A light container having a diatomic gas enclosed within is moving with velocity v . Mass of the gas is M and number of moles is n . The kinetic energy of gas w.r.t. ground is
Options
- A1 2 M^2+ 3 2 n R T
- B1 2 M v^2
- C1 2 M^2+ 5 2 n R T
- D5 2 n R T
Correct answer
C. 1 2 M^2+ 5 2 n R T
Step-by-step solution
According to kinetic theory of gases, Energy of diatomic gas having f number of degree of freedom is given as, B₁=n f 2 R T [For nmole gas] Since, degree of freedom of a diatomic gas, f=5 Kinetic energy of diatomic gas with respect to centre of mass, B₂=n f 2 R T B₂= 5 2 n R T Kinetic energy of gas with respect to ground = KE of centre of mass with respect to ground + KE with respect to centre of mass = 1 2 M v^2+ 5 2 n R T
