1.	Which one of the following statements is not true about the effect of an increase in temperature on the distribution of molecular speeds in a gas?
Answer» The AREA under the distribution curve REMAINS the same as under the lower temperature. The distribution BECOMES broader. The fraction of the molecules with the most probable speed increases. The most probable speed increases. Solution :The MAXWELL distribution curves for a gas at two temperatures `T_1 and T_2 (T_2gt T_1)` are SHOWN below. Obviously, the fraction of the molecules with the most probable speed decreases, whereas, most probable speed increases.
