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

The \(rms\) speeds of the molecules of Hydrogen, Oxygen and Carbondioxide at the same temperature are \({V}_{{H}}, {V}_{0}\) and \({V}_{{C}}\) respectively then

  1. A \({V}_{{H}}>{V}_{0}>{V}_{{C}}\)
  2. B \({V}_{{C}}>{V}_{0}>{V}_{{H}}\)
  3. C \({V}_{{H}}={V}_{0}>{V}_{{C}}\)
  4. D \({V}_{{H}}={V}_{{O}}={V}_{{C}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \({V}_{{H}}>{V}_{0}>{V}_{{C}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({V}_{{RMS}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 {RT}}{{M}_{{W}}}}\) At the same temperature \({V}_{{RMS}} \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{{M}_{{w}}}}\) \(\Rightarrow {V}_{{H}}>{V}_{0}>{V}_{{C}}\)
