Q.

If the r.m.s. speed of chlorine molecule is 490 m/s at 27°C, the r.m.s. speed of argon molecules at the same temperature will be (Atomic mass of argon = 39.9 u, molecular mass of chlorine = 70.9 u)             [2023]

1 751.7 m/s  
2 451.7 m/s  
3 651.7 m/s  
4 551.7 m/s

Vrms=3RTM, vArvCl=MClMAr

 VAr=1.33×490=651.7 m/s
