A box contains equal number of molecules...

A box contains equal number of molecules of hydrogen and oxygen. If there is a fine hole in the box, then which gas will leak rapidly ? Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`V_(rms)xx(1)/(sqrt(M))` so `H_(2)` will leak more rapidly.
Because of its smaller molecular mass.

Three vessels of equal capacity have gases at the same temperature and pressure. The first vessel contains neon (monatomic), the second contains chlorine (diatomic), and the third contains uranium hexafluoride (polyatomic). Do the vessels contain equal number of respective molecules? Is the root mean square speed of molecules the same in the three cases? If not, in which case is vms the largest?
