, the gas is at a pressure P. If the mass of all the molecules is halved and their speed is doubled, then the resultant pressure will be

(a) 4P

(b) 2P

(c) P

(d) P/2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 14. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) P=13mNVvrms2

where m= mass of each molecules

N= total number of molecules

V= volume of the gas

When mass is halved and speed is doubled then

Resultant pressure, P=13×(m2)×NV(2vrms)2

=2P
