Question

The molecules of a given mass of a gas have RMS speed of 200 m/s at 300 K and 1,00,000 bar pressure. When the absolute temperature is doubled and the pressure is halved, the RMS speed of molecules will become

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. RMS speed depends only on T. Doubling T increases speed by sqrt(2). Therefore, correct answer is D.
