Q6 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2019 (Paper 1) · Chemistry

Which of the following statement(s) (are) correct regarding the root mean square speed Urms and average translational kinetic energy εav of a molecule in a gas at equilibrium?

  • Correct answer
    A
    Urms is doubled when its temperature is increased four times
  • Correct answer
    B
    εav at a given temperature does not depend on its molecular mass
  • Correct answer
    C
    Urms is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass
  • D
    εav is doubled when its temperature is increased four times

Solution

Urms=3RTM, Eav=32RT
If temperature is made 4 times, Urms between twice.
Avg. kinetic energy (Fav) is independent of molecular man at a given temperature,
Urms inversely proportional to the square not of molecular mass.

Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'B', 'C'.
