If the \(rms\) speed of oxygen molecules at \(0^{\circ} {C}\) is \(160\; {m} / {s}\), find the rms speed of hydrogen molecules at \(0^{\circ} {C}\). (In \({m}/{s}\))

  1. A \(640\)
  2. B \(40\)
  3. C \(80\)
  4. D \(332\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(640\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({V}_{{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 {KT}}{{M}}}\) \(\frac{\left({V}_{{ms}}\right)_{{O}_{2}}}{\left({V}_{{mms}}\right)_{{H}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{M}_{{H}_{2}}}{{M}_{{O}_{2}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{2}{32}}\) \(\left({V}_{{rms}}\right)_{{H}_{2}}=4 \times\left({V}_{{rms}}\right)_{{O}_{2}}\)…
