According to kinetic energy theory, if we increase the temperature of a gas, it will increase the average kinetic
energy of the molecule, which will increase the motion of the molecules.
This increased motion increases the outward pressure of the gas.

The average kinetic energy (KE) or energy (E) of translation per molecules of the gas is related to temperature by the
relationship:

KE =
3
2
kB T       (degree of freedom of a monoatomic gas = 3)

Where K E = kinetic energy, kB = Boltzmann constant and T = temperature.

CONCEPT:

The pressure in a gas developed due to the collisions between the gaseous molecules.
The energy possessed by the molecule of the gas due to its motion is called kinetic energy of the gas
molecules.

From the kinetic theory of gases, the pressure (P) exerted by an ideal gas is given by
1
P =
3
ρ C
2

where ρ​is the density of ideal gas and C is its root mean square velocity.

We know, density = mass/volume which implies that mass = density × volume. So, for a unit volume of gas, mass=
ρ × 1 = ρ 

Now, the mean kinetic energy of translation per unit volume of gas (E) =  12 ρC 2

P (1/3) C ρ 2
2 2
T heref ore, = = or, P = E
E (1/2) C ρ 2
3 3

EXPLANATION:

The pressure(P) that is exerted by an ideal gas is equal to two-thirds of the mean kinetic energy of
translation(E) per unit volume of the gas:
2
P = E
3

So option 1 is correct.

EXTRA POINTS:

The pressure exerted by a gas:

According to kinetic theory, the molecules of a gas are in a state of continuous random motion.


They collide with one another and also with the walls of the vessel.
Whenever a molecule collides with the wall, it returns with a changed momentum, and an equal momentum is
transferred to the wall (conservation of momentum).
According to Newton's second law of motion, the rate of transfer of momentum to the wall is equal to the force
exerted on the wall.
Since a large number of molecules collide with the wall, a steady force is exerted on the wall.
The force exerted per unit area of the wall is the pressure of the gas.
Hence a gas exerts pressure due to the continuous collisions of its molecules with the walls of the vessel.

distribution of molecular motion in a gas?

1. Most likely speed increases.

2. The area under the distribution curve remains the same as below the lower temperature.

3. Distribution becomes widespread.

4. The fraction of molecules increases with the most possible speed.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : The fraction of molecules increases with the most possible speed.

The Kinetic Theory of Gases MCQ Question 5 Detailed Solution


Download Solution PDF

The correct answer is The fraction of molecules increases with the most possible speed.

Key Points
On increasing the temperature, the motion of the gas molecules becomes rapid and hence the value of the
most probable velocity also increases.
As a result, the entire distribution curve becomes flatter, and peak shifts to regions of higher velocities
As the temperature of the gas increases, the particles gain kinetic energy, and their speed increases.
The most probable speed is directly proportional to the square root of temperature.
The area under the distribution curve remains the same as under the lower temperature.
The total area under the curve is independent of the temperature.
The area under the distribution curve represents the total number of molecules.

or PV = constant
⇒ P1V1 = P2V2
As temperature remains constant in the isothermal process, then Boyle's law holds for an ideal gas Isothermal

EXPLANATION:

From above it is clear that according to Boyle’s law for a fixed mass of gas at a constant temperature, the
volume is inversely proportional to the pressure.
That means that, for example, if you double the pressure, you will halve the volume.
This can express this mathematically as

CONCEPT:

Basically Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution shows how the speed of molecules distributed for an ideal gas.
It can be represented with the following graph

If we draw Maxwell's curve between the number of particles and velocity, we can see that the curve first rises
from zero to a maximum then again reaches zero.
The total area under the graph represents the total no of molecules.

EXPLANATION:

From the shape of the curve, it is clear that only a certain no of molecules achieves very high velocities and
very low velocities.  Therefore option 2 is correct.
The peak gives the no of molecules acquired high velocity and the flattened part gives the no of molecules that
possess very low velocity.

The Kinetic Theory of Gases MCQ Question 14 Detailed Solution


Download Solution PDF

CONCEPT:

The ideal gas law is the equation of a hypothetical ideal gas.


Although it has several limitations, It is a good approximation of the behavior of many gases under many
conditions.

The ideal gas law is written as: PV = nRT

where P,V,T are the pressure, volume and temperature; n is the amount of mole; and R is the ideal gas constant.

CALCULATION:
Given that P2 = 2P1
T1 = 27°C = 273 + 27 = 300K
T2 = 127°C = 273 + 127 = 400K
Ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT
n =  P
RT
V

During the whole process, no. of moles will not change.


So, n1 = n2
P1 V1 P2 V2

RT 1 RT 2

P1 V1 (2P 1 )(V 2 )
=
300R R×400

V2 = (2/3) V1

CONCEPT:

The motion of Molecules:

As we know that all molecules are in constant motion.


Molecules of a liquid have more freedom of movement than those in a solid whereas molecules in a gas have
the greatest degree of motion.

EXPLANATION:

According to kinetic energy theory, if we increase the temperature of a gas, it will increase the average kinetic
energy of the molecule, which will increase the motion of the molecules.
This increased motion increases the outward pressure of the gas.
The average kinetic energy of translation per molecules of the gas is related to temperature by the relationship:
3
⇒ KE = kB T
2

Where E = kinetic energy, kB = Boltzmann constant and T = temperature

From the above equation, it is clear that the average kinetic energy of the gas molecule is directly proportional
to the absolute temperature of the gas. 
As the temperature of both gases is the same. Therefore, the average kinetic energy of O2 and H2 is the same.
Hence, option 4 is correct.

Option 3 : U ∝ T

The Kinetic Theory of Gases MCQ Question 16 Detailed Solution


Download Solution PDF

The correct answer is option 3) i.e. U ∝ T.

CONCEPT:

Kinetic theory of gas: The kinetic theory of gas assumes that the molecules of a gas are in constant random
motion and frequently collide with each other and also collide on walls of its container.
​The kinetic energy of the gas comes from the temperature of the gas. Greater the temperature, the more
the kinetic energy.
In an ideal gas, the inter-molecular collisions are assumed to be absent and hence have elastic collisions.
Therefore, an ideal gas possesses only kinetic energy, and thus, the internal energy of the ideal gas depends
only on temperature.
The kinetic energy of molecules of an ideal gas is given by:

KE =  32 nRT

Where n is the number of moles of gas, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature of gas.

EXPLANATION:

An ideal gas has only the kinetic energy of its molecules in random motion. Therefore, this is the same as the
internal energy of the gas molecules.

Since the kinetic energy of gas molecules =  32 nRT ,

kinetic energy and internal energy (U) is proportional to T.

Therefore, U ∝ T.

The Kinetic Theory of Gases MCQ Question 17 Detailed Solution


Download Solution PDF

The correct option is 4.

CONCEPT:

According to the first law of Thermodynamics:

ΔQ = ΔW + ΔU

Where ΔQ = Heat supplied to the system, ΔW = work done by the system, and ΔU = change in internal energy of
system 

Isothermal: The thermodynamic process in a system, during which the temperature remains constant is called


the isothermal process. 

ΔT = 0

Isochoric: The thermodynamic process in a system, during which the Volume remains constant is called the
isochoric process. 

ΔV = 0​

Adiabatic: The thermodynamic process in a system, during which no heat or mass transfer occurs between
thermodynamic systems is called an adiabatic process. 

ΔQ = 0

Most rapid processes are adiabatic.

EXPLANATION:

In the case of adiabatic compression:

ΔQ = 0

Volume decreases, so work done (ΔW) is negative.

Since ΔQ = ΔW + ΔU = 0

So ΔU = - Δ W

As the work is done on the system, the internal energy of the system will increase, and hence the temperature
of the system increase without giving any heat.

Additional Information
Internal Energy: The internal energy of a system is identified with the random, disordered motion of molecules;
The total (internal) energy in a system includes potential and kinetic energy.

The internal energy of an ideal gas is calculated by

ΔU = (nfRΔT)/2

where n is the number of moles, f is the degree of freedom of gas, R is gas constant, and T is the temperature.

CONCEPT:

Isochoric process: The process in which the volume of the gas remains constant is called isochoric process.
For example: A gas is filled in a closed container then volume of the gas will remain constant.

The Equation of State for an ideal gas is given by:

PV=nRT

Where, n is the number of moles of gas, Pressure(P), Temperature(T), and Volume(V) are the state variables and R is
the gas constant.

In an isochoric process:  P
T
= Constant

EXPLANATION:

Given that: The gas is closed in a container so it is an isochoric process.

Initial pressure (P1) =24 Pa and initial temperature (T1) = 40 K

Final temperature (T2) = 100 K


P1 P2
=
T1 T2

24 P2
=
40 100

So final pressure (P2) = (24 × 100)/40 = 60 Pa

The Kinetic Theory of Gases MCQ Question 19


Download Solution PDF

At constant pressure, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. This is
the statement of –

1. Charles law

2. Boyle’s law

3. Faraday law

4. Gay-Lussac’s law 

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : Charles law

The Kinetic Theory of Gases MCQ Question 19 Detailed Solution


Download Solution PDF

CONCEPT:

Isobaric changes: When a thermodynamic system undergoes a physical change in such a way that its
pressure remains constant, then the change is known as isobaric changes.

EXPLANATION:

Charles law:

If the pressure remaining constant, the volume of the given mass of a gas is directly proportional to its
absolute temperature.
i.e. V ∝ T

or V/T = constant
V1 V2
⇒ =
T1 T2

At constant pressure, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. This is the
statement of Charles law. Thus option 1 is correct.
For a given mass of an ideal gas at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its
pressure. This is the statement of Boyle’s law. Thus option 2 is incorrect.
Faraday law is related to electromagnetic induction. Thus option 3 is correct.
The volume remaining constant, the pressure of a given mass of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute
temperature. This is the statement of Gay-Lussac’s law or pressure law. Thus option 4 is incorrect.
