The RMS velocity of CH ₄, He and SO ₂ are in the ratio of
Options
- A16: 4: 64
- B2: 1: 4
- C2: 4: 1
- D1: 4: 2
Correct answer
C. 2: 4: 1
Step-by-step solution
v_ rms = 3 R T M v_ rms 1 M , where M= molecular mass aligned & v_ rms _ ( CH ₄ ) : v_ rms _ ( He ) : v_ rms _ ( SO ₂ ) & 1 16 : 1 4 : 1 64 1 4 : 1 2 : 1 8 & 2: 4: 1 aligned
