By how many folds the temperature of a gas would increase when the root mean square velocity of the gas molecules in a container of fixed volume is increased from 5 10^4 ~cm / s to 10 10^4 ~cm / s ?
Options
- ATwo
- BThree
- CSix
- DFour
Correct answer
D. Four
Step-by-step solution
r.m.s. velocity V _ rms = 3 R T M i.e., V ₁ ~V ₂ = T ₁ ~T ₂ 5 10^4 10 10^4 = 1 2 = T ₁ ~T ₂ T ₂=4 T ₁
