The average force applied on the walls of a closed container depends as T ^ x where T is the temperature of an ideal gas. The value of x is
Options
- A1
- B2
- C3
- D4
Correct answer
A. 1
Step-by-step solution
The average force on the container walls is related to the gas pressure by F = PA , where A is the wall area. For a closed container, A is constant, so F P . According to the ideal gas law PV = nRT , with constant volume and number of moles, we have P T . Therefore, F T , which corresponds to x = 1 . The average force depends on temperature as T^1 . A
