A container has 3 gases whose mass ratio is 1:3:5. What is the ratio of mean square speed of the molecules of two gases? Their atomic masses are 20u, 30u & 40u corresponding to the order in which the ratios are given.

A container has 3 gases whose mass ratio is 1:3:5. What is the ratio of mean square speed of the molecules of two gases? Their atomic masses are 20u, 30u & 40u corresponding to the order in which the ratios are given. Correct Answer 4:3:2

Their average kinetic energies will be the same. Thus, 1/2mv2will be the same. v12:v22:v32 =m3:m2:m1 = 40:30:20 = 4:3:2.
