The temperature of an ideal gas is increased from 100 K to 400 K. If ' x ' is the R.M.S. velocity of its molecules at 100 K, it becomes

  1. A \(\frac{x}{4}\)
  2. B \(2 x\)
  3. C \(3 x\)
  4. D \(4 x\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 x\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{v_2}{v_1} = \sqrt{\frac{T_2}{T_1}} \) \( v_2 = x \sqrt{\frac{400}{100}} = x \sqrt{4} = 2x \)
