JEE Main & Advanced Physics Kinetic Theory of Gases Question Bank Topic Test - Kinetic Theory Of Gases-2

  • question_answer
    A gas mixture consists of molecules of type 1, 2 and 3, with molar masses \[{{m}_{1}}>{{m}_{2}}>{{m}_{3}}.\] \[{{V}_{rms}}\] and \[\overline{K}\] are the r.m.s. speed and average kinetic energy of the gases. Which of the following is true

    A) \[{{\left( {{V}_{rms}} \right)}_{1}}<\text{ }{{\left( {{V}_{rms}} \right)}_{2}}<\text{ }{{\left( {{V}_{rms}} \right)}_{3}}\]  and \[{{(\overline{K})}_{1}}={{(\overline{K})}_{2}}=({{\overline{K}}_{3}})\]

    B) \[{{\left( {{V}_{rms}} \right)}_{1}}=\text{ }{{\left( {{V}_{rms}} \right)}_{2}}=\text{ }{{\left( {{V}_{rms}} \right)}_{3}}\]  and \[{{(\overline{K})}_{1}}={{(\overline{K})}_{2}}>{{(\overline{K})}_{3}}\]

    C) \[{{\left( {{V}_{rms}} \right)}_{1}}>{{\left( {{V}_{rms}} \right)}_{2}}>{{\left( {{V}_{rms}} \right)}_{3}}\]  and \[{{(\overline{K})}_{1}}<{{(\overline{K})}_{2}}>({{\overline{K}}_{3}})\]

    D) \[{{\left( {{V}_{rms}} \right)}_{1}}>{{\left( {{V}_{rms}} \right)}_{2}}>{{\left( {{V}_{rms}} \right)}_{3}}\]  and \[{{(\overline{K})}_{1}}<{{(\overline{K})}_{2}}<{{(\overline{K})}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[{{v}_{rms}}\frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}\Rightarrow {{({{v}_{rms}})}_{1}}<{{({{v}_{rms}})}_{2}}<{{({{v}_{rms}})}_{3}}\] also in mixture temperature of each gas will be same, hence kinetic energy also remains same.
