Correct answer: A, B, D
- Write the standard formulas
For an ideal gas at equilibrium:
-
Root mean square speed: where is absolute temperature and is molar mass.
For a single molecule form, this is also so clearly .
-
Average translational kinetic energy per molecule:
Hence, it depends only on temperature, not on molecular mass.
- Check option A
Option A says: is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass.
From we get (at constant temperature).
So, A is correct.
- Check option B
Option B says: is doubled when its temperature is increased four times.
Since if temperature becomes , then
So, B is correct.
- Check option C
Option C says: is doubled when its temperature is increased four times.
But If temperature becomes , then not double.
So, C is incorrect.
- Check option D
Option D says: at a given temperature does not depend on its molecular mass.
From it depends only on .
So, D is correct.
