Question

A gas container observes Maxwellian distribution law of speed. If the number of molecules between the speed 5.0 and 5.1 km per sec at 298 K is N, what would be number of molecules between this range of speed if the total number of molecules in the vessel are doubled?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The Maxwell distribution gives the constant probability fraction of molecules in a certain speed range. If the total number of molecules is doubled, then the actual count of molecules in that speed range also doubles to 2N .
