The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the temperature at which the velocity of sound in a gas doubles from its initial value at 27°C. The relationship between the velocity of sound and temperature in a gas can be expressed with the formula: \[ V \propto \sqrt{T} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Conditions**: - The initial temperature \( T_1 \) is given as \( 27^\circ C \). - Convert this temperature to Kelvin: \[ T_1 = 27 + 273 = 300 \, K \] - The initial velocity of sound is \( V \). 2. **Establish the Relationship**: - According to the formula, the velocity of sound \( V \) is proportional to the square root of the absolute temperature \( T \): \[ V \propto \sqrt{T} \] - If the velocity doubles, we have: \[ 2V \propto \sqrt{T_2} \] - Where \( T_2 \) is the new temperature at which the velocity is \( 2V \). 3. **Set Up the Proportionality**: - From the proportionality, we can write: \[ \frac{2V}{V} = \frac{\sqrt{T_2}}{\sqrt{T_1}} \] - Simplifying gives: \[ 2 = \sqrt{\frac{T_2}{T_1}} \] 4. **Square Both Sides**: - Squaring both sides to eliminate the square root: \[ 4 = \frac{T_2}{T_1} \] 5. **Solve for \( T_2 \)**: - Rearranging gives: \[ T_2 = 4T_1 \] - Substituting \( T_1 = 300 \, K \): \[ T_2 = 4 \times 300 = 1200 \, K \] 6. **Convert \( T_2 \) Back to Celsius**: - Convert \( T_2 \) from Kelvin back to Celsius: \[ T_2 = 1200 - 273 = 927 \, ^\circ C \] ### Final Answer: The temperature at which the velocity of sound in the gas will be \( 2V \) is \( 927^\circ C \). ---
