NEET2023PhysicsKinetic Theory of GasesActual
The temperature of a gas is - 50   ° C . To what temperature the gas should be heated so that the rms speed is increased by 3 times?
Options
- A223   K
- B669   ° C
- C3295   ° C
- D3097   K
Correct answer
C. 3295   ° C
Step-by-step solution
RMS speed is given by, v = 3 R T M . Therefore, v ∝ T . Given: Initial temperature, T 1 = - 50 + 273   K = 223   K Let, initial speed be v , then final speed will be v + 3 v = 4 v . Now, 4 v v = T 2 T 1 ⇒ T 2 = 16 T 1 = 3568   K = 3568 - 273   ° C = 3295   ° C
