The speed distribution of molecules in a...

The speed distribution of molecules in a sample of a gas is shown in the figure. The graph between `(dN)/(du)` and u is a parabola and total number of molecules in the sample is `N_(0)`.
(a) Calculate the rms speed of the molecules.
(b) Calculate the total translational kinetic energy of molecules if mass of the sample is 10 g.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(a) `v_(rms)=sqrt((3)/(10))xx100 m//s`
(b) `K_(T)=15 J`
