    The speed of sound in hydrogen at NTP is 1270 m/s. Then, the speed in a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio 4:1 by volume will be

    A)  317 m/s

    B)  635 m/s

    C)  830 m/s

    D)  950 m/s

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The volume of hydrogen and oxygen in a mixture is\[4:1\]. So let V be the volume of oxygen. The volume of hydrogen will be\[4V\]if\[{{\rho }_{m}}\]be the density of mixture, then \[{{\rho }_{m}}=\frac{4V\times 1+V\times 1\,s}{5m}=4\] \[V\propto {{\left( \frac{1}{\rho } \right)}^{1/2}}\] Velocity in mixture\[=\frac{1270}{{{(4)}^{3/2}}}=635\text{ }m/s\]
