Which one of the following statements is not true about the effect of an increase in temperature on States of Matter and Gaseous State Chemistry Question

Question

Which one of the following statements is not true about the effect of an increase in temperature on the distribution of molecular speeds in a gas?

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

We know that, speed T Most probable speed= 2RT/M Average speed= 8RT/πM Root mean square speed 3 / RT M The distribution curve becomes broader. The fraction of molecule decreases when the most probable speed increases. But the area under the curve remains same. Therefore, C is incorrect.
