The rms speed of oxygen molecule at a certain temperature is 600 ~ms ⁻¹ . If the temperature is doubled and oxygen molecule dissociates into atomic oxygen atoms, the new rms speed is
Options
- A120 ~ms ⁻¹
- B150 ~ms ⁻¹
- C1200 ~ms ⁻¹
- D600 ~ms ⁻¹
Correct answer
C. 1200 ~ms ⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
v_ rms = 3 R T M Given, at temperature T₁ , At temperature, T₂=2 T₁ , due to dissociation Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we get v 600 =2 v=1200 ~ms ⁻¹
