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

    A)  516 metre/sec

    B)         450 metre/sec 

    C)  310 metre/sec

    D)         746 metre/sec

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

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