The temperature of a gas is -50 °C. To what temperature the gas should be heated so that the rms speed is increased by 3 times?
  1. 223 K
  2. 669 °C
  3. 3295 °C
  4. 3097 K

Solution

RMS speed is given by, v=3RTM.

Therefore,

vT.

Given:

Initial temperature, T1=-50+273 K=223 K

Let, initial speed be v, then final speed will be v+3v=4v.

Now,

4vv=T2T1T2=16T1=3568 K=3568-273 °C=3295 °C
