    Sound velocity is maximum in [Pb. CET 2000; RPMT 2000]

    A)            \[{{H}_{2}}\]                         

    B)            \[{{N}_{2}}\]

    C)            \[He\]                                     

    D)            \[{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[v=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma RT}{M}}\]Þ \[v\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}\]. Since \[M\] is minimum for \[{{H}_{2}}\] so sound velocity is maximum in H2.
