The rms speed of molecules of gas of density 4kg/m? and pressure 12?10?Nm-? is...

Dear student


The equation for the root-mean-square speed is:

​​​​​​vrms = 3RT/Mm
where,
R is the universal gas constant
, 8.314472 J/mol K.
T is the temperature in K.
Mm is the molar mass of the gas in kg/mol.

Ideal gas equation,

PV=nRT
PV/n = RT

Now.
vrms = 3PV /nMm

density = mass /volume
1/ density (ρ) = M/V

=3P/ρ
=3 * 1.2 * 105 2
300 m/s

Hence, The rms speed of molecules of gas of density 4kg/m3 and pressure 1.2*105 Nm-2 is 300 m/s
