At room temperature `(300K)`, the rms speed of the molecules of a certain diatomic gas is found to be `1930 m//s`. Can you gusess name of the gas? Find the temperature at which the rms speed is double of the speed in part one `(R = 25//3 J// mol -K)` |

Answer» Correct Answer - `H_(2), 1200K` `V_(rms) = sqrt((3RT)/(M)) rArr 1930` `M = (25 xx3)/(193 xx193) kg//mol = (25 xx 3)/(193xx193) xx 1000g//mol` `= 2.01348 g//mol ~~ 2g//mol` Hence, gas is `H_(2)`. Let `T_(1)` be temperature at which `V_(rms)` is doubled. `2V_(rms) = sqrt((3RT_(1))/(M))` from, equation (i) and (ii), `sqrt((T_(1))/(T)) = 2` `rArr T_(1) = 4T =4 (300)K, T_(1) = 1200K` `V_(rms) =sqrt((3RT)/(M)) rArr 1930 = sqrt((3((25)/(3))300)/(M))` `M = (25 xx3)/(193 xx 193) kg//mol` `=(25 xx3)/(193xx193) xx 100 g//mol, =2.01348 g//mol` `~~ 2g//mol, 2V_(rms) = sqrt((3RT_(1))/(M)) sqrt((T_(1))/(T)) =2` `rArr T_(1) = 4T = 4 (300)K T_(1) = 1200K` |
