KCET2023PhysicsKinetic Theory of Gases
Pressure of ideal gas at constant volume is proportional to
Options
- Aforce between the molecules
- Baverage potential energy of the molecules
- Ctotal energy of the gas
- Daverage kinetic energy of the molecules
Correct answer
D. average kinetic energy of the molecules
Step-by-step solution
Gay Lussac's law states that the pressure of a fixed mass of a gas at constant volume is directly proportional to the temperature. i.e. p T or p 1 2 K_B T Since kinetic energy of the molecules is directly proportional to the temperature.
