The rms speed of N 2 molecules in a gas is u . If the temperature is doubled and the nitrogen molecules dissociate into nitrogen atoms, the rms speed becomes
Options
- A2 u
- B4 u
- C14 u
- D2 u
Correct answer
A. 2 u
Step-by-step solution
u 1 u 2 = n 1 T 1 n 2 T 2 = n × T 2 n × 2 T = 1 4 = 1 2 ∴ u 2 = 2 u 1 Therefore, If the temperature is doubled and the nitrogen molecules dissociate into nitrogen atoms, the rms speed becomes double.
