If the distribution of molecular speeds of a gas is as per the figure shown below, then the ratio of the most probable, the average, and the root mean square speeds, respectively, is

- A
- B
- C
- D
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Due to symmetrical graph given, the average value of velocities will be at the middle, symmetrical velocity
which is also most probable velocity. While calculating rms speed, we have to take average of square of speeds and its root. In square of
speeds, higher speeds will give more contribution so the value will be more than the average value.
which is also most probable velocity. While calculating rms speed, we have to take average of square of speeds and its root. In square of

- Paragraph:
Chemical reactions involve interaction of atoms and molecules. A large number of atoms/molecules (approximately \(6.023 \times 10^{23}\) ) are present in a few grams of any chemical compound varying with their atomic/molecular masses. To handle such large numbers conveniently, the mole concept was introduced. This concept has implications in diverse areas such as analytical chemistry, biochemistry, electrochemistry and radiochemistry. The following example illustrates a typical case, involving chemical/electrochemical reaction, which requires a clear understanding of the mole concept.
A \(4.0\) molar aqueous solution of \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) is prepared and \(500 \mathrm{~mL}\) of this solution is electrolysed. This leads to the evolution of chlorine gas at one of electrodes (atomic mass: \(\mathrm{Na}=23, \mathrm{Hg}=200 ; 1\) faraday \(=96500\) coulombs).
