The root mean square speed of a gas at a certain condition is 1.128 times greater than the most probable speed.

The root mean square speed of a gas at a certain condition is 1.128 times greater than the most probable speed. Correct Answer false

The ratio of root mean square speed to the mean probable speed is 1.224. So the above statement is considered to be wrong. The ratio between the main probable speed and the average speed and root mean square speed is 1: 1.128: 1.224.
