Question

Item 16 A sample of gas has a temperature of 200 K. If the speed of every gas molecule in the sample is doubled, what is the new temperature of the gas

Answer 1

If the speed of every gas molecule in the sample is doubled, then the new temperature of the gas is 80K.

What is relation between the speed and temperature?

Speed of any molecule of gas is measured in terms of velocity and relation between root mean square velocity and temperature will be calculated as:

V = √3RT/M

Means velocity is directly proportional to the square root of the temperature, and for this question required equation is:

V₁/V₂ = √T₁/T₂

If velocity of the molecule is gets double then equation becomes,

V₁/2V₁ = √200/T₂

T₂ = 800K

Hence resultant temperature of gas is 800K.
