KCET · Physics · Kinetic Theory of Gases
Pressure of ideal gas at constant volume is proportional to
- A force between the molecules
- B average potential energy of the molecules
- C total energy of the gas
- D average kinetic energy of the molecules
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) average kinetic energy of the molecules
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Gay Lussac's law states that the pressure of a
fixed mass of a gas at constant volume is directly proportional to the temperature.
i.e. \(p \propto T\)
or
\(p \propto \frac{1}{2} K_B T\)
Since kinetic energy of the molecules is directly proportional to the temperature.
