Which of the following gases has the highest value of RMS velocity at 298 ~K ?
Options
- ACH ₄
- BCO
- CCl ₂
- DCO ₂
Correct answer
A. CH ₄
Step-by-step solution
RMS-velocity of a gas v_ rms = 3 R T M Hence, higher the molecular weigth of a gas, lower will be its RMS-velocity v_ rms 1 M CH ₄ (mol. weight =16 ) has highest RMS-velocity.
