MHT CET2016PhysicsKinetic Theory of Gases
The pressure exerted by an ideal gas on the walls of a container is
Options
- A1 3 r d of kinetic energy per unit volume of a gas
- B2 3 r d of kinetic energy per unit volume of a gas
- C3 4 t h of kinetic energy per unit volume of a gas
- D3 2 × kinetic energy per unit volume of a gas
Correct answer
B. 2 3 r d of kinetic energy per unit volume of a gas
Step-by-step solution
The pressure exerted by the gas on the walls of container is P = 1 3 ρ v 2 P = 1 3 ρ v 2 = 1 3 m V . v 2 × 2 2 = 2 3 K E V o l u m e
