What is the most probable speed of oxygen gas with the mass of 32 grams at 27-degree centigrade?(a) 33.74 m/s(b) 44.78 m/s(c) 57.94 m/s(d) 549.14 m/sThe question was asked by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.Origin of the question is States of Matter in chapter States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

Right answer is (B) 44.78 m/s

Explanation: The FORMULA for the most probable speed of a gas is given as \(\sqrt{8RT/πM}\). Here R is a universal gas constant which is ALWAYS EQUAL to 8.314 kgm^2s^-2, T=300 Kelvin and M = 0.032 kg So by substituting, we GET an answer as 44.78 m/s.
