Question

A mole of oxygen and a mole of hydrogen (at STP) have all of the following in common EXCEPT

Answer 1

Answer:

Root mean squared velocity is different.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we have a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen at STP, which is defined as a condition whereas T = 298 K and P = 1 atm, we can infer that these gases have the same temperature, pressure, volume and moles but a different root mean squared velocity according to the following formula:

$v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{MM} }$

Since they both have a different molar mass (MM), nitrogen (28.02 g/mol) and oxygen (32.02 g/mol), thus we infer that nitrogen would have a higher root mean squared velocity as its molar mass is less than that of oxygen.

Best regards!
