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