What will be the effect on the root mean square velocity of oxygen molecules if the temperature is doubled and oxygen molecule dissociates into atomic oxygen?

  1. A The velocity of atomic oxygen remains same
  2. B The velocity of atomic oxygen doubles
  3. C The velocity of atomic oxygen becomes half
  4. D The velocity of atomic oxygen becomes four times
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) The velocity of atomic oxygen doubles

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(V _{ mms }=\sqrt{\frac{3 RT }{ M }}\) \(T \rightarrow 2 T\) \(M \rightarrow \frac{ M }{2}\) \(V _{ rms } \propto \sqrt{\frac{ T }{ M }}\)…
