 MCQ type Question [ +4 , -1]

Which of the following statement is not according to the

postulates of kinetic theory of gases.-

A. Gas molecules are of small size

B. Gas molecules are always in motion

with all possible velocities

C. There is no force between the

molecules

D. None of these
Assumptions of KTG
Molecules move in all direction randomly

Molecules do not exert any appreciable force

on one another or on the walls of the container
except during collision
 MCQ type Question [ +4 , -1]

The gas molecules are not accumulated at the bottom of

the container because -

A. These do not have gravitation force between them

B. Molecules have less mass and high velocities and

therefore no gravitational force

C. The direction of motion of molecules is changing on

account of collisions.
D. These is cohesive force between the gas molecules
and the wall of the container acting in all direction.
 MCQ type Question [ +4 , -1]

Gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container because

the molecules are –

A. Colliding with each other and exchanging

momenta.
B. Colliding with the walls of the container and
transferring energy to the walls

C. Colliding with the walls and transferring

momentum to the walls of the container.

D. Accelerated towards the walls.

Pressure of an Ideal Gas

Pressure exerted by a gas is due to

collisions of gas molecules on the walls of container.

 MCQ type Question [ +4 , -1]

In a cubical box of volume V, there are N molecules of

a gas moving randomly. If m is mass of each molecule
and v2 is the mean square of x component of the
velocity of molecules, then the pressure of the gas is –

A. B.

C. D.
Pressure of an Ideal Gas

P = ⅓ ρv2rms

M = nm = mass of the gas

so nm/V = ρ = density of gas.

Root Mean Square Speed

M: total mass of gas

M0: molar mass of gas

 MCQ type Question [ +4 , -1]

The root-mean-square speed of the molecules of a gas enclosed

in a vessel is v. If the pressure is doubled while the temperature
remains the same, the root-mean-square speed will be -

A. v/2

B. v

C. 2 v

D. 4 v
 MCQ type Question [ +4 , -1]

Two containers are of equal volume. One contains O2 while

the other has H2. Both are kept at same temperature.
The ratio of their pressure will be (rms velocity of these
gases have ratio as 1 : 4) for 1 mole of each gas -

A. 1:1

B. 1:4

C. 1:8

D. 1:2
 MCQ type Question [ +4 , -1]

The value of rotational K.E. at temperature T of one

gram molecule of a diatomic gas will be

A. RT

B. 3RT/2

C. 5RT

D. RT/2
 MCQ type Question [ +4 , -1]

The kinetic energy of rotation of diatomic gas at 27°C will

be (k = 1.38 x 10-23Joule/k)

A. 2.07 x 10-21 Joule/molecule

B. 4.14 x 10-21 Joule/molecule

C. 6.14 x 10-23 Joule/molecule

D. 3.07 x 10-23 Joule/molecule

 MCQ type Question [ +4 , -1]

CO2 (O–C–O) is a triatomic gas. Mean kinetic energy of one

gram gas will be – (If N - Avogadro number, k - Boltzmann
constant and molecular weight of CO2 = 44) –

A. 3/88 NkT

B. 5/88 NkT

C. 6/88 NkT

D. 7/88 NkT
