24: Kinetic Theory of Gases
- #8Suppose a container is evacuated to leave just one molecule of a gas in it. Let va and vrms represent the average speed and the rms speed of the gas.
(a) va > vrms
(b) va < vrms
(c) va = vrms
(d) vrms is undefined.digAnsr: cAns : Speed is constant and same for a single molecule. Thus, rms speed will be equal to its average speed.
Thus,
(c) is the correct answer.
