A gas is kept in a rigid container. If the average translational kinetic energy of its molecules is increased by , the percentage increase in the pressure of the gas is:
- A.
- B.Correct answer
- C.
- D.
Solution
The pressure of an ideal gas is given by , where is the total translational kinetic energy per unit volume. Since the volume of the rigid container is constant, pressure is directly proportional to the kinetic energy of the molecules. Therefore, a increase in kinetic energy leads to a increase in pressure.
