    The root mean square velocity of the molecules in a sample of helium\[\frac{5}{7}\] th that of the molecules in a Sample of hydrogen at\[{{0}^{\circ }}C\]. Then, the Temperature of helium sample is about:

    A)  \[{{100}^{\circ }}C\]                       

    B)  \[{{273}^{\circ }}C\]

    C)  \[0\,K\]                                              

    D)  \[{{0}^{\circ }}C\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Square-root of the mean-square velocity of the gas molecules is called the root mean square velocity and is denoted by \[{{v}_{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}\] Where \[T\]is temperature, M is molecular weight, R is gas constant. Let \[{{v}_{H}}\] and \[{{v}_{He}}\] be velocities of hydrogen and Helium respectively. T and T? be the temperature of hydrogen and helium respectively                                                                 \[{{v}_{He}}=\frac{5}{7}{{v}_{H}}\]                                                 \[\sqrt{\frac{3RT'}{{{M}_{He}}}}=\frac{5}{7}\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{{{M}_{H}}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[\sqrt{\frac{T'}{T}}=\frac{5}{7}\sqrt{\frac{{{M}_{He}}}{{{M}_{H}}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[\frac{T'}{T}={{\left( \frac{5}{7} \right)}^{2}}\frac{{{M}_{He}}}{{{M}_{H}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[\frac{T'}{T}=\frac{25\times 2}{49\times 1}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[T'=273\,\,K\] In Centigrade                                                 \[T'=273-273={{0}^{\circ }}C\] Note: Faster the motion of molecules of a gas, Higher will be the temperature of the gas.
