The number of wall impacts per second versus the square root of Kelvin temperature for 1 mol of an ideal gas at constant volume
Which graph represents the plot?
E) none of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of wall impacts per second is proportional to the square root of temperature for an ideal gas at constant volume. This relationship is given by the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. The graph in choice C shows a linear relationship between the square root of temperature and the number of wall impacts per second, which is consistent with the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. The other graphs do not show a clear linear relationship between these variables.
