The average momentum for the molecules of an ideal gas at equilibrium state will be

The average momentum for the molecules of an ideal gas at equilibrium state will be Correct Answer zero

Concept:

Kinetic theory of gases-

  • The kinetic theory of gases is a theoretical model that describes-
  • the molecular composition of the gas in terms of a large number of identical tiny particles called molecules. 
  • Further, this theory explains that gas pressure arises due to particles colliding with each other and the walls of the container.
  • The kinetic theory of gases also defines thermodynamic variables such as temperature,
  • viscosity, and thermal conductivity, and all these properties are related to the microscopic phenomenon.


Explanation:

According to postulates of the kinetic theory of gas,

The average velocity of the molecules of an ideal gas is zero as they possess all the possible directions.

So, their vector sum is zero at a given temperature.

Therefore the average linear momentum will also be zero.

Hence, option-1 is correct

  • In the year (1822–88) Rudolph Clausius, the kinetic theory of gases was developed in order to explain gas laws in terms of the motion of the gas molecules.
  • Later in (1831–75) James Clark Maxwell developed the modified kinetic theory of gases by assuming some modifications on ideal gas behavior.
  • The theory is based on the following assumptions as regards the motion of molecules and the nature of the gases.

Questions below followed by three quantities. Find the relationship between them. Quantity I: In a class with a certain number of students if a teacher weighing 78 kg is added, then average weight of class is increased by 2 kg. If one more teacher weighing 66 kg is added, then the average weight of the class increases by 3.5 kg over the original average. What is the original average weight (in kg) of the class? Quantity II: The average age of 16 students and their teacher's age is 16 years. If the teacher's age is excluded, the average reduces by 2. What is the teacher's age? Quantity III: Average weight of three friends A, B and C is 46 kg. Another person D joins the group and now the average is 45 kg. If another person E whose weight is 6 kg more than D, joins the group replacing A, then average weight of B, C, D and E becomes 47 kg. What is the weight of A (in kg)?
