The root mean square $(r.m.s.)$ velocity of a gas particle is $v$ at pressure $P$. If the pressure is increased to $2P$ while keeping the temperature constant,the $r.m.s.$ velocity becomes:

  • A
    $2v$
  • B
    $3v$
  • C
    $0.5v$
  • D
    $v$

For a gas at a temperature $T$,the root-mean-square velocity ${v_{rms}}$,the most probable speed ${v_{mp}}$,and the average speed ${v_{av}}$ obey the relationship:

The root mean square speed of hydrogen molecules of an ideal hydrogen gas kept in a gas chamber at $0^{\circ}C$ is $3180 \ m/s$. The pressure on the hydrogen gas is ..... $atm$ (Density of hydrogen gas is $8.99 \times 10^{-2} \ kg/m^3$,$1 \ atm = 1.01 \times 10^5 \ N/m^2$).

Five molecules of a gas have speeds $1, 2, 4, 8$ and $16 \, m/s$ at some instant. The root mean square velocity of the gas molecules is ..... $m/s$.

Column-$I$ represents the formula for ${v_{rms}}$ and Column-$II$ represents the corresponding condition (phenomena). Match them correctly:
Column-$I$Column-$II$
$(a)$ ${v_{rms}} = \sqrt {\frac{3P}{\rho}}$$(i)$ For $1 \text{ mole ideal gas}$
$(b)$ ${v_{rms}} = \sqrt {\frac{3RT}{M_0}}$$(ii)$ For one molecule of gas
$(c)$ ${v_{rms}} = \sqrt {\frac{3{k_B}T}{m}}$$(iii)$ On the basis of kinetic theory
