    $7.07 \times 10^{6} \ m/s$
  • B
    $5.07 \times 10^{6} \ m/s$

Let $\overline{V}$, $V_{\text{rms}}$, and $V_{p}$ denote the mean speed, root mean square speed, and most probable speed of the molecules each of mass $m$ in an ideal monoatomic gas at absolute temperature $T$ Kelvin. Which statement$(s)$ is/are correct?

$A$ 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 $w^2/v^2$.

$A$ gas is allowed to expand isothermally. The root mean square velocity of the molecules

At what temperature is the $R$.$M$.$S$. velocity of a hydrogen molecule equal to that of an oxygen molecule at $47^{\circ} C$ (in $K$)? (Molecular weight of hydrogen $= 2$,molecular weight of oxygen $= 32$)

For a given gas at $1\,atm$ pressure,the $rms$ speed of the molecules is $200\,m/s$ at $127\,^oC$. At $2\,atm$ pressure and at $227\,^oC$,the $rms$ speed of the molecules will be:
