Question

At what temperature the molecules of nitrogen will have the same rms velocity as the molecules of oxygen at 127oC

Options

A.457oC
B.273oC
C.350oC
D.77oC

Solution

Rms velocity of gas is
Vrms = 1.73
M = molecular mass
For oxygen,M = 16 × 2,
T = 127oC = 127 + 273 = 400 K
For nitrogen, M = 17 × 2, T = ?
⇒     1.73 = 1.73
⇒    
⇒    

⇒   TN2 = × 400 = 350K
TN2 = 350K - 273K = 77o C
