b) The velocity of sound in the gas
c) The number of molecules in the gas
d) The mean square velocity of the molecules
Explanation: The absolute temperature of a gas is determined by the mean square velocity of the molecules
2. The root mean square velocity of the molecules in a sample of helium is 5/7th that of the molecules in a sample of hydrogen. If the temperature of
hydrogen sample is 0°C, then the temperature of the helium sample is about
a) 0°C
b) 0 K
c) 273°C
d) 100°C
Explanation:
3. At what temperature is the root mean square velocity of gaseous hydrogen molecules is equal to that of oxygen molecules at 47°C
a) 20 K
b) 80 K
c) – 73 K

a) Four times the value at 200 K
b) Half the value at 200 K
c) Twice the value at 200 K
d) Same as at 200 K
Explanation: For a gas, the r.m.s. speed at 800 K is twice the value at 200 K
5. The root mean square velocity of a gas molecule of mass m at a given temperature is proportional to
a) \[m^{0}\]
b) m
c) \[\sqrt{m}\]
d) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}\]

b) Its surface is not smooth
c) It is quite far away from the earth
d) It does not have population and plants
Explanation: Moon has no atmosphere because the r.m.s. velocity of all gases is more than the escape velocity from moon's surface
