A flask contains argon and oxygen in the ratio of 3:23: 2 in mass and the mixture is kept at 27°C27 ° C. The ratio of their average kinetic energy per molecule respectively

Options

  1. A3:53: 5
  2. B9:49: 4
  3. C2:32: 3
  4. D1:11: 1

Correct answer

A. 3:53: 5

Step-by-step solution

Given here, mArmO=32\dfrac{{m}_{Ar}}{{m}_{O}} = \dfrac{3}{2}.

As argon is monoatomic gas, so it has three degree of freedom (f)\left(f\right) and oxygen is a diatomic gas, so its degree of freedom is five.

We know that average kinetic energy per molecule is given by KE=f2kTKE = \dfrac{f}{2}kT, where, kk is Boltzmann's constant and TT is temperature.

Here, T=27°CT = 27 ° C is fixed for both gas.

So, (KE)Ar(KE)O=32kT52kT=35\dfrac{{\left(KE\right)}_{Ar}}{{\left(KE\right)}_{O}} = \dfrac{\dfrac{3}{2}kT}{\dfrac{5}{2}kT} = \dfrac{3}{5}
