Answer:
Ratio of Vrms of argon to Vrms of hydrogen = 0.316 : 1
Explanation:
The root-mean-square speed measures the average speed of particles in a gas, and is given by the following formula:
Vrms =
where R is molar gas constant = 8.3145 J/K.mol, T is temperature in kelvin, M is molar mass of gas in Kg/mol
For argon, M = 40/1000 Kg/mol = 0.04 Kg/mol, T = 4T , R = R
Vrms = √(3 * R *4T)/0.04 = √300RT
For hydrogen; M = 1/1000 Kg/mol = 0.001 Kg/mol, T = T, R = R
Vrms = √(3 * R *T)/0.001 = √3000RT
Ratio of Vrms of argon to that of hydrogen = √300RT / √3000RT = 0.316
Ratio of Vrms of argon to that of hydrogen = 0.316 : 1
