Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 32

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the question, The root-mean-square velocity is defined as the square -root of the mean of the square of different velocity possesses by molecule of a gas at a given temperature. Root-mean-square velocity of a diatomic gas = 3RTM  or = 3RTM1/2 For…
