Given below are two statements:
Statement I :The average momentum of a molecule in a sample of an ideal gas depends on temperature.
Statement II : The rms speed of oxygen molecules in a gas is . If the temperature is doubled and the oxygen molecules dissociate into oxygen atoms, the rms speed will become .
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer
D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Step-by-step solution
Momentum is a vector quantity and average momentum of molecules of a sample is zero due to random motion.
RMS speed of a molecule is given by
Now the temperature is doubled and due to dissociation .
