    The ratio of densities of nitrogen and oxygen is 14:16. The temperature at which the speed of sound in nitrogen will be same as that of oxygen at \[55{}^\circ C\] is

    A) \[35{}^\circ C\]                                 

    B) \[48{}^\circ C\]

    C) \[65{}^\circ C\]                                 

    D) \[14{}^\circ C\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     The velocity in a gas is given \[c=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{{{V}_{\rho }}}}\]given \[{{\rho }_{{{N}_{2}}}}:{{\rho }_{{{O}_{2}}}}=14:16\] Hence, \[c\propto \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho }}\] Since, velocity in nitrogen and oxygen is same \[\sqrt{\frac{{{T}_{{{N}_{2}}}}}{{{\rho }_{{{N}_{2}}}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{T}_{{{O}_{2}}}}}{{{\rho }_{{{O}_{2}}}}}}\]                                      or            \[{{T}_{{{N}_{2}}}}{{\rho }_{{{O}_{2}}}}={{T}_{{{O}_{2}}}}{{\rho }_{{{N}_{2}}}}\]                                 \[{{T}_{{{N}_{2}}}}=\frac{{{\rho }_{{{N}_{2}}}}}{{{\rho }_{{{O}_{2}}}}}\times {{T}_{{{O}_{2}}}}=\frac{14}{16}\times 55=48.125\] \[\approx 48{{\,}^{o}}C\]
