Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{1}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{rms}} =\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{w}}}}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{O}_2}}{\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{He}}}\) \(=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{w}, \mathrm{He}}}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{w}, \mathrm{O}_2}}}\)
\(=\sqrt{\frac{4}{32}}=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{He}}}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{O}_2}} =\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{1}\)
