    The temperature of an ideal gas is increased from 120 K to 480 K. If at 120 K, the root mean square speed of gas molecules is v, then at 480 K, it will be

    A)  4v                                         

    B)  2v

    C)  \[\frac{v}{2}\]                                  

    D)  \[\frac{v}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     The root mean square velocity is given by \[{{v}_{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}\]                 So,          \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}}\] Now, \[{{T}_{1}}=120K,\,{{T}_{2}}=480K,\,{{v}_{1}}=v\] So,          \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{120}{480}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{v}{{{v}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow {{v}_{2}}=2v\]
