Question #160230

Two samples of the same ideal gas have the same pressure and density. Sample B has twice the volume of sample A.
What is the rms speed of the molecules in sample B?

Expert's answer

Given pressure and volume is same, then ratio of rms speed will be 1.

As rms velocity is given by Vrms=3kTM=3PρV_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}=\sqrt{\frac{3P}{\rho}} , so by the formula, both sample will have same rms velocity.
