The quantity \(\frac{pV}{kT}\), represents
The quantity \(\frac{pV}{kT}\), represents Correct Answer Number of molecules
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:
From the ideal gas equation, we have-
PV = nRT ...(i)
Multiplying and dividing RHS of equation (i) by NA
⇒ PV = nNA (R/NA) T
Where
NA = Avagadro number(6.023 × 1023) &
N (Number of molecules) = nNA
⇒ PV = NKT
⇒ N = PV/kT
Hence, option-4 is correct
Postulates of the kinetic theory of gases:
- All gases are consist of a collection of a large number of tiny identical particles called molecules.
- The volume of gas molecules is negligible as compared to the volume of the container.
- So the volume of gas = volume of the container (Except 0 K)
- There are no intermolecular forces that act between gas molecules.
- Due to the absence of any interactions between molecules the Potential energy of ideal gas is zero.
- So internal energy of ideal gas is perfectly translational K.E. of gas.
- It is directly proportional to absolute temperature.
- The internal energy depends only and only on its temperature.
