Q.
The molecules of a given mass of gas have an rms velocity of 200ms−1 at 27∘C and pressure 1atm . When the temperature is 127∘C and pressure is 2atm , the rms velocity in ms−1 will be?
RMS velocity doesn't depend upon pressure, it depends upon temperature only, ie.,vrms∝T . ⇒v2v1=T2T1⇒v2200=(273+127)(273+27)=400300 ⇒v2=3400ms−1
