Prove that the pressure of an ideal gas ...

Prove that the pressure of an ideal gas is numerically equal to two third of the mean translational kinetic energy per unit volume of the gas.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Translational (KE) per unit volume
` E = 1/2 ("mass per unit volume") (v barr ^2)`
=` 1/2 (rho) ((3 p)/ rho) = 3/2 p`
or `p = 2/3 E`.
