At which temperature the r.m.s. velocity of a hydrogen molecule...

At which temperature the r.m.s. velocity of a hydrogen molecule equal to that of an oxygen molecule at 47°C47 ° C ?

Options

  1. A80K80K
  2. B−73K- 73K
  3. C4K4K
  4. D20K20K

Correct answer

D. 20K20K

Step-by-step solution

The r.m.s velocity of the molecule of a gas of molecular weight MM at Kelvin temperature TTis given by, Vrms=3RTM{V}_{rms} = \sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{M}}.

Let MO{M}_{O} and MH{M}_{H} are molecular weight of oxygen and hydrogen and TO{T}_{O} and TH{T}_{H} the corresponding Kelvin temperature at which Vr.m.s{V}_{r . m . s} is same for both,

Vr.m.s=3RTOMO=3RTHMH{V}_{r . m . s} = \sqrt{\dfrac{3R{T}_{O}}{{M}_{O}}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{3R{T}_{H}}{{M}_{H}}}. Hence TOMO=THMH\dfrac{{T}_{O}}{{M}_{O}} = \dfrac{{T}_{H}}{{M}_{H}}

TO=273°C+47°C=320K{T}_{O} = 273 ° C + 47 ° C = 320K, 

MO=32{M}_{O} = 32, 

MH=2⇒TH=232×320=20K{M}_{H} = 2 ⇒ {T}_{H} = \dfrac{2}{32} \times 320 = 20K
