At 600 K , the root mean square ( rms ) speed of gas X (molar mass = 40 ) is equal to the most probable speed of gas Y at 90 K . The molar mass of the gas Y is _____ g mol – 1 . (Nearest integer)
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
The root mean square velocity V rms = 3 RT M The most probable speed V mp = 2 RT M T = Temperature in Kelvin M = Molar mass V rms   of   X V mp   of   Y = 3 T X M Y 2 T Y M X 1 = 3 × 600 × M Y 2 × 90 × 40 = M Y 4 M Y = 4   gm   mol - 1
