Select the incorrect statement about Maxwell's speed distribution curve.

(1) The distribution function depends only on the absolute temperature.

(2) vrms>vav>vmp

(3) The area under the distribution curve gives the total number of molecules of the gas.

(4) The distribution curve is symmetric about the most probable speed.

A vessel of volume V contains a mixture of 1 mole of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen (both considered ideal). Let f1(v)dv denotes the fraction of molecules with a speed between v and (v+dv) with f2(v)dv similarly for oxygen. Then,

1. f1(v)+f2(v) = f(v) obeys the Maxwell's distribution law.

2. f1(v),f2(v) will obey Maxwell’s distribution law separately.

3. neither f1(v) nor f2(v) will obey Maxwell’s distribution law.

4. f2(v) and f1(v) will be the same.
