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 $m/s$):

  • A
    $x / 2$
  • B
    $x$
  • C
    $2x$
  • D
    $4x$
