    The temperature of the ideal gas is increased from \[27{}^\circ C\] to \[972{}^\circ C\]. The root mean square speed of its molecules becomes

    A)  half                                      

    B)  twice

    C)  four times         

    D)  one- fourth

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Root mean square velocity \[({{v}_{rms}})\] of an ideal gas at temperature T is                 \[{{v}_{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}}\] Given, \[{{T}_{1}}={{27}^{o}}C=273+27=300\,K\],                 \[{{T}_{2}}={{927}^{o}}C\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{300}{1200}}=\frac{1}{2}\] Hence, root mean square velocity will become double.
