12.Kinetic Theory of Gases
normal

The following graph shows two isotherms for a fixed mass of an ideal gas. The ratio of $r.m.s.$ speed of the molecules at temperatures $T_2$ and $T_1$ is

A

$2\sqrt 2 $

B

$\sqrt 2 $

C

$2$

D

$4$

Solution

We know that

$\mathbf{P V}=\mu \mathbf{r R}, \mu, R$ constant

$\mathrm{T}_{1} \propto \mathrm{P}_{1} \mathrm{V}_{1}$ and $\sqrt{2} \propto \mathrm{P}_{2} \mathrm{V}_{2}$

$\mathrm{T}_{1}=1 \times 1$ unit, $\mathrm{T}_{2}=2 \times 2$ unit

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{rms}} \propto \sqrt{\mathrm{T}}$
