A perfect gas of volume 5 litre is compressed isothermally to volume of 1 litre. The r.m.s. speed of the molecules will
Options
- Aincrease by 10 times
- Bdecrease by 10 times
- Cincrease by 5 times
- Dremain unchanged
Correct answer
D. remain unchanged
Step-by-step solution
As the gas is compressed isothermally, the temperature remains constant. The rms speed is given by, v _ rms = 3 RT M The rms speed remains unchanged.
