Consider an ideal gas in a closed container at $300 \ K$. The container is then heated so that the average velocity of particles of the gas increases by a factor of $4$. What would be the final temperature (in $^{\circ} C$)?

If the oxygen $(O_2)$ has a root mean square velocity of $C \ m/s$,then the root mean square velocity of hydrogen $(H_2)$ at the same temperature will be:

The value closest to the thermal velocity of a Helium atom at room temperature $(300\,K)$ in $m/s$ is $[k_B = 1.4 \times 10^{-23}\,J/K; m_{He} = 7 \times 10^{-27}\,kg]$.

$A$ gas $A$ has $N$ molecules at temperature $T$ with mass $m$. Another gas $B$ has $2N$ molecules at the same temperature $T$ with mass $2m$. Both are contained in a vessel. If the $rms$ velocity of molecules of gas $B$ is $v$,and the $x$-component of the mean square velocity of molecules of gas $A$ is $w^2$,find the ratio $w^2/v^2$.
