1.

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:

\(u_{av}=\frac{u_1+u2+...+u_n}{n}\)
