Define most probable speeds of gas molecule. Give their interrelationship.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Most probable velocity: the velocity possessed by maximum number of molecules is called most probable velocity. It is denoted by `C_p.C_P=sqrt((2RT)/M)`
Relation between different velocities:
`C_p.overlineC:C=sqrt((2RT)/M):sqrt((8RT)/pi):sqrt((3RT)/M).`
`sqrt2:sqrt(8/pi):sqrt3`
`=1: 1.128 1.224`
