The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that different gases at the same conditions of temperature and pressure have the same root mean square (RMS) velocity. - The formula for root mean square velocity (VRMS) is given by: \[ V_{RMS} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}} \] where \( R \) is the gas constant, \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin, and \( M \) is the molar mass of the gas. 2. **Analyzing the Assertion**: - At the same temperature (T) and pressure (P), the value of \( R \) is constant, but the molar mass \( M \) varies for different gases. - Therefore, since \( M \) is different for different gases, the root mean square velocity \( V_{RMS} \) will also be different for different gases. - Thus, the assertion is **false**. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that the root mean square velocity lies between the average velocity and the most probable velocity. - The formulas for average velocity (V_avg) and most probable velocity (V_mp) are: \[ V_{avg} = \sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi M}} \] \[ V_{mp} = \sqrt{\frac{2RT}{M}} \] - To compare these velocities, we can derive their ratios: \[ V_{mp} : V_{avg} : V_{RMS} = 1 : 1.128 : 1.224 \] - This indicates that \( V_{RMS} \) is indeed the highest, while \( V_{mp} \) is the lowest. 4. **Analyzing the Reason**: - Since \( V_{RMS} \) is not between \( V_{avg} \) and \( V_{mp} \) but is actually the highest, the reason is also **false**. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are false. Therefore, the correct option is that both statements are incorrect. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are false. ---
