Q85 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (09 Apr Shift 1) · Physics

An HCl molecule has rotational, translational and vibrational motions. If the rms velocity of HCl molecules in its gaseous phase is ν- , m is its mass and kB is Boltzmann's constant, then its temperature will be:

  • A
    mν- 25kB
  • B
    mν- 26kB
  • Correct answer
    C
    mν- 23kB
  • D
    mν- 27kB

Solution

Vrms=3kBTm 
v-=3kBTm
T=mv-23kB

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
