JEE Advanced2012PhysicsKinetic Theory of GasesActual
A mixture of 2 moles of helium gas (atomic mass =4 amu ) and 1 mole of argon gas (atomic mass =40 amu ) is kept at 300 ~K in a container. The ratio of the rms speeds ( v_ rms ( helium ) v_ rms ( argon ) ) is
Options
- A0.32
- B0.45
- C2.24
- D3.16
Correct answer
D. 3.16
Step-by-step solution
Using V_ rms = 3 R T M V_ r m s 1 M v_ rms (helium) v_ rms (argon) = M_ argon M_ helium = 40 4 = 10 3.16
