A monoatomic gas of molar mass mm is kept in a insulated container. Container is moving with velocity vv. If the container is suddenly stopped, then the change in the temperature of the gas is

Options

  1. Amv2/4Rm v^2 / 4 R
  2. Bmv2/2Rm v^2 / 2 R
  3. Cmv2/Rm v^2 / R
  4. Dmv2/3Rm v^2 / 3 R

Correct answer

D. mv2/3Rm v^2 / 3 R

Step-by-step solution

Let the insulated container has nn moles of the monoatomic gas. The loss of kinetic energy of the gas,
ΔEK=12(mn)v2\Delta E_K=\frac{1}{2}(m n) v^2
If the change in temperature of the gas is ΔT\Delta T, then heat gained by the gas is,
ΔQ=32nRΔT\Delta Q=\frac{3}{2} n R \Delta T
Now, according to question,
<br/>ΔQ=ΔEK<br/>32nRΔT=12mnv2<br/>⇒ΔT=mv23R<br/>\begin{aligned}<br />\Delta Q & =\Delta E_K \\<br />\frac{3}{2} n R \Delta T & =\frac{1}{2} m n v^2 \\<br />\Rightarrow \quad \Delta T & =\frac{m v^2}{3 R}<br />\end{aligned}
