If the mean free path of atoms is doubled then the pressure of the gas will become:
1. \(P/4\)
2. \(P/2\)
3. \(P/8\)
4. \(P\)
The mean free path of molecules of a gas, (radius r) is inversely proportional to :
(1) r3
(2) r2
(3) r
(4) √r
If the pressure in a closed vessel is reduced by drawing out some gas, the mean free path of the molecules:
1. | decreases |
2. | increases |
3. | remains unchanged |
4. | increases or decreases according to the nature of the gas |
Assertion: At a particular temperature, the value of the mean free path increases with a decrease in pressure.
Reason: All the gas molecules at a particular temperature possess the same speed.
