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.
