4.The temperature of an ideal gas is increased from 120 K to 480 K. If at 120 K, the root mean square velocity of the gas molecules is v, at 480 K it becomes
a) 4v
b) 2v
c) v/2
d) v/4

Answer: b
Explanation:
q124

5. Root mean square velocity of a particle is v at pressure P. If pressure is increased two times, then the r.m.s. velocity becomes
a) 2 v
b) 3 v
c) 0.5 v
d) v

Answer: d
Explanation: Root mean square velocity of a particle is v at pressure P. If pressure is increased two times, then the r.m.s. velocity becomes v

c) Independent of its pressure but directly proportional to the square root of its Kelvin temperature
d) Directly proportional to both its pressure and its Kelvin temperature

Answer: c
Explanation: The root mean square speed of the molecules of a gas is independent of its pressure but directly proportional to the square root of its Kelvin temperature
