Question
A vessel of volume V contains a mixture of 1 mole of Hydrogen and 1 mole of Oxygen (both considered as ideal). Let f1(v)dv, denote the fraction of molecules with speed between v and (v + dv) with f2(v)dv, similarly for oxygen. Then ______.
Options
f1(v) + f2(v) = f(v) obeys the Maxwell’s distribution law.
f1(v), f2(v) will obey the Maxwell’s distribution law separately.
Neither f1(v), nor f2(v) will obey the Maxwell’s distribution law.
f2(v) and f1(v) will be the same.
Solution
A vessel of volume V contains a mixture of 1 mole of Hydrogen and 1 mole of Oxygen (both considered as ideal). Let f1(v)dv, denote the fraction of molecules with speed between v and (v + dv) with f2(v)dv, similarly for oxygen. Then f1(v), f2(v) will obey the Maxwell’s distribution law separately..
Explanation:
For a function f(v), the number of molecules n = f(v), which are having speeds between v and v + dv.
For each function f1(v) and f2(v), n will be different. hence each function f1(v) and f2(v) will obey Maxwell's distribution law separately.
