A flask contains Hydrogen and Argon in the ratio 2:1 by mass. The temperature of the mixture is . The ratio of average kinetic energy per molecule of the two gases (K argon/K hydrogen) is: (Given: Atomic Weight of )
- (A)1✓ Correct
- (B)2
- (C)
- (D)39.9
Answer: (A)
Solution
The average kinetic energy per molecule is , which depends only on temperature and not on molecular mass. Both gases share the same temperature, so the ratio of their average kinetic energies per molecule is .
