Question

According to kinetic theory of gases, I. Collision are always elastic. II. Heavier molecules transfer more momentum to the wall of container. III. Only a small number of molecules have very high velocity. IV. Between collision, the molecules move in straight lines with constant velocities. Identify the correct statements.

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. All statements are correct. According to kinetic theory of gases collisions are perfectly elastic. Heavier Gaseous State 14 molecules transfer more momentum to the wall of container. Only a small number of molecules have very high velocity due to high kinetic energy. Between collision, the molecules move in straight lines with constant velocities.
