The temperature at which the rms speed of molecules in hydrogen gas will be double of its initial value at \(27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is

  1. A \(300^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(1473^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(927^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(546^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(927^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The rms speed of molecules in hydrogen gas is \[ v_{\mathrm{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 k_B T}{m}} \] where, \(m=\) mass of hydrogen, \(k_B=\) Boltzmann's constant and \(T=\) temperature in kelvin. \[ \therefore \quad v_{\text {rms }} \propto \sqrt{T} \] Initial temperature,…
