Question:
If the pressure in a closed vessel is reduced by drawingbut some gas, the mean free path of the molecules
If the pressure in a closed vessel is reduced by drawingbut some gas, the mean free path of the molecules
Updated On: Jul 6, 2022
- Decreases
- increases.
- Remains unchanged
- Increases or decreases according to the nature of the gas
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The mean-free path of molecule is the distance traveled by a molecule in two consecutive collision. If pressure is reduced and there are less particle then a molecule will travel longer distance before collision, so mean free path is increased.

- The equation for the RMS velocity is given as \[ v_{\text{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M_0}} \] where \( R \) is the gas constant, \( T \) is the temperature, and \( M_0 \) is the molecular mass. If the temperature is increased, find the new RMS velocity \( v_{\text{rms}} \) when the temperature is doubled.}
