    AT NTP the rms velocity of hydrogen molecules is 1.8 km/s. Under the same conditions the rms velocity of oxygen molecules in km/s will be:

    A)  \[16\times 1.8\text{ }km/s\] 

    B)         \[8\times 1.8\text{ }km/s\]       

    C)  \[4\times 1.8\text{ }km/s\]    

    D)  \[1/4\times 1.8\text{ }km/s\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    From the relation of rms velocity, we know \[{{c}_{rms}}\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}\] Hence, \[\frac{{{c}_{rms(H)}}}{{{c}_{rms(H)}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1/{{M}_{H}}}{1/{{M}_{O}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{M}_{O}}}{{{M}_{H}}}}\] \[=\sqrt{\frac{32}{2}}=\sqrt{16}=4\] \[{{c}_{rms}}=\frac{{{c}_{rms(H)}}}{4}=\frac{1}{4}\times 1.8\,km/s\]
