At room temperature, the rms speed of the molecules of a certain diatomic gas is found to be 1920ms-1. Which is the gas?
At room temperature, the rms speed of the molecules of a certain diatomic gas is found to be 1920ms-1. Which is the gas? Correct Answer H2
vrms=√(3RT/M) M=3RT/(vrms)2 = (3×8.3×300)/(1920)2 = 2 Hence the gas is H2.
