The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which statements are true, we will analyze each statement one by one based on the principles of kinetic theory of gases. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A**: "The ratio of mean speed to the RMS speed is independent of temperature of the gas." - **Analysis**: - The root mean square (RMS) speed (\(v_{rms}\)) is given by the formula: \[ v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}} \] - The mean speed (\(v_{mean}\)) is given by: \[ v_{mean} = \sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi M}} \] - The ratio of mean speed to RMS speed is: \[ \frac{v_{mean}}{v_{rms}} = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi M}}}{\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}} = \frac{\sqrt{8}}{\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{1}}} = \frac{8}{3\pi} \] - This ratio does not depend on temperature (T) or molar mass (M). - **Conclusion**: Statement A is **true**. 2. **Statement B**: "The square of mean speed of the molecule is equal to mean square speed at a certain temperature." - **Analysis**: - The mean speed squared (\(v_{mean}^2\)) is: \[ v_{mean}^2 = \left(\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi M}}\right)^2 = \frac{8RT}{\pi M} \] - The mean square speed (\(v_{rms}^2\)) is: \[ v_{rms}^2 = \left(\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}\right)^2 = \frac{3RT}{M} \] - Clearly, \(v_{mean}^2 \neq v_{rms}^2\) since \(\frac{8}{\pi} \neq 3\). - **Conclusion**: Statement B is **false**. 3. **Statement C**: "Mean translational kinetic energy of a gas molecule at any temperature is independent of molecular mass of gas." - **Analysis**: - The mean translational kinetic energy (KE) is given by: \[ KE = \frac{3}{2}RT \] - This expression shows that kinetic energy depends only on temperature (T) and is independent of the molecular mass (M). - **Conclusion**: Statement C is **true**. 4. **Statement D**: "The difference between RMS speed and mean speed at any temperature for different gases diminishes as larger and larger molar mass are considered." - **Analysis**: - As molar mass increases, both \(v_{rms}\) and \(v_{mean}\) decrease. Since both speeds are inversely proportional to the square root of molar mass, the difference between them becomes negligible as molar mass approaches infinity. - **Conclusion**: Statement D is **true**. ### Final Answer: The true statements are **A, C, and D**. ---
