Question

Which of the following is not correct in relevance to Maxwell's Distribution curve?

• A. On increasing the temperature, the fraction of molecules having lower speed (range) increases
• B. Majority of molecules have speed almost equal to most probable speed
• C. Speed distribution also depends on the molar mass of the gas
• D. Total area under the curve is a measure of the total number of molecules

Answer 1

The correct option is A On increasing the temperature, the fraction of molecules having lower speed (range) increases

$T\infty$ Fraction of molecule in higher speed range
