According to Maxwell's distribution law, the fraction of molecules per unit change in speed [velocity distribution function, f(c)], traveling with speeds from C to C + dC, is:
f(c) = (1/dC)·(dN/N) = 4π·(M / 2πRT)3/2·C²·e(-MC²/2RT). (R = 8.0 J/K-mol, ln 2 = 0.7)
On increasing the molecular mass of a gaseous sample at constant temperature, the fraction of molecules having speed equal to the most probable speed at that molecular mass
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
f(cₘₚ) = 4/e√(M/2π RT) ∝ √(M) at fixed T: a heavier gas has a taller, sharper peak, so the fraction at the most probable speed increases. Hence Ans (a).
