    The average molecular speed is greatest in which of the following gas samples?

    A)  1.0 mol of\[{{O}_{2}}\]at 560 K

    B)  0.50 mol of Neat 500 K

    C)  0.20 mol of\[C{{O}_{2}}\]at 440 K

    D)  2.0 mol of He at 140 K

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Average molecular speed\[=\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi m}}\]is dependent on T and M. Thus, greater the value of\[\sqrt{\frac{T}{M}},\]greater the molecular speed. Thus, \[{{v}_{av}}\propto \sqrt{\frac{T}{M}}\] \[{{O}_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{560}{32}}=4.18\] \[Ne=\sqrt{\frac{500}{10}}=5.0\] \[C{{O}_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{440}{44}}=3.16\] \[He=\sqrt{\frac{140}{4}}-5.91\]
