The molecule of a monatomic gas has only three translational degrees of freedom. Thus, the average
energy of a molecule at temperature 'T' is ____________.
1. 3kBT
2. (3/4) kBT
3. (1/3)kBT
4. (3/2)kBT
Option 4 : (3/2)kBT
CONCEPT:
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 =

CONCEPT:
The pressure in a gas developed due to the collisions between the gaseous molecules.

P =

where ρis 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

Which of the following statements is not true regarding the effect of increasing temperature on the
distribution of molecular motion in a gas?
2. The area under the distribution curve remains the same as below the lower temperature.
Option 4 : The fraction of molecules increases with the most possible speed.
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.

of a gas is

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

4. A small fraction of the molecule have either very high or either very low probable velocities
Option 2 : A small fraction of the molecule has either very high or very low velocities
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.

1. v/2
2. v
3. 2v
4. 4v
Option 2 : v
CONCEPT
Root Mean Square Speed is defined as the square root of the mean of squares of the speed of different

mass and temperature, and it is independent of pressure.
Therefore, if the pressure is doubled, by keeping the temperature same, then the root-mean-square speed of the
molecules of an enclosed gas will be v. Therefore option 2 is correct.

Option 4 : 1 ∶ 1
CONCEPT:
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.

From the above equation, it is clear that the average kinetic energy of the gas molecule is directly proportional

Relation between internal energy U and absolute temperature T of an ideal gas in kinetic theory of
gases, is :
2. U ∝ T2
3. U ∝ T
4. U ∝ √T
Option 3 : 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.
Therefore, U ∝ T.

How the temperature of a thermodynamic system can be increased without giving heat energy to the
system?
1. By isothermal compression
2. By isochoric expansion
3. By adiabatic expansion
4. By adiabatic compression
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
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
EXPLANATION:
ΔQ = 0
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.
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:
Isobaric changes: When a thermodynamic system undergoes a physical change in such a way that its

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.
