A sample contains mixture of helium and oxygen gas. The ratio of root mean square speed of helium and oxygen in the sample is _______.

  1. A \(\frac{1}{32}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{1}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{rms}} =\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{w}}}}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{O}_2}}{\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{He}}}\) \(=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{w}, \mathrm{He}}}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{w}, \mathrm{O}_2}}}\)…
