Q.
Assertion :The root mean square and most probable speeds of the molecules in a gas are the same. Reason: The Maxwell distribution for the speed of molecules in a gas is symmetrical.
Q.
Assertion :In Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of speeds, the curve broadens at higher temperature. Reason: At a particular temperature, the individual speed of molecules as well as the distribution of speeds remains the same.
Q.
Assertion :All molecules in a gas are moving with same speed. Reason: Speed of molecules in a gas follows Maxwell's distribution law.
Q.
The gas molecules randomly move in all directions and collide with each other and with the wall of the container. It is difficult to determine the speed of an individual molecule but it has become possible to work out the distribution of molecules among different molecular speeds. This is known as Maxwell Boltzmann distribution.
