a) 120 K
b) 240 K
c) 480 K
d) 1120 K

Answer: c
Explanation:
q152

3. If the pressure in a closed vessel is reduced by drawing out some gas, the mean free path of the molecules
a) Is decreased
b) Is increased
c) Remains unchanged
d) Increases or decreases according to the nature of the gas

Answer: b
Explanation: If the pressure in a closed vessel is reduced by drawing out some gas, the mean free path of the molecules is increased

4. At constant volume, temperature is increased. Then
a) Collision on walls will be less
b) Number of collisions per unit time will increase
c) Collisions will be in straight lines
d) Collisions will not change

Answer: b
Explanation: At constant volume, temperature is increased. Then, Number of collisions per unit time will increase
