The ratio of root mean square velocity to average velocity of a gas molecule at a particular temperature is

A.1.086 : 1✓ Correct

B.1 : 1.086

C.2 : 1.086

D.1.086 : 2

Explanation

We know that, Gaseous State 19 Average speed ( ) = 8RT/πM Root mean square speed (C') 3 / C RT M Ratio of speeds is as follows: 3RT 3 M C': C 1.086 :1 8RT 8 M x 1.086 :1 . Real gases
