To increase the rms speed of gas molecules by \(25 \%\), the percentage increase in absolute temperature of the gas is to be

  1. A \(42.75\)
  2. B \(56.25\)
  3. C \(36.75\)
  4. D \(18.25\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(56.25\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v_{rms} \propto \sqrt{T}\) \(\frac{v_2}{v_1} = \sqrt{\frac{T_2}{T_1}}\) \(v_2 = 1.25v_1 \implies \frac{v_2}{v_1} = 1.25\) \(1.25 = \sqrt{\frac{T_2}{T_1}}\) \(T_2 = (1.25)^2 T_1 = 1.5625 T_1\)…
