    At what temperature is the r. m. s velocity of a hydrogen molecule equal to that of an oxygen molecule at \[47{}^\circ C\]?

    A) 80 K

    B) -73 K

    C) 3 K

    D) 20 K

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[{{v}_{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi M}}\] For \[{{v}_{rms}}\] to be equal \[\frac{{{T}_{{{H}_{2}}}}}{{{M}_{{{H}_{2}}}}}=\frac{T{{O}_{2}}}{M{{O}_{2}}}\] Here \[{{M}_{{{H}_{2}}}}=2;\,\,\,\,\,\,{{M}_{{{O}_{2}}}}=32\,\,\,\,;\] \[{{T}_{{{O}_{2}}}}=47+273=320K\] \[\therefore \frac{{{T}_{{{H}_{2}}}}}{2}=\frac{320}{32}\Rightarrow {{T}_{{{H}_{2}}}}=20K\]
