The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the molar masses of gases A, B, and C based on their root mean square (r.m.s) speeds given in the ratio 1 : 1/√2 : 1/√3. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the formula for r.m.s speed**: The r.m.s speed (V_rms) of a gas is given by the formula: \[ V_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}} \] where \( R \) is the universal gas constant, \( T \) is the temperature, and \( M \) is the molar mass of the gas. 2. **Set up the r.m.s speed ratios**: For gases A, B, and C, we denote their r.m.s speeds as: \[ V_A : V_B : V_C = 1 : \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} : \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] 3. **Express the ratios in terms of molar masses**: Since all gases are at the same temperature, we can express their r.m.s speeds in terms of their molar masses: \[ \frac{V_A}{V_B} = \sqrt{\frac{M_B}{M_A}}, \quad \frac{V_A}{V_C} = \sqrt{\frac{M_C}{M_A}}, \quad \frac{V_B}{V_C} = \sqrt{\frac{M_C}{M_B}} \] 4. **Square the ratios**: Squaring the ratios gives us: \[ \left(\frac{V_A}{V_B}\right)^2 = \frac{M_B}{M_A}, \quad \left(\frac{V_A}{V_C}\right)^2 = \frac{M_C}{M_A}, \quad \left(\frac{V_B}{V_C}\right)^2 = \frac{M_C}{M_B} \] 5. **Substituting the given ratios**: From the given ratio of r.m.s speeds: \[ \frac{V_A}{V_B} = 1, \quad \frac{V_A}{V_C} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, \quad \frac{V_B}{V_C} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] We can equate these ratios: \[ 1^2 = \frac{M_B}{M_A} \implies M_A = M_B \] \[ \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^2 = \frac{M_C}{M_A} \implies M_C = \frac{M_A}{3} \] \[ \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 = \frac{M_C}{M_B} \implies M_C = \frac{M_B}{2} \] 6. **Finding the ratios**: From \( M_A = M_B \) and \( M_C = \frac{M_A}{3} \): - Let \( M_A = x \) - Then \( M_B = x \) - And \( M_C = \frac{x}{3} \) The ratio of molar masses \( M_A : M_B : M_C \) becomes: \[ x : x : \frac{x}{3} = 1 : 1 : \frac{1}{3} = 3 : 3 : 1 \] 7. **Final ratio**: To express the ratio in a more standard form, we can multiply through by 3: \[ M_A : M_B : M_C = 3 : 3 : 1 \] ### Conclusion: The molar masses of gases A, B, and C are in the ratio \( 1 : 2 : 3 \).

To solve the problem, we need to find the molar masses of gases A, B, and C based on their root mean square (r.m.s) speeds given in the ratio 1 : 1/√2 : 1/√3. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the formula for r.m.s speed**: The r.m.s speed (V_rms) of a gas is given by the formula: \[ V_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}} ...
