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

At room temperature a diatomic gas is found to have an \(r.m.s.\) speed of \(1930\,ms^{-1}\). The gas is

  1. A \(H_2\)
  2. B \(Cl_2\)
  3. C \(O_2\)
  4. D \(F_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(H_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because \quad \mathrm{C}=\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{M}}}\) \((1930^2)=\frac{3 \times 8.314 \times 300}{M}\) \(\mathrm{M}=\frac{3 \times 8.314 \times 300}{1930 \times 1930} \approx 2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{kg}\) The gas is \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\)
