  • A
    $100 \frac{\sqrt{8}}{3}$
  • B
    $100 \sqrt{30}$
  • C
    $100 \sqrt{10}$
  • D
    $\frac{800}{3}$

The root mean square (rms) speed of $X_2$ gas is $x \ m/s$ at a given temperature. When the temperature is doubled, the $X_2$ molecules dissociate completely into atoms. The root mean square speed of the sample of gas then becomes (in $m/s$):
