NEET2018PhysicsKinetic Theory of GasesActual
Assertion : The total translational kinetic energy of all the molecules of a given mass of an ideal gas is 1.5 times the product of its pressure and its volume. Reason : The molecules of a gas collide with each other and the velocities of the molecules change due to collision.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
Average translational kinetic energy of a gas molecule is E= 3 2 k T For all gas molecules E= 3 2 k T N_A= 3 2 R T= 3 2 P V
