Let `barv,v_(rms) and v_p` respectively denote the mean speed. Root mean square speed, and most probable speed of the molecules in an ideal monoatomic gas at absolute temperature T. The mass of a molecule is m. Then

A

no molecule can have speed greaer than `v_(rms)`

B

no molecule can have sped less than `(v_(P))/(sqrt(2))`

C

`v_(P)ltbarv lt v_(rms)`

D

the average kinetic energy of molecle is `3/4 mv_(p)^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`v_(rms)=sqrt((3RT)/M)` and
`barv=sqrt((8RT)/(piM))=sqrt(2.55 (RT)/M)`
`v_(P)=sqrt((2RT)/M)`
Hence c and d are correct.
