Q13.7Multiple choice
A vessel of volume V contains a mixture of 1 mole of Hydrogen and 1 mole of Oxygen (both considered as ideal). Let f1(v)dv, denote the fraction of molecules with speed between v and (v + dv) with f2 (v)dv, similarly for oxygen. Then
- (a)f1 (v ) + f 2 (v ) = f (v ) obeys the Maxwell’s distribution law.
- (b)f1(v), f2 (v) will obey the Maxwell’s distribution law separately.
- (c)Neither f1 (v), nor f2 (v) will obey the Maxwell’s distribution law.
- (d)f2 (v) and f1 (v) will be the same.
