Molecules of a gas are in a state of continuous motion 1. What is most probable speed? 2. Give the equation for average speed of molecules. |
|
Answer» 1. Most probable speed is the speed possessed by the maximum fraction of molecules of the gas at a given temperature. 2. If there are ‘n’ molecules in a sample and their individual speeds are u1 , u2 ……… un , then, average speed of molecules, uav is given by the equation: \(u_{av}=\frac{u_1+u2+...+u_n}{n}\) |
