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, which is given by: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{\gamma R T}{M}} \] where: - \( v \) is the speed of sound, - \( \gamma \) is the adiabatic index (ratio of specific heats), - \( R \) is the universal gas constant, - \( T \) is the absolute temperature in Kelvin, - \( M \) is the molar mass of the gas in kg/mol. ### Step 1: Convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin Given: - Temperature \( T = 27^\circ C \) To convert Celsius to Kelvin, we use the formula: \[ T(K) = T(°C) + 273 \] So, \[ T = 27 + 273 = 300 \, K \] ### Step 2: Identify the values needed for the calculation From the problem statement, we have: - Molar mass of hydrogen \( M = 2 \, kg/(K \cdot mol) \) - Universal gas constant \( R = 8.31 \times 10^3 \, J/(kg \cdot K \cdot mol) \) - Adiabatic index for diatomic molecules \( \gamma = 1.4 \) ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the speed of sound formula Now we can substitute the values into the formula: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{\gamma R T}{M}} = \sqrt{\frac{1.4 \times 8.31 \times 10^3 \times 300}{2}} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the numerator First, calculate the numerator: \[ 1.4 \times 8.31 \times 10^3 \times 300 = 1.4 \times 2493000 = 3480200 \] ### Step 5: Divide by the molar mass Now divide this result by the molar mass: \[ \frac{3480200}{2} = 1740100 \] ### Step 6: Take the square root Finally, take the square root to find the speed of sound: \[ v = \sqrt{1740100} \approx 1321 \, m/s \] ### Final Answer: The speed of sound in hydrogen at 27°C is approximately \( 1321 \, m/s \). ---
