Physics-Ideal Gas Equation

NEET Physics Ideal Gas Equation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-fact-Medium-Class 11

What is the relationship between pressure (P), number density (n), and mean squared speed (v) of molecules in an ideal gas as derived from the kinetic theory?

A

P = (1/3) n m v^2

B

P = 3(n m v^2)

C

P = (1/2) n m v^2

D

P = n m v^3

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The relationship is given by the equation P = (1/3) n m v^2, where n is the number density and v is the mean speed of the molecules. This is derived from the kinetic theory of gases as stated in the NCERT context.
