What will happen if the collisions of the gas molecules with each otherr are not perfectly elastic?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In case of inelastic collisions, the total kinetic energy of ga molecules decreases, leading to a decrease in molecular speeds. As a result, the gas molecules will gradually settle down at the bottom of the container, thereby causing the pressure of the gas to go on decreasing gradually. a time will come when the pressure of the gas will come reduce to zero.
