A flask has 10 molecules out of which four molecules are moving at `7 ms^(-1)` and the remaining ones are moving at same speed of `X ms^(-1)`. If rms of the gas is `5 ms^(-1)`, what is `X` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3
`v_(rms) (5 ms^(-1))`
`= sqrt((4 xx 7^(2) xx 6x^(2))/(4 + 6)) = sqrt((196 + 6 x^(2))/(10))`
Squaring both sides
`25 = (196 + 6x^(2))/(10) " or " 250 = 196 + 6x^(2)`
`:. 6x^(2) = 54 " or " x^(2) = 9 " or " x = 3`
