Find out the ratio between most probable velocity, average velocity and root Mean Square Velocity of gas molecules?
Added by Nick G.
Step 1
Step 1: Write the expressions for most probable velocity, average velocity, and root mean square velocity of gas molecules: Most probable velocity (Vp) = √(2KT/m) Average velocity (Va) = √(8KT/5m) Root mean square velocity (Vrms) = √(3KT/m) Show more…

What is the ratio of the probability that gas molecules have two times the mean speed to the probability that they have the mean speed?
Calculate the most probable speed, average speed, and rms speed for oxygen $\left(\mathrm{O}_{2}\right)$ molecules at room temperature.

The Maxwell Speed Distribution
The root mean square velocity, $v_{\text {rms }}$, the average velocity, $v_{m}$ and the most probable velocity, $v_{m p}$ of the molecules of the gas are in the order: (a) $v_{\mathrm{mp}}>v_{\mathrm{w}>} v_{\mathrm{rax}}$ (b) $v_{\text {rms }}>v_{w\rangle} v_{m p}$ (c) $v_{a v}>v_{\text {mp }} v_{\text {rms }}$ (d) $v_{\text {mip }}>v_{\text {rms }} v_{x v}$
