Q111 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 1) · Physics

The molecules of a given mass of gas have RMS velocity of 200  m s-1 at 27oC and 1.0×105 N m-2 pressure. When the temperature and pressure of the gas are respectively, 127oC and 0.05×105 N m-2, the r.m.s. velocity of its molecules in m s-1 is:

  • A
    1002
  • Correct answer
    B
    4003
  • C
    10023
  • D
    1003

Solution

RMS speed of molecules is VRMS=3RTM, where R is universal gas constant, T is absolute temperature and M is molar mass of gas.

So it depends only on temperature, Vrms∝T

⇒V1V2=T1T2⇒200V2=300400

⇒200V2=32⇒V2=4003 m sec-1

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