Chapter 10: Problem 40

The number of degrees of freedom for each atom of a monoatomic gas is (A) 3 (B) 5 (C) 6 (D) 1

Short Answer

Expert verified
The number of degrees of freedom for each atom of a monoatomic gas is 3, as each atom can move independently in three perpendicular directions (x, y, and z-axis). Therefore, the correct option is (A).

Step by step solution

01

Recalling the concept of degrees of freedom for a monoatomic gas

In a monoatomic gas, each atom can move independently in the three perpendicular directions (x, y, and z-axis). These three independent motions are the degrees of freedom for these gases.
02

Matching the answer with the given options

From our understanding of the degrees of freedom for a monoatomic gas, we know that each atom has 3 degrees of freedom. Now, let's compare our conclusion with the given options: (A) 3 (B) 5 (C) 6 (D) 1 Since these are single-choice questions, only one of these options should be correct. Our conclusion matches with option (A).
03

Conclusion

The number of degrees of freedom for each atom of a monoatomic gas is 3, which is option (A).

(B) The pressure on all the faces will be equal. (C) The pressure of \(E F G H\) would be double the pressure on \(A B C D\). (D) The pressure of \(E F G H\) would be half that on \(A B C D .\)

We have a jar \(A\) filled with gas characterized by parameters \(P, V\), and \(T\) and another jar \(B\) filled with gas with parameters \(2 P, V / 4\), and \(2 T\), where the symbols have their usual meanings.

Mark the correct options (A) A system \(X\) is in thermal equilibrium with \(Y\) but not with \(Z\). The system \(Y\) and \(Z\) may be in thermal equilibrium with each other. (B) A system \(X\) is in thermal equilibrium with \(Y\) but not with \(Z\). The system \(Y\) and \(Z\) are not in thermal equilibrium with each other. (C) A system \(X\) is neither in thermal equilibrium with \(Y\) nor with \(Z\). The systems \(Y\) and \(Z\) must be in thermal equilibrium with each other. (D) A system \(X\) is neither in thermal equilibrium with \(Y\) nor with \(Z\). The systems \(Y\) and \(Z\) may be in thermal equilibrium with each other.
