The relation between root mean square speed v rms and most probable speed v p for the molar mass M of oxygen gas molecule at the temperature of 300 K will be
Options
- Av rms = 2 3 v p
- Bv rms = 1 3 v p
- Cv rms = 3 2 v p
- Dv rms = v p
Correct answer
C. v rms = 3 2 v p
Step-by-step solution
RMS speed of O 2 gas is v rms = 3 R T M = 3 R T 32 and most probable speed of O 2 gas is v most   probable = 2 R T M = 2 R T 32 . Here temperature is same. Thus, v rms v most   probable = 3 R T 32 2 R T 32 = 3 2 Hence, v rms = 3 2 v p
