  1. A \(87^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(127^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(227^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(360^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(87^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R M S\) speed, \(v_{\mathrm{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{M}} \Rightarrow v_{\mathrm{rms}} \propto \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{M}}}\) \(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{rms}, \mathrm{o}}=75 \%\) of \(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{rms}, \mathrm{N}}=\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{rms}, \mathrm{N}}\)…
