A vessel of volume V contains a mixture of 1 mole of hydrogen and 1 mole oxygen (both considered as ideal). Let `f_(1)(v) dv,` denote the fraction of molecules with speed between v and (v+ dv) with `f_(2)(v)dv`, similarly for oxygen . Then ,

Options

A. `f_(1) (upsilon)+f_(2)(upsilon)=f(upsilon)` obeys the Maxwell's distribution law.
B. `f_(1) (upsilon), f_(2)(upsilon)` will obey the maxwell's distribution law seperately.
C. Neither `f_(1)(upsilon)`, nor `f_(2)(upsilon)` will obey the Maxwell's distribution law.
D. `f_(2)(upsilon)` and `f_(1)(upsilon)` will be the same.

Answer

B

Explanation

As the vessel contains 1 mole of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen , therefore, as per Maxwell's law of speed distribution, `f_(1)(upsilon)` and `f_(2)(upsilon)` will obey the law separately.
