The correct Answer is:
To find the new RMS velocity of hydrogen atoms after the dissociation of hydrogen molecules at a raised temperature, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given information We know that the most probable velocity of hydrogen molecules at temperature \( T \) °C is \( V_0 \). When the temperature is raised to \( (2T + 273) \) °C, the hydrogen molecules dissociate into hydrogen atoms. ### Step 2: Convert the temperature to Kelvin The temperature in Kelvin is given by: \[ T(K) = T(°C) + 273 \] So, at the initial temperature \( T \) °C, the temperature in Kelvin is: \[ T + 273 \] At the new temperature \( (2T + 273) \) °C, the temperature in Kelvin is: \[ (2T + 273) + 273 = 2T + 546 \] ### Step 3: Use the formula for most probable velocity The most probable velocity \( V_{mp} \) of gas molecules is given by: \[ V_{mp} = \sqrt{\frac{2RT}{m}} \] Where: - \( R \) is the universal gas constant, - \( T \) is the absolute temperature in Kelvin, - \( m \) is the molar mass of the gas. For hydrogen molecules (H₂), the molar mass \( m \) is 2 g/mol. At the initial temperature \( T + 273 \): \[ V_0 = \sqrt{\frac{2R(T + 273)}{2}} = \sqrt{R(T + 273)} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the new most probable velocity after dissociation After dissociation, the hydrogen atoms (H) have a molar mass of 1 g/mol. The new temperature is \( 2T + 546 \) K. Therefore, the new most probable velocity \( V_{mp}' \) is: \[ V_{mp}' = \sqrt{\frac{2R(2T + 546)}{1}} = \sqrt{2R(2T + 546)} \] ### Step 5: Relate the new most probable velocity to \( V_0 \) Now, we can express the new most probable velocity in terms of \( V_0 \): \[ V_{mp}' = \sqrt{2R(2T + 546)} = \sqrt{2R(2(T + 273))} = \sqrt{4R(T + 273)} = 2\sqrt{R(T + 273)} = 2V_0 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the new RMS velocity The RMS velocity \( V_{rms} \) is given by: \[ V_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{m}} \] For hydrogen atoms at the new temperature: \[ V_{rms}' = \sqrt{\frac{3R(2T + 546)}{1}} = \sqrt{3R(2T + 546)} \] ### Step 7: Substitute \( T + 273 \) in terms of \( V_0 \) Using the relationship we derived earlier: \[ V_{rms}' = \sqrt{3R(2T + 546)} = \sqrt{3R(2(T + 273))} = \sqrt{6R(T + 273)} = \sqrt{6}V_0 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the new RMS velocity after the dissociation of hydrogen molecules into atoms at the raised temperature is: \[ V_{rms}' = \sqrt{6} V_0 \]
