The temperature of a gas is -50 . To what temperature the gas should be heated so that the rms speed is increased by 3 times?
- 3295
- 3097 K
- 223 K
- 669
Answer
(1) 3295
Solution
vrms = 3RTM vrms T
Increased by 3 times: increase = 3v, so the new speed v' = v + 3v = 4v
T'T = ( v'v )2 = 16
T = -50 + 273 = 223 K
T' = 16 223 = 3568 K
= 3568 - 273 = 3295
Answer: (1)
