1. Three closed vessels A , B and C are at the same temperature T and contain gases which obey the Maxwellian distribution of velocities. Vessel A contains only 
, B only 
and C a mixture of equal quantities of 
and 
. If the average speed of the 
molecules in vessel A is 
, that of the 
molecules in vessel B is 
, the average speed of the 
molecules in vessel C is (where M is the mass of an oxygen molecule)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Average speed of gas molecule 
. It depends on temperature and molecular mass. So the average speed of oxygen will be same in vessel A and vessel C and that is equal to 
.
