The r.m.s. velocity of CO ₂ at a temperature T (in kelvin) is x ~cm ~s ⁻¹ . At what temperature (in kelvin), the r.m.s. velocity of nitrous oxide would be 4 x ~cm ~s ⁻¹ ? (Atomic weights of C , N and O are respectively 12,14 and 16 )
Options
- A16 T
- B2 T
- C4 T
- D32 T
Correct answer
A. 16 T
Step-by-step solution
r CO ₂= 3 R T_ CO ₂ M_ CO ₂ aligned & r ~N ₂ O = 3 R T_ N ₂ O M_ N ₂ O & M_ CO ₂ = 44, M_ N ₂ O =44 & r CO ₂ r ~N ₂ O = T_ CO ₂ T_ N ₂ O & x 4 x = T_ C ₂ T_ N ₂ O aligned Squaring on both the sides, T_ N ₂ O =16 T_ OO ₂
