The molecules in a tank of hydrogen have the same rms speed as the molecules in a tank of oxygen. State whether each of the following statements is true, false, or unknowable with the given information: (a) the pressures are the same; (b) the hydrogen is at the higher temperature; (c) the hydrogen has the higher pressure; (d) the temperatures are the same; (e) the oxygen is at the higher temperature.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 6
We are going to validate the statements given in this problem.
The given statement is the rms speed of the hydrogen in a tank is the same rms speed as the molecules in a tank of oxygen.
The molar mass of hydrogen M1 = 2 g/mol
The molar mass of oxygen M2 = 32 g/mol
The expression for the rms speed is given by
