Q. Assertion If a gas container in motion is suddenly stopped, the temperature of the gas rises.
Reason The kinetic energy of ordered mechanical motion is converted into the kinetic energy of random motion of gas molecules.

Solution:

The motion of the container is known as the ordered motion of the gas and zig-zag motion of gas molecules within the container is called disordered motion. When the container suddenly stops, ordered kinetic energy gets converted into disordered kinetic energy which increases the temperature of the gas.
