Root mean square speed V=\sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{M \omega}}

when the temperature is doubled, the new temperature T^{1}=2 T and oxygen \left(\mathrm{O}_{2}\right) dissociates in atomic oxygen, then molecular weight,

\begin{aligned} M_{\omega}^{\prime} & =\frac{M_{\omega}}{2} \\ V^{\prime} & =\sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{M_{\omega}}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 R(2 T)}{(M \omega / 2)}}=\sqrt{4\left(\frac{3 R T}{M \omega}\right)} \\ \Rightarrow V^{\prime}=2 \mathrm{~V} & =\sqrt[2]{\frac{3 R T}{M_{\omega}}} \end{aligned}
