JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 12 . kinetic theory of gases

The mean free path of molecules of a certain gas at \(STP\) is \(1500\,d\), where \(d\) is the diameter of the gas molecules. While maintaining the standard pressure, the mean free path of the molecules at \(373\,K\) is approximately \(..........\,d\)

  1. A \(1098\)
  2. B \(2049\)
  3. C \(750\)
  4. D \(1500\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2049\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mean free path \(\lambda=\frac{ RT }{\sqrt{2} \pi d ^2 N _{ A } P }\) \(\lambda \propto T\) \(\frac{1500 d }{\lambda}=\frac{273}{373}\) \(\lambda=2049\,d\)
