If temperature of a gas is raised, which of the following would be true?
Options
- AFraction of the molecules possessing most probable velocity will increase
- BFraction of the molecules possessing most probable velocity will decrease
- CFraction of possessing very low velocity will decrease
- DFraction possessing very high velocity will increase
Correct answer
D. Fraction possessing very high velocity will increase
Step-by-step solution
On increasing temperature, the Maxwell curve of distribution of molecular velocity is flattened and maximum is shifted to higher velocity.
