Explain effect of mass of molecule from ...

Explain effect of mass of molecule from the basis of Maxwell - Boltzman speed distribution.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

At fixed temperature speed of heavy molecules less than speed of light molecules.
For example, speed of `N_(2)` gas is more than speed of `Cl_(2)` gas. (Mass of `N_(2)= 28 mu`) and (Mass of `Cl_(2)=71 mu`)
Speed of `N_(2)gt` Speed of `Cl_(2)` .... (consdtant T)
`u_(mp) N_(2)gt u_(mp)Cl_(2)` .......(constant T)
where, `u_(mp)=` Most probable speed
`= (("maximum speed of"),("maximum molecules"))`
Value if most Probable speed of `N_(2)` is more than value of most probable speed of `u_(2)`.
Speed distribution curve of `N_(2)` and `Cl_(2)` is given in below figure.

A vessel is partitioned in two equal halves by a fixed diathermic separator. Two different ideal gases ae filled in left (L) and right (R) halves the rms speed of the molecules in L part is equal to the mean speed of moleucles in the R equal to the ratio of the mass of a molecules in L part to that of a molecules in R part is

Two uniform solid spheres of equal radii R, but mass M and 4 M have a center to centre separation 6 R, as shown in figure. The two spheres are held fixed. A projectile of mass m is projected from the surface of the sphere of mass M directly towards the centre of the second sphere. Obtain an expression for the minimum speed v of the projectile so that it reaches the surface of the second sphere.
