If the molecular weights of two gases are $M_1$ and $M_2$,then at a constant temperature,the ratio of their root mean square velocities $v_1$ and $v_2$ will be:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{M_1}{M_2}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{M_1 + M_2}{M_1 - M_2}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{M_1 - M_2}{M_1 + M_2}}$

At room temperature,the $rms$ speed of a gas is $V_1$. If the pressure of the gas is doubled at the same room temperature,the $rms$ speed becomes $V_2$. Then:

The $rms$ speed of an ideal diatomic gas at temperature $T$ is $v$. When the gas dissociates into atoms,its new $rms$ speed becomes double. At what temperature does the dissociation of the gas occur?

To what temperature should the hydrogen at $327^{\circ} C$ be cooled at constant pressure,so that the root mean square velocity of its molecules becomes half of its previous value (in $^{\circ} C$)?

The r.m.s. velocity of gas molecules kept at temperature $27^{\circ} C$ in a vessel is $61 \ m/s$. The molecular weight of the gas is nearly:
