Show that the rms velocity of `O_(2)` molecule is `sqrt(2)` times that of `SO_(2)`. Atomic weight of sulphur is 32 and atomic weight of oxygen is 16.

Answer» Correct Answer - `sqrt(2)C_(SO_2)`
As rms velocity at a given temperature `prop 1/(sqrt(M))`
`:. (C_(OXY))/(C_(SO_2)) = sqrt((M_(SO_2))/(M_(OXY))) = sqrt((32 + 2 xx 16)/(32)) = sqrt(2)`
`C_(OXY)= sqrt(2)C_(SO_2)`.
