If a gas is compressed isothermally then the r.m.s. velocity of the molecules
Options
- Adecreases.
- Bincreases.
- Cremains the same.
- Dfirst decreases and then increases.
Correct answer
C. remains the same.
Step-by-step solution
The root-mean-square (rms) velocity of gas molecules is, v _ r . m . s = 3 kT m v _ rms T for a given gas. As the temperature is constant in isothermal process, the r.m.s velocity remains the same.
