Vedclass · Answer

(D) Statement $I$: In an ideal gas,molecules move in random directions. For every molecule with momentum $\vec{p}$,there is a statistically equal probability of finding a molecule with momentum $-\vec{p}$. Thus,the average momentum $\vec{p}_{avg} = 0$,which is independent of temperature.Statement $II$: The rms speed is given by $v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$.Initially,$v = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M_{O_2}}}$.When temperature is doubled $(T' = 2T)$ and $O_2$ dissociates into $O$ atoms,the molar mass becomes $M' = \frac{M_{O_2}}{2}$.The new rms speed $v' = \sqrt{\frac{3R(2T)}{M_{O_2}/2}} = \sqrt{4 \cdot \frac{3RT}{M_{O_2}}} = 2v$.Therefore,Statement $I$ is false and Statement $II$ is true.

At what temperature $K$ will the $r.m.s.$ speed of hydrogen gas be equal to the $r.m.s.$ speed of oxygen molecules at $47^{\circ}C$?

Let $\bar{v}$,${v_{rms}}$ and ${v_p}$ respectively denote the mean speed,root mean square speed,and most probable speed of the molecules in an ideal monoatomic gas at absolute temperature $T$. The mass of a molecule is $m$. Then

If the $rms$ speed of hydrogen gas is equal to the $rms$ speed of oxygen gas at $47^{\circ}C$,find the temperature of the hydrogen gas in $K$.

At room temperature,the $rms$ speed of a gas is $V_1$. If the pressure of the gas is doubled at the same room temperature,the $rms$ speed becomes $V_2$. Then:
