Which one of the following statements is not correct about the effect of an increase in temperature of the distribution of molecular speeds in a gas
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Distribution of molecules ( N ) with velocity (t)) at two temperatures 
and 
is as shown below:
At both temperatures, distribution of molecules with increase in velocity reaches a maximum value and then decreases. Thus, on increasing the temperature, the fraction of the molecules with the most probable speed increases
