The molecular velocity of a real gas is proportional to (where, T = absolute temperature of the gas)?

Correct answer: A. √T

  • A. √T
  • B. T
  • C. T2
  • D. 1/√T

Explanation

From kinetic theory, the characteristic molecular speed varies as the square root of absolute temperature, v ∝ √T. The same temperature dependence is used for ideal-gas molecular velocity estimates.
