12.Kinetic Theory of Gases
normal

A mixture of $2\, moles$ of helium gas (atomic mass $= 4\, amu$) and $1\, mole$ of argon gas (atomic mass $= 40\, amu$) is kept at $300\, K$ in a container. The ratio of the $r.m.s.$ speeds $\left( {\frac{{{v_{rms\,}}{\rm{(helium)}}\,}}{{{v_{rms}}\,{\rm{(argon)}}}}} \right)$ is

A

$0.32$

B

$0.45$

C

$2.24$

D

$3.16$

Solution

$\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{ms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{M}}}$

Ratio $=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{ar}}}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{He}}}}=\sqrt{10}$
