    At a certain temperature, if the r.m.s. velocity of\[{{O}_{2}}\]is 400 m/s then at the same temperature the r.m.s. velocity of\[{{H}_{2}}\]molecules will be

    A)  400 m/s              

    B)  1600 m/s

    C)  3200 m/s            

    D)  6400 m/s

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    We know that, \[{{v}_{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{v}_{rms}}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}\](As T is constant) \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{({{v}_{rms}})}_{{{O}_{2}}}}}{{{({{v}_{rms}})}_{{{H}_{2}}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{M}_{{{H}_{2}}}}}{{{M}_{{{O}_{2}}}}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{400}{{{({{v}_{rms}})}_{{{H}_{2}}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{2}{32}}=\frac{1}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{({{v}_{rms}})}_{{{H}_{2}}}}=4\times 400=1600\,m\text{/}s\]
