The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions and apply the relevant equations for root mean square (RMS) speed and diffusion rates of gases. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Conditions**: - We have two vessels of equal volume containing Hydrogen (H₂) at 1 atm and Helium (He) at 2 atm, both at the same temperature. 2. **Formula for RMS Speed**: - The RMS speed (U_rms) of a gas is given by the formula: \[ U_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}} \] where \( R \) is the universal gas constant, \( T \) is the temperature, and \( M \) is the molar mass of the gas. 3. **Calculating U_rms for H₂ and He**: - For Hydrogen (H₂), the molar mass \( M_{H2} = 2 \, \text{g/mol} \). - For Helium (He), the molar mass \( M_{He} = 4 \, \text{g/mol} \). - Since both gases are at the same temperature, we can compare their RMS speeds: \[ \frac{U_{rms, H2}}{U_{rms, He}} = \sqrt{\frac{M_{He}}{M_{H2}}} = \sqrt{\frac{4}{2}} = \sqrt{2} \] - Therefore, we can express this as: \[ U_{rms, H2} = \sqrt{2} \cdot U_{rms, He} \] 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - (i) \( U_{rms, H2} = U_{rms, He} \) → **False** (we found \( U_{rms, H2} = \sqrt{2} U_{rms, He} \)). - (ii) \( r_{H2} = \frac{r_{He}}{\sqrt{2}} \) → This is a relation derived from the diffusion rates. Since \( r \) is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass, this is **True**. - (iii) \( U_{rms, H2} = \sqrt{2} U_{rms, He} \) → **True** (as derived above). - (iv) \( r_{H2} = \sqrt{8} \cdot r_{He} \) → **False** (this does not match our derived relations). 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct options are (ii) and (iii). ### Final Answer: The correct statements are: - (ii) \( r_{H2} = \frac{r_{He}}{\sqrt{2}} \) - (iii) \( U_{rms, H2} = \sqrt{2} U_{rms, He} \)
