If the absolute temperature of a gas is increased 5 times, the r.m.s. velocity of the gas molecules will be
Options
- A5 times
- B10 times
- C25 times
- D5 times
Correct answer
D. 5 times
Step-by-step solution
The mean kinetic energy 1 2 ~m ^2 of the gas molecule is proportional to the temperature T : 2 T v ₂ v ₁ = T ₂ ~T ₁ v ₂ = 5 v ₁
