Uranium has two isotopes of masses 235 and 238 wits. If both of them are present in wranium hexafluoride gas, find the percentage ratio of difference in rms velocities of two isotopes to the rms velocity of heavier isotope.

  1. A 1.64
  2. B 0.064
  3. C 0.64
  4. D 6.4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0.64

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Mass of first uranium isotope \(=238\) units Mass of second uranium isotope \(=235\) units We know that, \[ \begin{aligned} & v_{\text {rms }} & =\sqrt{\frac{\gamma R T}{M}} \\ \Rightarrow & v_{\text {rms }} & \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}} \end{aligned} \] So, the percentage…
