Correct answer: C
- Given data
- Mass of nitrogen gas:
- Initial temperature:
- Gas: nitrogen , so molar mass
- Gas is enclosed in a vessel volume is constant
- Gas constant:
- Relation between rms speed and temperature
For an ideal gas,
If rms speed is doubled,
Squaring both sides,
So,
Thus,
- Find number of moles
- Heat supplied at constant volume
Since the gas is enclosed in a vessel, heating occurs at constant volume.
For diatomic gas (neglecting vibrational modes),
So,
Substitute values:
Now calculate:
Thus,
- Option check
- A: — incorrect
- B: — incorrect
- C: — correct
- D: — incorrect
Therefore, the correct option is C.
