Q10 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (20 Aug Shift 2) · Chemistry

When the temperature of a gas is increased from 30°C to 930°C, the root mean square speed of the gas would

  • Correct answer
    A
    get doubled
  • B
    remain constant
  • C
    gets halved
  • D
    increase by 5.5 times

Solution

Root-mean-square is directly proportional to the square root of temperature.

urms=3RTM

At the different temperature of same gas, the mass will be same.

Temperature T1=30+273=303K

Temperature T2=930+273=1203K

So,

u1u2=T1T2=3031203=17.413.68u2=2u1

Hence, the root mean square speed of the gas would get doubled.

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