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

The ratio of vapour densities of two gases at the same temperature is \(\frac{4}{25}\), then the ratio of r.m.s. velocities will be:

  1. A \(\frac{25}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{5}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{4}{25}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{5}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(Vapor density) \(=\left(\frac{\text { Molar mass }}{2}\right)\), I.e, \(v d=\frac{M}{2}\) \(\begin{aligned} & v_{\mathrm{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{M}} \\ & \frac{v_2}{v_1}=\sqrt{\frac{M_1}{M_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{25}{4}}=\frac{5}{2}\end{aligned}\)
