When the temperature of a gas is increased from 30°C to 930°C, the root mean square speed of the gas would
  1. get doubled
  2. remain constant
  3. gets halved
  4. increase by 5.5 times

Solution

Root-mean-square is directly proportional to the square root of temperature.

urms=3RTM

At the different temperature of same gas, the mass will be same.

Temperature T1=30+273=303K

Temperature T2=930+273=1203K

So,

u1u2=T1T2=3031203=17.413.68u2=2u1

Hence, the root mean square speed of the gas would get doubled.
