What will be the effect on the root mean square velocity of oxygen molecules if the temperature is doubled and oxygen molecule dissociates into atomic oxygen?
Updated On: Sep 24, 2024
- The velocity of atomic oxygen remains same
- The velocity of atomic oxygen doubles
- The velocity of atomic oxygen becomes half
- The velocity of atomic oxygen becomes four times
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
\(v\)rms=\(\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M_0}}\)
T is doubled and oxygen molecule is dissociated into atomic oxygen molar mass is halved.
So, \(v'\)rms=\(\sqrt{\frac{3R×2T}{M_0/2}}\)=2\(v\)rms
Therefore, the correct option is (B): velocity of atomic oxygen is doubled.

Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases
Postulates of Kinetic Theory of Gases:
- Gases consist of particles in constant, random motion. They continue in a straight line until they collide with each other or the walls of their container.
- Particles are point masses with no volume. The particles are so small compared to the space between them, that we do not consider their size in ideal gases.
- Gas pressure is due to the molecules colliding with the walls of the container. All of these collisions are perfectly elastic, meaning that there is no change in energy of either the particles or the wall upon collision. No energy is lost or gained from collisions. The time it takes to collide is negligible compared with the time between collisions.
- The kinetic energy of a gas is a measure of its Kelvin temperature. Individual gas molecules have different speeds, but the temperature and
kinetic energy of the gas refer to the average of these speeds. - The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to the temperature. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move.
- All gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy.
- Lighter gas molecules move faster than heavier molecules.
