Q6 / 90 · JEE Main 2013 (25 Apr Online) · Chemistry

Which one of the following is the wrong assumption of kinetic theory of gases ?

  • A
    Momentum and energy always remain conserved.
  • B
    Pressure is the result of elastic collision of molecules with the container's wall.
  • C
    Molecules are separated by great distances compared to their sizes.
  • Correct answer
    D
    All the molecules move in straight line between collision and with same velocity.

Solution

Molecules move very fast in all directions in a straight line by colliding with each other but with different velocity.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
