If the temperature of a gas is increased from \(127^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(527^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), then the rms speed of the gas molecules

  1. A increases by 4 times
  2. B becomes \(\sqrt{2}\) times
  3. C becomes half
  4. D decreases by \(\sqrt{2}\) times
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) becomes \(\sqrt{2}\) times

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T_1 = 127 + 273 = 400 \mathrm{K}\) \(T_2 = 527 + 273 = 800 \mathrm{K}\) \(\frac{v_{rms,2}}{v_{rms,1}} = \sqrt{\frac{T_2}{T_1}}\) \(\frac{v_{rms,2}}{v_{rms,1}} = \sqrt{\frac{800}{400}} = \sqrt{2}\) rms speed becomes \(\sqrt{2}\) times.
