Questions  

A cylinder contains a mixture of helium and argon gas in equilibrium at 1500C. what is the rms speed of each type of molecule?

a
21 km/s
b
1.62 km/s
c
4.62 km/s
d
3.24 km/s

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Rms speed of ideal gas molecule is given by  Vrms=3kTm=3×1.38×10-38×(273+150)4×1.67×10-27 m/s =1.62 km/sWe find root-mean square velocity for helium, vrms = 1.62 km/s
