NEETPhysicsKinetic Theory of Gases
Consider the following statements related to the Kinetic Theory of Gases: Statement 1: The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas. Statement 2: Gases behave ideally at high pressures and low temperatures. Statement 3: The volume occupied by the gas molecules themselves is negligible compared to the volume of the container. Statement 4: The collisions be
Options
- AOnly Statement 1 and Statement 3 are true.
- BStatements 1, 3, and 4 are true, but Statement 2 is false.
- CAll statements are true.
- DOnly Statement 2 and Statement 4 are true.
Correct answer
B. Statements 1, 3, and 4 are true, but Statement 2 is false.
Step-by-step solution
- Statement 1: True. The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. - Statement 2: False. Gases behave ideally at low pressures and high temperatures. - Statement 3: True. The volume of gas molecules is negligible compared to the volume of the container. - Statement 4: True. Collisions between gas molecules are considered perfectly elastic in the kinetic theory.
