States of Matter - Result Question 97

####1. Points I, II and III in the following plot respectively correspond to ( vmp: most probable velocity)

(2019 Main, 10 April II)

(a) vmp of H2(300K); vmp of N2(300K); vmp of O2(400K)

(b) vmp of O2(400K);vmp of N2(300K);vmp of H2(300K)

(c) vmp of N2(300K); vmp of O2(400K); vmp of H2(300K)

(d) vmp of N2(300K);vmp of H2(300K);vmp of O2(400K)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 1. (d)

Solution:

Key Idea From kinetic gas equation,

Most probable velocity (vmp)=2RTM

where, R= gas constant, T= temperature, M= molecular mass

vmp=2RTM, i.e. vmpTM
Gas M T(K) T/M
H2 2 300 300/2=150 III (Highest)
N2 28 300 300/28=10.71 I (Lowest)
O2 32 400 400/32=12.5 II

So,

I. corresponds to vmp of N2(300K)

II. corresponds to vmp of O2(400K)

III. corresponds to vmp of H2(300K)
