As per kinetic theory of gases which of the following statement(s) is/are true?
I. Temperature of a gas is a measure of average kinetic energy of a molecule.
II. Temperature of a gas depends on the nature of the gas.
III. Heavier molecule has lower average speed.
IV. Lighter molecule has lower average speed.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C

RMS speed of gas 
,
Molar mass
As 
increases 
decreases.
