The molecules of a given mass of a gas have rms velocity of ms at and Nm pressure. When the temperature and pressure of the gas are, respectively, and Nm the rms velocity of its molecules in ms is
To solve this problem, we will use the formula for the root mean square (rms) velocity of gas molecules:However, since we are comparing the same gas under different conditions, we can use the relation:where and are the rms velocities at temperatures and respectively.Given: ms K KSubstitute these values into the equation:Simplify the square root:Rearrange to solve for Therefore, the rms velocity of the gas molecules at the new conditions is msThis corresponds to Option 4.
