A diatomic gas consisting of rigid molecules is at a temperature of 87°C87 ° C. If the moment of inertia of the rotating diatomic rigid molecule is 2.76×10−39gcm22 . 76 \times {10}^{- 39}{gcm}^{2} then the rms~angular speed of the molecule is ((Boltzmann constant =1.38×10−23JK−1= 1 . 38 \times {10}^{- 23}{JK}^{- 1})

Options

  1. A6×1012rads−16 \times {10}^{12}{rads}^{- 1}
  2. B3×1012rads−13 \times {10}^{12}{rads}^{- 1}
  3. C6×1013rads−16 \times {10}^{13}{rads}^{- 1}
  4. D3×1013rads−13 \times {10}^{13}{rads}^{- 1}

Correct answer

A. 6×1012rads−16 \times {10}^{12}{rads}^{- 1}

Step-by-step solution

Recall the formula of the kinetic energy of one molecule in terms of Boltzmann constant and absolute temperature,

K.E.=12KTK . E . = \dfrac{1}{2}KT, for two rigid molecules, it will be,

K.E.=2×12KT=KTK . E . = 2 \times \dfrac{1}{2}KT = KT, if~II~is~a moment of inertia of body and~ω\omega~is the angular velocity then,

KT=12Iω2⇒ω=2KTI=2×1.38×10−23(87+273)2.76×10−39×10−7=6×1012rads−1KT = \dfrac{1}{2}I{ω}^{2} ⇒ \omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{2KT}{I}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times 1 . 38 \times {10}^{- 23}\left(87 + 273\right)}{2 . 76 \times {10}^{- 39} \times {10}^{- 7}}} = 6 \times {10}^{12}rads^{- 1}
