If ${V_H}$,${V_N}$,and ${V_O}$ denote the root-mean-square velocities of molecules of hydrogen,nitrogen,and oxygen respectively at a given temperature,then:

  • A
    ${V_N} > {V_O} > {V_H}$
  • B
    ${V_H} > {V_N} > {V_O}$
  • C
    ${V_O} = {V_N} = {V_H}$
  • D
    ${V_O} > {V_H} > {V_N}$

The temperature of a gas is $-68^{\circ} C$. To what temperature should it be heated,so that the r.m.s. velocity of the molecules be doubled (in $^{\circ} C$)?

At temperature $T,$ the $r.m.s.$ speed of helium molecules is the same as the $r.m.s.$ speed of hydrogen molecules at normal temperature and pressure $(NTP)$. The value of $T$ is ....... $^\circ C$.

$N$ $(N < 100)$ molecules of a gas have velocities $1, 2, 3, ..., N \text{ km/s}$ respectively. Then:

The speeds of $5$ molecules of a gas (in arbitrary units) are as follows: $2, 3, 4, 5, 6$. The root mean square speed for these molecules is

The r.m.s. velocity of a gas at a certain temperature is $\sqrt{2}$ times that of the oxygen molecules at the same temperature. The gas can be:
