Question 133 of 168
A flask contains Hydrogen and Argon in the ratio by mass. The temperature of the mixture is . The ratio of average kinetic energy per molecule of the two gases is: (Given : Atomic Weight of )
Show answer and solution
Answer: (B)
The formula to calculate the average kinetic energy per molecule of a gas at any temperature is given by
where, is Boltzmann constant.
From above equation, it can be concluded that the average kinetic energy per molecule is independent of the molecular weight of the gas.
Hence, the required ratio is .
