For gaseous state, if most probable speed is denoted by C * , average speed by C ̄ and root mean square speed by C, then for a large number of molecules the ratios of these speeds are
Options
- AC * : C ̄ : C = 1 : 1.225 : 1.128
- BC * : C ̄ : C = 1.128 : 1.225 : 1
- CC * : C ̄ : C = 1 : 1.128 : 1.225
- DC * : C ̄ : C = 1.225 : 1.128 : 1
Correct answer
C. C * : C ̄ : C = 1 : 1.128 : 1.225
Step-by-step solution
C * = most probable speed = 2 R T M C ̄ = average speed = 8 R T π M C = Root mean square speed or rms = 3 R T M C * < C ̄ < C C * : C ̄ : C = 1 : 4 π : 3 2 = 1 : 1.128 : 1.225
