JEE Main & Advanced Physics Kinetic Theory of Gases Question Bank Topic Test - Kinetic Theory Of Gases-2

  • question_answer
    The average translational energy and the r.m.s. speed of molecules in a sample of oxygen gas at 300 K are \[6.21\times {{10}^{-21}}\,J\] and 484 m/s respectively. The corresponding values at 600 K are nearly (assuming ideal gas behaviour)

    A) \[12.42\times {{10}^{21}}\,J,\ 968\,m/s\]          

    B) \[8.78\times {{10}^{21}}J,\ 684\,m/s\]

    C) \[6.21\times {{10}^{21}}\,J,\,968\,m/s\]

    D) \[12.42\times {{10}^{21}}\,J,\ 684\,m/s\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] We know that average translational \[K.E.\] of a molecules \[=\frac{3}{2}kT\] At\[300K,\] average \[K.E.=6.21\times {{10}^{-21}}J\]
    At\[600K,\] average \[K.E=2\times (6.21\times {{10}^{-21}})\]
                                      \[=12.42\times {{10}^{-21}}J\]
    We know that \[{{v}_{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3kT}{m}}\]
    At \[300K,\]\[{{v}_{rms}}=484\,m/s\]
    At \[600K,\]\[{{{v}'}_{rms}}=\sqrt{2}\times 484=684m/s\]
