    When temperature of an ideal gas is increased from\[27{}^\circ C\]to\[227{}^\circ C,\]its rms speed is changed from 400 m/s to\[{{v}_{s}}\]. The\[{{v}_{s}}\]is:

    A)  516 m/s       

    B)  450 m/s

    C)  310 m/s

    D)  746 m/s

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     We know that rms speed is directly proportional to square root of temperature. \[{{v}_{rms}}\propto \sqrt{T}\] Hence,     \[\frac{{{v}_{rms(1)}}}{{{v}_{rms(2)}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}}\] \[\frac{400}{{{v}_{rms(2)}}}=\frac{\sqrt{27+273}}{\sqrt{227+273}}=\sqrt{\frac{300}{500}}\] \[{{v}_{rms(2)}}=v=\sqrt{\frac{500}{300}}\times 400\] \[=1.29\times 400=516.39\,m/s\] \[\approx 516m/s\]
