The rms speed of oxygen is v at a particular temperature. IF the temperature is doubled and oxygen molecules dissociate into oxygen atoms the rms speed becomes

A

v

B

`sqrt2v`

C

2v

D

4v

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The rms speed of oxygen molecule , `v=sqrt((2Rt)/M)`
When the molecules dissociate into oxygen atoms, molar mass will change from M to `M/2` (when the temperature changes from T to 2T).
Then, rms speed `=sqrt((3R.2T)/(M//2))=2sqrt((3RT)/M)=2v`
