Statement 1: On increasing the temperature, the fraction of molecules possessing most probable speed increases.
Statement 2: On increasing the temperature, the most probable speed of a gas increases.
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
vmp = √(2RT/M) rises with T, so Statement 2 is correct. But raising T broadens and flattens the Maxwell-Boltzmann curve: the peak height falls, so the fraction of molecules having the most probable speed decreases, not increases — Statement 1 is incorrect. Ans: (d).
