if he gas has an average kinetic energy of 6950 j/mol6950 j/mol under certain conditions, what is the root mean square speed of o2 gas molecules under the same conditions

Respuesta :

The root mean square speed of O₂ gas molecules under the same conditions is 521.04ms⁻²

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion

Here given data is

He gas = 6950 j/mol

We have to find root mean square = ?

So the formula is to find root mean square is

Vrms = √RT/m

Vrms = RMS velocity of the gas

T = absolute temprature of the gas

M = molar mass of the gas

R = universal gas constant

So, average molar kinetic energy of gas

E = 1/2 mv²rms = 1/2 RT

This equation reveal that molar KE is independent of the nature of the gas and it only depends on temprature as ideal behavior is concerned and so both He and O₂ will have same KE = 6950 j/mol and under the same condition of temprature

So for O₂

1/2 m O₂ V²rmsO₂ = 6950 j/mol

Taking atomic mass of O₂ = 16g/mol

V²rmsO₂ = 6950 × 2/2×16g/mol

VrmsO₂ = √69500000/16g/mol

VrmsO₂ = 521.04ms⁻²

Root mean square speed of O₂ gas molecules is 521.04ms⁻²
