The average force applied on the walls of a closed container depends on \(\mathrm{T}^{\mathrm{x}}\) where \(\mathrm{T}\) is the temperature of an ideal gas. The value of ' \(x\) ' is

  1. A \(4\)
  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1\)

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 \(\mathrm{V}\) remains constant,
\(\mathrm{P} \propto \mathrm{T}.... (ii)\)
Comparing (i) and (ii)
\(\mathrm{F} \propto \mathrm{T}^{\mathrm{x}}\)
\(\therefore \quad x=1\)
