CBSEENPH12047886

The rms speed (in m/s) of oxygen molecules of the gas at temperature 300 K, is

  • 483

  • 504

  • 377

  • 346

Solution

A.

483

The rms speed is given by

          Vrms3 RTM0

where R = gas constant

          T = Temperature of the gas

   and  M0 = Molecular weight of the gas

               Vrms3 × 8.3 × 30032 × 10-3

               Vrms = 483 m/s
