What would have happened to the pressure of a gas if the collisions of its molecules had not been elastic?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

There might have been decrease in the kinetic energy during the collisions because energy is likely to decrease in each collision under the circumstance. Since the collisions are very frequent, the energy of the molecules might have considerably decreased and ultimately the gas molecules might have come to rest.
