Highly selective Backlog Qs for JEE MainPhysicsKinetic Theory of Gases
A monoatomic gas of molar mass m is kept in a insulated container. Container is moving with velocity v . If the container is suddenly stopped, then the change in the temperature of the gas is
Options
- Am v^2 / 4 R
- Bm v^2 / 2 R
- Cm v^2 / R
- Dm v^2 / 3 R
Correct answer
D. m v^2 / 3 R
Step-by-step solution
Let the insulated container has n moles of the monoatomic gas. The loss of kinetic energy of the gas, E_K= 1 2 (m n) v^2 If the change in temperature of the gas is T , then heat gained by the gas is, Q= 3 2 n R T Now, according to question, aligned Q & = E_K 3 2 n R T & = 1 2 m n v^2 T & = m v^2 3 R aligned
