A mixture of two gases is contained in a vessel. The Gas 1 is monoatomic and gas 2 is diatomic and the ratio of their molecular masses M 1 M 2 = 1 4 . The ratio of root mean square speeds of the molecules of two gases is
Options
- A2
- B4
- C8
- D16
Correct answer
A. 2
Step-by-step solution
From kinetic theory of gases P = 1 3 M V × V rms 2 Since, P and V are constant (same) ∴ M 1 V rms 1 2 = M 2 V rms 2 2 ⇒ V rms 1 2 V rms 2 2 = M 2 M 1 ⇒ V rms 1 V rms 2 = M 2 M 1 = 4 / 1 = 2 given , M 1 M 2 = 1 4
