JEE Main & Advanced Physics Kinetic Theory of Gases Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Kinetic Theory

  • question_answer
    The quantity of gas in a closed vessel is halved and the velocities of its molecules are doubled. The final pressure of the gas will be

    A) P

    B) 2P   

    C) P/2

    D) 4P

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[{{v}_{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3P}{\rho }}=\sqrt{\frac{3PV}{m}}\Rightarrow P=\frac{m\,{{({{v}_{rms}})}^{2}}}{3V}\] If P' be the final pressure then \[\frac{P'}{P}=\left[ \frac{\frac{\frac{m}{2}{{\left( 2{{v}_{rms}} \right)}^{2}}}{3V}}{\frac{m{{\left( {{v}_{rms}} \right)}^{2}}}{3V}} \right]=2\Rightarrow P'=2P.\]
