The root mean square velocity of molecules of gas is
Options
- AProportional to square of temperature ( T 2 ).
- BInversely proportional to square root of temperature ( 1 T ).
- CProportional to square root of temperature T .
- DProportional to temperature ( T ) .
Correct answer
C. Proportional to square root of temperature T .
Step-by-step solution
Root mean speed of a gas molecule is stated as v rms = 3 R T M , where, R is the universal gas constant, T is temperature, and M is the molar mass of the gas. Thus, v rms ∝ T .
