Identify the temperature at which O₂ has the highest velocity. A) 325 K B) 500 K C) 650 K D) 1000 K E) 900 K

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The velocity of a gas particle is directly proportional to the square root of its temperature (as per the kinetic theory of gases). Therefore, the higher the temperature, the higher the velocity. Among the given options, 1000 K is the highest temperature, so at this temperature, O₂ would have the highest velocity.
