Chapter 13, Problem 13.94P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Equationthat determines the ratio of $v_{\text{rms}}/v_{\text{sound}}$  has to be derived and values of $v_{\text{rms}}$ and $v_{\text{sound}}$ have to be compared for argon.

Concept Introduction:

The relation between average speed, temperature, and molar mass is as follows:

  $v_{\text{rms}}={\left(\frac{3RT}{M}\right)}^{1/2}$

Here,

$R$ is gas constant.

$T$ represents temperature in kelvins.

$M$ represents the molar mass in $\text{kg/mol}$.
