  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{15}{2}} \ km/s$
  • B
    $\sqrt{15} \ km/s$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{15}{4}} \ km/s$
  • D

For a mixture of three different gases with molecular masses $m_1 > m_2 > m_3$ at the same temperature,what is the relationship between their root mean square speeds $(v_{rms})$ and average kinetic energies $(\bar{K})$?

In two vessels of the same volume,atomic hydrogen and helium at pressures of $1\, atm$ and $2\, atm$ are filled,respectively. If the temperature of both samples is the same,then the average speed of hydrogen atoms $\langle C_H \rangle$ will be related to that of helium $\langle C_{He} \rangle$ as:

The root mean square speed of molecules of nitrogen gas at $27^{\circ} C$ is approximately $.......m/s$. (Given: mass of a nitrogen molecule $= 4.6 \times 10^{-26} \, kg$ and Boltzmann constant $k_{B} = 1.4 \times 10^{-23} \, J K^{-1}$)

The temperature of a gas is $-50^{\circ}C$. To what temperature should the gas be heated so that the $rms$ speed is increased by $3$ times?
