Molecular Speeds & Maxwell Distribution

When the rms velocity of a gas is denoted by 'vv', which one of the following relations is true? (T=T = Absolute temperature of the gas.)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. v2=3RTMv^2 = \frac{3RT}{M}, so for a given gas v2∝Tv^2 \propto T.
  2. So the answer is (a) v2T=\frac{v^2}{T} = constant.
