Options
- AA - 4, B - 3, C - 1, D - 2
- BA - 3, B - 4, C - 2, D - 1
- CA - 3, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2
- DA - 4, B - 3, C - 2, D - 1
Correct answer
C. A - 3, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2
Step-by-step solution
According to the equipartition theorem, the average kinetic energy per degree of freedom per molecule is 1 2 k_B T . The total translational kinetic energy of 1 mole of an ideal gas is 3 2 RT . The most probable speed of gas molecules is given by v_ mp = 2RT M . The mean free path of a gas molecule is given by = 1 2 n d^2 . Thus, the correct matching is A - 3, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2. Answer: A - 3, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2
