An ideal gas is held in a container of volume v at pressure p. the rms speed of a gas molecule under these conditions is v. if now the volume and pressure are changed to 2v and 2p, the rms speed of a molecule will be?
a) 4v
b) v/2
c) v/4
d) 2v
e) v

d) 2v

Explanation:

Since, root mean square speed of a molecule,

Where,

k = Boltzmann constant,

T = temperature of gas,

m = mass of molecule,

Also, the temperature of a gas,

Where,

p = pressure of the gas,

V = volume,

n = number of moles of gas,

R = universal gas constant,

If V = 2V and p = 2P

Then,

Hence, if rms speed of a gas molecule under initial conditions is v then rms speed of a molecule will be 2v

i.e. option d is correct.

you can't see the options

1. what is the relationship between the shape of an enzyme and the reactions they catalyze?

2. how does an enzyme inhibitor work?

separate your answers so i dont get confused : )
