The most probable speed of the molecules...

The most probable speed of the molecules in a gas at temperature `T_2` is equal to the average speed of the molecules at temperature `T_1 ` Find `T_2 //T_1`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio \( \frac{T_2}{T_1} \) given that the most probable speed of the molecules in a gas at temperature \( T_2 \) is equal to the average speed of the molecules at temperature \( T_1 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Most Probable Speed**: The most probable speed \( v_{mp} \) of gas molecules at temperature \( T_2 \) is given by the formula: \[ v_{mp} = \sqrt{\frac{2RT_2}{M}} ...
