Question

Match Column-I and Column-II and choose the correct match from the given choices.

Column-I (P) Root mean square speed of gas molecules (Q) The pressure exerted by an ideal gas (R) The average kinetic energy of a molecule (S) The total internal energy of a mole of a diatomic gas

Column-II (1) 13nmvˉ2\frac{1}{3}nm\bar{v}^2 (2) 3RTM\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}} (3) 52RT\frac{5}{2}RT (4) 32kBT\frac{3}{2}k_BT

A

P-1, Q-2, R-3, S-4

B

P-2, Q-1, R-4, S-3

C

P-3, Q-4, R-1, S-2

D

P-4, Q-3, R-2, S-1

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Root Mean Square Speed (vrmsv_{rms}): The formula for the RMS speed of an ideal gas is vrms=3RTMv_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}. Thus, (P) matches with (2).
  2. Pressure (PP): According to the kinetic theory, pressure is given by P=13nmvˉ2P = \frac{1}{3}nm\bar{v}^2, where nn is number density and mm is mass of a molecule. Thus, (Q) matches with (1).
  3. Average Kinetic Energy per Molecule (EE): The average translational kinetic energy per molecule depends only on temperature and is given by E=32kBTE = \frac{3}{2}k_BT. Thus, (R) matches with (4).
  4. Internal Energy of a Diatomic Gas (UU): A diatomic gas has 5 degrees of freedom (f=5f=5) at moderate temperatures (3 translational + 2 rotational). The internal energy per mole is U=f2RT=52RTU = \frac{f}{2}RT = \frac{5}{2}RT. Thus, (S) matches with (3).

Conclusion: P-2, Q-1, R-4, S-3.
