JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 12 . kinetic theory of gases

At \(300\,K\), the rms speed of oxygen molecules is \(\sqrt{\frac{\alpha+5}{\alpha}}\) times to that of its average speed in the gas. Then, the value of \(\alpha\) will be (used \(\pi=\frac{22}{7}\) )

  1. A \(32\)
  2. B \(28\)
  3. C \(24\)
  4. D \(27\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(28\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\sqrt{\frac{3 RT }{ M }}=\sqrt{\frac{\alpha+5}{\alpha}} \sqrt{\frac{8}{\pi} \frac{ RT }{ M }}\) \(3=\frac{\alpha+5}{\alpha} \frac{8}{\pi}\) \(\alpha=28\)
