    At room temperature, the rms speed of the molecules of a certain diatomic gas is found to be 1933 m/s. The gas is

    A)  \[{{H}_{2}}\]             

    B)  \[{{F}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[C{{l}_{2}}\]             

    D)  \[{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     The velocity of gas at temperature T is given by \[v=\frac{\sqrt{3RT}}{M}\] where, R is gas constant and M the molecular weight. Given, \[R=8.3\text{ }J/mol-K,\] \[T=27{}^\circ C+2736=300K\] \[v=1933m/s\] \[\therefore \] \[M=\frac{3RT}{{{v}^{2}}}=\frac{3\times 8.3\times 300}{{{(1933)}^{2}}}\] \[\therefore \] \[=\frac{7470}{3736489}\] \[\approx 0.001999\] \[\therefore \] \[M\approx 2\times {{10}^{-3}}kg\] which is molecular weight of\[{{H}_{2}}\].
