Given below are two statements.

STATEMENT - 1: Each molecule of a gas moves with the same rms speed if the temperature of the gas is constant.

STATEMENT - 2: The rms speed of molecules of a gas is equal to \(\sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{M}}\), where T and M are the temperature and the molar mass of the gas, respectively and R the universal gas constant.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. Statement - 1 is True, Statement - 2 is True; Statement - 2 is a correct explanation for Statement - 1
  2. Statement - 1 is True, Statement - 2 is True; Statement - 2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement - 1
