JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th January Morning Slot - No. 28)

A mixture of 2 moles of helium gas (atomic mass = 4 u), and 1 mole of argon gas (atomic mass = 40 u) is kept at 300 K in a container. The ratio of their rms speeds $$\left[ {{{{V_{rms}}\,(helium)} \over {{V_{rms}}\,(\arg on)}}} \right],$$ is close to :
3.16
0.32
0.45
2.24

Explanation

We know,

Vrms = $$\sqrt {{{3RT} \over M}} $$

Where M = molar mass of the gas.

Here temperature is 300 K for both the gas. So temperature is constant. R is also a constant.

$$ \therefore $$   Vrms $$ \propto \,\,\sqrt {{1 \over M}} $$

$$ \therefore $$    $${{{V_{rms}}(helium|)} \over {{V_{rms}}\left( {\arg an)} \right)}} = \sqrt {{{{M_{Ar}}} \over {{M_{He}}}}} $$

= $$\sqrt {{{40} \over 4}} $$

= $$\sqrt {10} $$

= 3.16
