The relationship between pressure (P) of...

The relationship between pressure (P) of the gas and average translational kinetic energy per unit volume (E) for a diatomic gas is:

A

`P = 2/5 E`

B

`P = 3/2 E`

C

`P = E`

D

`P = 2/3 E`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`KE = 3/2 nRT = 3/2 PV implies P = 2/3 (KE)/(V) = 2/3E`
