Assertion: A gas is kept in an insulated cylinder with a movable piston, in compressed state. As the piston is released, temperature of the gas decreases.
Reason: According to the kinetic theory of gas, a molecule colliding with the piston must rebound with less speed than it had before the collision. Hence average speed of the molecules is reduced.
Reason: According to the kinetic theory of gas, a molecule colliding with the piston must rebound with less speed than it had before the collision. Hence average speed of the molecules is reduced.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
The assertion and reason are both true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion because the gas does work on the piston, reducing the average speed of the molecules and thus the temperature.
