    Two containers of same volume are filled with molecular hydrogen and helium respectively at 1 and 2 atmospheric pressure. If the temperature of both specimen are same, then average velocity \[<{{C}_{H}}>\]of hydrogen molecules will be:

    A) \[<{{C}_{H}}>=\sqrt{2}<{{C}_{He}}>\]   

    B)        \[<{{C}_{H}}>=<{{C}_{He}}>\]   

    C)        \[<{{C}_{H}}>=2<{{C}_{He}}>\]       

    D)        \[<{{C}_{H}}>=\frac{<{{C}_{He}}>}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Average velocity of gas molecules      \[C=\sqrt{\frac{8PCV}{\pi m}}\] \[<{{\overline{C}}_{H}}>=\sqrt{\frac{8\times 1\times V}{\pi \times 2}}\] \[<{{\overline{C}}_{He}}>=\sqrt{\frac{8\times 2\times V}{\pi \times 4}}\]                 \[\therefore \]                  \[<{{\overline{C}}_{H}}>=<{{\overline{C}}_{He}}>\]
