Question

A graph of Maxwell distribution of molecular velocities is plotted below.

Correct order of temperature

• A. $T _{1}> T _{2}> T _{3}$
• B. $T _{1} < T _{2} < T _{3}$
• C. $T _{1}= T _{2}> T _{3}$
• D. $T_{1}=T_{2}=T_{3}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

As temperature increases, most probable velocity also increases, although fraction of molecules having most probable velocity decreases.
$\therefore T_3 > T_2 > T_1$
