The molecules of a given mass of gas have rms velocity of at and pressure. When the temperature and pressure of the gas are increased to, respectively, and , the rms velocity of its molecules in will become:
The root mean square (rms) velocity () of ideal gas molecules is given by the formula , where is the universal gas constant, is the absolute temperature, and is the molar mass . The pressure () does not explicitly affect if the temperature is known, as depends solely on for a given gas.
Given:
Calculation: Using the proportionality : .
