Oxygen and hydrogen gas are at same temperature and pressure. And the oxygen molecule has 16 times the mass of hydrogen molecule. Then the ratio of their rms speed is

A

2

B

4

C

`1/4`

D

`1/2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`C=sqrt((3RT)/M)" "thereforeCprop1/sqrtM`
`thereforeC_(O)/C_(H)=sqrt(1/16)=1/4`
