According to kinetic theory of gases, for a diatomic molecule

The pressure exerted by the gas is proportional to the mean velocity of the molecules

The pressure exerted by the gas is proportional to the root mean square velocity of the molecules

The root mean square velocity is inversely proportional to the temperature

The mean translational kinetic energy of the molecules is proportional to the absolute temperature

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

All molecules of an ideal gas show random motion. They collide with each other and walls of container during which they lose or gain energy so they may not have same kinetic energy always.
