For one mole of an ideal gas, increasing the temperature from 10^ C to 20^ C
Options
- Aincreases the average kinetic energy by two times
- Bincreases the rms velocity by 2 times
- Cincreases the rms velocity by two times
- Dincreases both the average kinetic energy and rms velocity, but not significantly
Correct answer
D. increases both the average kinetic energy and rms velocity, but not significantly
Step-by-step solution
Given, T ₁=273+10=283 ~K T ₂=273+20=293 ~K Average KE = 3 2 KT ( KE ₁ ) ( KE ₂ ) = 283 293 =0.96 Root mean square (rms) velocity, v _ rms = 3 RT M aligned v _ ( rms )₁ v _ ( rms )₂ &= T ₁ ~T ₂ &= 283 293 =0.98 aligned Thus, both average kinetic energy and root mean square velocity increase but not significantly when temperature is increased from 10^ C to 20^ C .
