The rms speed of oxygen and room temperature is about 500 ~ms ⁻¹ . The rms speed of hydrogen at the same temperature is about
Options
- A125 ~m ~s ⁻¹
- B2000 ~m ~s ⁻¹
- C8000 ~m ~s ⁻¹
- D500 ~m ~s ⁻¹
Correct answer
B. 2000 ~m ~s ⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
We have aligned & V _ rms = 3 RT M ₀ , where M ₀= molecular mass & V _ rms 1 M ₀ aligned ( V _ rms )_ H ₂ = ( V _ rms )_ 0.2 ( 2 32 )^ 1 / 2 =500 4=2000 ~m / s
