If the root mean square velocity of hydrogen molecule at a given temperature and pressure is \(2 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}\), the root mean square velocity of oxygen at the same condition in \(\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{s}\) is _______.

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(V_{1 \mathrm{~ms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{M}}}\)

\(\frac{\mathrm{V}_1}{\mathrm{~V}_2}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{M}_2}{\mathrm{M}_1}} \Rightarrow \frac{2}{\mathrm{~V}_2}=\sqrt{\frac{32}{2}}\)

\(\mathrm{~V}_2=0.5 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}\)
