12.Kinetic Theory of Gases
normal
For which gas $rms$ velocity will be maximum
A
$H_2$
B
$He$
C
$N_2$
D
$O_2$
Solution
According to the kinetic energy molecular theory of gases, we have
$u_{r m s}=\sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{M}}$
At a given temperature,
$u_{r m s} \propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}$
Thus, $H_{2}$ gas with the lowest molar mass the maximum $rms$ velocity.
