On increasing the molecular mass of gaseous sample at constant temperature, the fraction of molecule β States of Matter and Gaseous State Chemistry Question
Question
On increasing the molecular mass of gaseous sample at constant temperature, the fraction of molecules having speed equal to most probable speed at that molecular mass
Answer: A
π‘ Solution & Explanation
Increasing the molecular mass M has the opposite effect of increasing temperature. It makes the distribution narrower and taller, thereby increasing the peak height (fraction at most probable speed).
