  • MCQ

The number density of molecules of a gas depends on their distance \(r\) from the origin as, \(n\left( r \right) = {n_0}{e^{ - \alpha {r^4}}}\). Then the total number of molecules is proportional to

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \({n_0}{\alpha ^{ - 3/4}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given number density of molecules of gas as a function of \(r\) is

\(n(r)=n_{0} e^{-a r^{4}}\)

Total number of molecule \(=\int_{0}^{\infty} n(r) \mathrm{d} V=\int_{0}^{\infty} n_{0} e^{-\alpha x^{4}} 4 \pi r^{2} d r\)

Number of molecules is proportional to \(\mathrm{n}_{0} \alpha^{-3 / 4}\)
