Which one of the following is true about the effect of increase in temperature on the distribution of molecular speeds in a gas?

Answer»

the area under the DISTRIBUTION CURVE remains the same as that under lower temperature 
the distribution becomes broader 
the FRACTION of the molecules with most probable speed increases 
the most probable speed of the molecules increases 

Solution :Area under curve = no. of molecules and remains same
The graph becomes broader as AVERAGE KE `uarr`
`U_(mp) uarr` but fraction corresponding to it `DARR`.
