MCQ
The absolute temperature of a gas is determined by
  • A
    The average momentum of the molecules
  • B
    The velocity of sound in the gas
  • C
    The number of molecules in the gas
  • The mean square velocity of the molecules

Answer

Correct option: D.
The mean square velocity of the molecules
d
The velocity of sound in a gas is given by:

$v _{\text {sound }}=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma RT }{ M }}$

$v _{\text {mean square }}= v _{ RMS }^{2}=\frac{3 RT }{ M }$

Hence, both mean square velocity and velocity of sound are functions of temperature.
