Analyzing +4 | -1

Assertion:

{V}_{\mathrm{rms}}

and

{V}_{\mathrm{mean}}

of gaseous molecules is nearly of the order of velocity of sound.
Reason: The sound travels in air because of vibrational molecular motion.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

Option B is correct because both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. RMS and mean speeds are of the order of sound speed, but sound travels due to pressure variations, not vibrational motion.

The absolute zero is the temperature at which The internal energy

\left( U \right)

\left( p \right)

\left( V \right)

of an ideal gas are related as

U = 3pV + 4

. If the pressure of the gas as a function of time if the temperature of the surrounding air is

T_{\mathrm{s}}

\frac{T_0}{T_0}\left[T_s-\left(\mathrm{T}_s-T_0\right)_e \frac{-Z k A}{3 x R} t\right]

. Find the value of

z

. All temperatures are in absolute scale. Assertion: The change in air pressure effect the speed of sound.
Reason: The speed of sound in a gas is proportional to the square of pressure. The rms speed of oxygen molecule in a vessel at particular temperature is

\left(1+\frac{\gamma}{28}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} v,

v

is the average speed of the molecule. The value of

V

is given by the equation

\frac{{dp}}{{dV}}\, = \, - ap.

p\, = \,{p_0}

V\, = \,0

is the given boundary condition, then the maximum temperature one mole of gas can attain is (Here
