Question

Conclusion of Maxwell boltzman experiment on distribution of molecular speed of ideal gas

Answer 1

Answer:

ln any gas, the molecules randomly collide against each other. So the velocity of an individual gas molecule changes continuously. At any instant, the speed of the molecules vary over a wide range. However, the velocity distribution remain fixed in a steady state. James clerk Maxwell was the first to derive the mathematical relation for the most probable distribution speed among the molecules of gas
