The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the root mean square (rms) speeds of two gases A and B, given the relationship between their temperatures and molecular masses. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understand the formula for rms speed**: The rms speed \( C \) of a gas is given by the formula: \[ C = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}} \] where \( R \) is the universal gas constant, \( T \) is the temperature, and \( M \) is the molecular mass. 2. **Write the expressions for \( C_A \) and \( C_B \)**: For gas A: \[ C_A = \sqrt{\frac{3RT_A}{M_A}} \] For gas B: \[ C_B = \sqrt{\frac{3RT_B}{M_B}} \] 3. **Find the ratio \( \frac{C_A}{C_B} \)**: \[ \frac{C_A}{C_B} = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{3RT_A}{M_A}}}{\sqrt{\frac{3RT_B}{M_B}}} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{C_A}{C_B} = \sqrt{\frac{T_A}{M_A} \cdot \frac{M_B}{T_B}} \] 4. **Use the given relationship**: We are given: \[ \frac{T_A}{M_A} = 4 \cdot \frac{T_B}{M_B} \] Substitute this into the ratio: \[ \frac{C_A}{C_B} = \sqrt{\left(4 \cdot \frac{T_B}{M_B}\right) \cdot \frac{M_B}{T_B}} \] 5. **Simplify the expression**: The \( T_B \) terms cancel out: \[ \frac{C_A}{C_B} = \sqrt{4} = 2 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the ratio \( \frac{C_A}{C_B} \) is equal to **2**. ---
