Which of the following statement(s) (are) correct regarding the root mean square speed U r m s and average translational kinetic energy ε a v of a molecule in a gas at equilibrium?
Options
- AU r m s is doubled when its temperature is increased four times
- Bε a v at a given temperature does not depend on its molecular mass
- CU r m s is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass
- Dε a v is doubled when its temperature is increased four times
Correct answer
A. U r m s is doubled when its temperature is increased four times
Step-by-step solution
U rms = 3RT M , E av = 3 2 RT If temperature is made 4 times, U rms between twice. Avg. kinetic energy ( F av ) is independent of molecular man at a given temperature, U rms inversely proportional to the square not of molecular mass.
