Question 797: Thermodynamics & KTG

Question

If temperature of gas molecules is raised from $127^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $527^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, the ratio of r.m.s. speed of the molecules is respectively

Accepted Answer

We know
$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{m}}}$
The temperature of the same gas molecule is raised.
$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{ms}} \propto \sqrt{\mathrm{T}}$
$	herefore \quad$ The ratio of the velocities is
$\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\mathrm{V}_1}{\mathrm{~V}_2}=\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{T}_1}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{T}_2}} \
& \frac{\mathrm{V}_1}{\mathrm{~V}_2}=\frac{\sqrt{400}}{\sqrt{800}} \
& \frac{\mathrm{V}_1}{\mathrm{~V}_2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}
\end{aligned}$
Convert temperatures given in centigrade to Kelvin before calculation.
