If the average speed of a water molecule at 25 $\omicron $ C is 640 m.s - 1 , what is the average speed at 100 $\circ$ C?
A) 572 m.s - 1 
B) 5120 m.s - 1 
C) 801 m.s - 1 
D) 320 m.s - 1 
E) 1280 m.s - 1

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The average speed of gas molecules increases with temperature due to increased kinetic energy. Since 100°C is higher than 25°C, the average speed of water molecules at 100°C would be higher than at 25°C, making 801 m/s the most plausible answer among the given options.
