Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2000 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) and \(4.0 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, root mean square \((\mathrm{rms})\) speed of \(\mathrm{O}_2\) is \(500 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) at a constant temperature. Root mean square speed in given by the following expression \(u_{\mathrm{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{M w}}\) For \(\mathrm{H}_2\) gas,…
