  • A
    $u > v > \alpha$
  • B
    $v > u > \alpha$
  • C
    $\alpha > u > v$
  • D
    $u > \alpha > v$

At what temperature will the $RMS$ velocity of $SO_2$ be the same as that of $O_2$ at $303 \ K$?

Initially,the root mean square $(rms)$ velocity of $N_2$ molecules at a certain temperature is $u$. If this temperature is doubled and all the nitrogen molecules dissociate into nitrogen atoms,then the new $rms$ velocity will be:
