Heat and Thermodynamics 4 Question 38

40. The root mean square (rms) speed of oxygen molecules (O2) at a certain temperature T (degree absolute) is V. If the temperature is doubled and oxygen gas dissociates into atomic oxygen, the rms speed remains unchanged.

(1987, 2M)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. vrms=3RTM or vrmsTM

When oxygen gas dissociates into atomic oxygen its atomic mass M will remain half. Temperature is doubled. So, from Eq. (i) vrms  will become two times.
