    As the temperature increases, the average velocity increases. So, the collisions are faster.

    Correct Option: B

    As the temperature increases, the average velocity increases. So, the collisions are faster.



  1. The molecules of a given mass of a gas have r.m.s. velocity of 200 ms–1 at 27°C and 1.0 × 105 Nm–2 pressure. When the temperature and pressure of the gas are respectively, 127°C and 0.05 × 105 Nm–2, the r.m.s. velocity of its molecules in ms–1 is :

    Here v1 = 200 m/s;
    temperature T1 = 27°C = 27 + 273 = 300 k
    temperature T2 = 127° C = 127 + 273 = 400 k, V = ?
