STANDARD Physics Pressure and Temperature MCQ Question with Solution

A gas is filled in a container at pressure P₀. If the mass of molecules is halved and their rms speed is doubled, then the resultant pressure would be

A

2P₀

B

4P₀

C

$\frac{P₀}{4}$

D

$\frac{P₀}{2}$

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using, P = $\frac{1}{3} \rho v_{rms}^2 = \frac{1}{3} \frac{mN}{V} v_{rms}^2$ . ∴ P ∝ mv_{rms}^2. As m is halved and v_{rms} is doubled then P becomes twice or 2P₀.
