Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{rms}}  =\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{w}}}}\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{O}_2}}{\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{He}}}\) \(=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{w}, \mathrm{He}}}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{w}, \mathrm{O}_2}}}\)

\(=\sqrt{\frac{4}{32}}=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\)

\(\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{He}}}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{O}_2}} =\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{1}\)
