Concept explainers
To Prove: The ratio of speed is equal to the inverse ratio of the square roots of molecular mass.
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The masses of mixture of the two gases are
Temperature kept constant.
Formula used:
The root mean square formula,
Here,
Calculation:
The rms value for the first case,
And, also for the second gas,
Now, dividing the equation (1) by the equation (2), then the result is,
Conclusion:
Hence, the ratio of speed is equal to the inverse ratio of the square roots of molecular mass.
