A flask contains Argon and Chlorine in the ratio of 2:1 by mass. The temperature of the mixture is \( 27^{\circ}\text{C} \). The ratio of root mean square speed of molecules of two gases will be : (atomic mass of Argon = 40 u and molecular mass of Chlorine = 71 u)

  1. A 1.78
  2. B 1.33
  3. C 2
  4. D 1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1.33

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{v_{rms, Ar}}{v_{rms, Cl_2}} = \sqrt{\frac{M_{Cl_2}}{M_{Ar}}} \) \( \frac{v_{rms, Ar}}{v_{rms, Cl_2}} = \sqrt{\frac{71}{40}} \) \( \frac{v_{rms, Ar}}{v_{rms, Cl_2}} \approx 1.33 \)
