Heat and Thermodynamics question

2024 · 31 Jan · Shift 1 · Q67

JEE MainPhysicsHeat and ThermodynamicsMCQ+4 / −1
The parameter that remains the same for molecules of all gases at a given temperature is :
  1. A
    kinetic energy
  2. B
    mass
  3. C
    momentum
  4. D
    speed
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: A

  1. Use kinetic theory of gases

    For any ideal gas molecule, the average translational kinetic energy at temperature TTT is K‾=32kT,\overline{K} = \frac{3}{2}kT,K=23​kT, where kkk is Boltzmann's constant.

  2. What depends only on temperature?

    From the formula above, K‾\overline{K}K depends only on TTT, not on the nature of the gas.

    So, for molecules of all gases at the same temperature, the quantity that remains the same is the average kinetic energy.

  3. Check other options

    • B: mass — Different gases have different molecular masses, so this is not same.
    • C: momentum — Momentum depends on mass and speed, so it is not same for all gases.
    • D: speed — From vrms=3kTm,v_{\text{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{m}},vrms​=m3kT​​, speed depends on molecular mass mmm, so different gases have different speeds at the same temperature.
  4. Conclusion

    The correct option is: A: kinetic energy\boxed{\text{A: kinetic energy}}A: kinetic energy​
