If the rms speeds of helium and oxygen are equal, then the ratio of the temperatures of helium and oxygen is
Options
- A1: 8
- B2: 1
- C1: 4
- D4: 1
Correct answer
A. 1: 8
Step-by-step solution
rms speed is given by aligned & V _ rms = 3 RT M & M _ He =4 M _ O ₂ =32 & 3 RT _ He M _ He = 3 RT _ O ₂ M _ O ₂ & T _ He T _ O ₂ = M _ He M _ O ₂ = 4 3^2 = 1 8 aligned
