The following graph is obtained for a gas at different temperatures \(\left(\mathrm{T}_1, \mathrm{~T}_2, \mathrm{~T}_3\right)\). What is the correct order of temperature \((x\)-axis \(=\) velocity; \(y\)-axis \(=\) number of molecules)

  1. A \(\mathrm{T}_2 \gt \mathrm{T}_1 \gt \mathrm{T}_3\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{T}_2 \gt \mathrm{T}_3 \gt \mathrm{T}_1\)
  3. C \(T_3 \gt T_1 \gt T_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{T}_3 \gt \mathrm{T}_2 \gt \mathrm{T}_1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{T}_2 \gt \mathrm{T}_1 \gt \mathrm{T}_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Maxwell - Boltzmann distribution of molecular speeds, \(T_2 \gt T_1 \gt T_3\).
