JIPMER2016PhysicsKinetic Theory of Gases
The temperature of a gas is raised from 27^ C to 927^ C . The root mean square speed
Options
- Agets halved
- Bgets doubled
- Cis ( 927 27 ) times the earlier value
- Dremains the same
Correct answer
B. gets doubled
Step-by-step solution
Given, aligned T₁ & =27^ C =300 ~K T₂ & =927^ C =1200 ~K aligned v_ rms = ( 3 k T m ) aligned & v_ rms T & (v_ rms )₁ (v_ rms )₂ = T₁ T₂ & (v_ rms )₁ (v_ rms )₂ = 300 1200 = 1 2 & (v_ rms )₂=2 (v_ rms )₁ & aligned
