The root mean square (rms) speed of oxygen molecules (O2) at a certain absolute temperature is v. If the temperature is doubled and oxygen gas dissociates into atomic oxygen, rms speed would be

a
v
b
2v
c
2v
d
22v

detailed solution

Correct option is C

v=3RTM  α  TMTemperature is doubled. When gas dissociates, molecular weight halves. So, velocity doubles.
