Correct answer: 400
- The root mean square speed of gas molecules is given by
So, for a given gas, .
-
Important point: depends only on absolute temperature, not on pressure.
-
Convert temperatures to Kelvin:
- At :
- At :
- Use the proportionality:
Given:
So,
- Comparing with the given form
we get
Final Answer
The derived answer matches the stored correct answer.
