The average force applied on the wall of a closed container depends as \(\mathrm{T}^{\mathrm{X}}\) where T is the temperature of an ideal gas. The value of \(x\) is

  1. A 0.5
  2. B 1
  3. C 2
  4. D 1.5
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& P=\frac{F}{A} \\
\therefore \quad & P \propto F...(i)
\end{aligned}\)
From ideal gas equation,
\(\mathrm{P}=\frac{\mathrm{nRT}}{\mathrm{~V}}\)
When V remains constant,
\(P \propto T...(ii)\)
From (i) and (ii)
\(\begin{aligned}
& F \propto \mathrm{~T}^{\mathrm{x}} \\
\therefore \quad & \mathrm{x}=1
\end{aligned}\)
