Consider a mixture of gas molecule of types A , B and C having masses m A < m B < m C . The ratio of their root mean square speeds at normal temperature and pressure is:
Options
- Av A = v B = v C = 0
- B1 v A > 1 v B > 1 v C
- Cv A = v B ≠ v C
- D1 v A < 1 v B < 1 v C
Correct answer
D. 1 v A < 1 v B < 1 v C
Step-by-step solution
V rms = 3 R T M m A < m B < m C ⇒ V A > V B > V C ⇒ 1   V A < 1   V B < 1   V C
