The correct Answer is:
To find the speed of sound in hydrogen gas at 27°C, we can use the formula for the speed of sound in a gas: \[ V = \sqrt{\frac{\gamma R T}{M}} \] Where: - \( V \) = speed of sound - \( \gamma \) = ratio of specific heats \( \frac{C_p}{C_v} \) - \( R \) = universal gas constant - \( T \) = absolute temperature in Kelvin - \( M \) = molar mass of the gas in kg/mol ### Step 1: Convert the given temperature to Kelvin The temperature in Celsius is given as 27°C. To convert this to Kelvin: \[ T = 27 + 273 = 300 \, K \] ### Step 2: Identify the values for \( \gamma \), \( R \), and \( M \) From the problem statement: - \( \gamma = 1.4 \) (for hydrogen) - \( R = 8.31 \, \text{J/(mol·K)} \) - The molar mass of hydrogen \( H_2 \) is \( 2 \, \text{g/mol} = 2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg/mol} \) ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the speed of sound formula Now we can substitute the values into the formula: \[ V = \sqrt{\frac{1.4 \times 8.31 \times 300}{2 \times 10^{-3}}} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the value inside the square root First, calculate the numerator: \[ 1.4 \times 8.31 \times 300 = 3492.6 \] Now, calculate the denominator: \[ 2 \times 10^{-3} = 0.002 \] Now, divide the numerator by the denominator: \[ \frac{3492.6}{0.002} = 1746300 \] ### Step 5: Take the square root Now, take the square root of the result: \[ V = \sqrt{1746300} \approx 1321 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer The speed of sound in hydrogen gas at 27°C is approximately: \[ V \approx 1321 \, \text{m/s} \] ---

To find the speed of sound in hydrogen gas at 27°C, we can use the formula for the speed of sound in a gas: \[ V = \sqrt{\frac{\gamma R T}{M}} \] Where: - \( V \) = speed of sound - \( \gamma \) = ratio of specific heats \( \frac{C_p}{C_v} \) - \( R \) = universal gas constant ...
