At what temperature rms speed of air molecules is doubled of that at NIP ?

  1. A \(819^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(719^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(909^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D None of these
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(819^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
v_{\mathrm{rms}} \propto \sqrt{T}
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow & \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{v_{2}^{2}}=\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} \\
\Rightarrow & \frac{v^{2}}{4 v^{2}} =\frac{273}{T_{2}} \\
\Rightarrow & T_{2} =1092 \mathrm{~K} \\
&=819{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
\end{aligned}
