JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th April Morning Slot - No. 2)

For a given gas at 1 atm pressure, rms speed of the molecule is 200 m/s at 127°C. At 2 atm pressure and at 227°C, the rms speed of the molecules will be :
100 m/s
100 $$\sqrt 5 $$ m/s
80 $$\sqrt 5 $$ m/s
80 m/s

Explanation

$${V_{rms}} = \sqrt {{{3RT} \over {{M_w}}}} $$

$$ \Rightarrow {V_{rms}} \propto \sqrt T $$

Now, $${v \over {200}} = \sqrt {{{500} \over {400}}} $$

$$ \Rightarrow {v \over {200}} = {{\sqrt 5 } \over 2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow v = 100\sqrt 5 $$ m/s
