If the root mean square velocity of hydrogen molecule at a given temperature and pressure is 2 km s - 1 , the root mean square velocity of oxygen at the same condition in km s - 1 is:
Options
- A2 . 0
- B0 . 5
- C1 . 5
- D1 . 0
Correct answer
B. 0 . 5
Step-by-step solution
Root mean square velocity is given by, V r m s = 3 R T M Therefore, V 1 V 2 = M 2 M 1 ⇒ 2 V 2 = 32 2 ⇒ V 2 = 0 . 5 km s - 1
