a) \[1200^{\circ} C\]
b) \[927^{\circ} C\]
c) \[600^{\circ} C\]
d) \[108^{\circ} C\]

Answer: b
Explanation:

7. The temperature of an ideal gas is reduced from \[927^{\circ} C\]  to \[27^{\circ} C\]  . The r.m.s. velocity of the molecules becomes
a) Double the initial value
b) Half of the initial value
c) Four times the initial value
d) Ten times the initial value

Answer: b
Explanation: The temperature of an ideal gas is reduced from \[927^{\circ} C\]  to \[27^{\circ} C\]  . The r.m.s. velocity of the molecules becomes half of the initial value

a) Increase
b) Decrease
c) Remain same
d) Decrease for some, while increase for others

Answer: c
Explanation: Cooking gas containers are kept in a lorry moving with uniform speed. The temperature of the gas molecules inside will remain same

10. The root mean square speed of hydrogen molecules at 300 K is 1930 m/s. Then the root mean square speed of oxygen molecules at 900 K will be
