Q. If gas molecules undergo in elastic collision with the walls of the container, then

BHUBHU 2011

Solution:

Usually, temperature of gas in a container is same as the temperature of the walls of the container. Therefore, during collision there is no exchange of energy. Hence, whether collision is elastic or inelastic molecules rebounce with average speed. Therefore, neither the temperature nor the pressure will change.
