At a given temperature,if $V_{rms}$ is the root mean square velocity of the molecules of a gas and $V_s$ is the velocity of sound in it,then these are related as $\left( \gamma = \frac{C_P}{C_v} \right)$:

  • A
    $V_{rms} = V_s$
  • B
    $V_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3}{\gamma}} \times V_s$
  • C
    $V_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{\gamma}{3}} \times V_s$
  • D
    $V_{rms} = \left( \frac{3}{\gamma} \right) \times V_s$

The rms speed of an oxygen molecule at a certain absolute temperature is $v$. If the absolute temperature is doubled and the oxygen molecules dissociate into atomic oxygen,then the rms speed would be

$Assertion :$ The root mean square and most probable speeds of the molecules in a gas are the same.
$Reason :$ The Maxwell distribution for the speed of molecules in a gas is symmetrical.

The $r.m.s.$ speed of the molecules of a gas in a vessel is $400 \; m/s$. If half of the gas leaks out,at constant temperature,the $r.m.s.$ speed of the remaining molecules will be ..... $m/s$.
