The rms speed of oxygen is v at a particular temperature. If the temperature is doubled and oxygen molecules dissociate into oxygen atoms, the rms speed becomes [WB JEE 2015]

a
v
b
2v
c
2v
d
4v

detailed solution

Correct option is C

The rms speed is given by              vrms=3RTM⇒        vrms∝TMWhen temperature is doubled and molecules dissociate into atoms, then              vrms 1vrms 2=TM2TM/2=TM4TM=T4T=12If (vrms)1 is v, then (vrms)2 will be 2v.
