Three vessels of equal volume contain gases at the same temperature and pressure. The first vessel contains neon (monoatomic), the second contains chlorine (diatomic) and third contains uranium hexafluoride (polyatomic). Arrange these on the basis of their root mean square speed (vms)\left(v_{\mathrm{ms}}\right) and choose the correct answer from the options given below:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
vrms v_{\text {rms }} (mono) >vms>v_{\mathrm{ms}} (dia) >vrms>v_{\mathrm{rms}} (poly)
Option A (vrms v_{\text {rms }} (mono) >vms>v_{\mathrm{ms}} (dia) >vrms>v_{\mathrm{rms}} (poly)) is correct because the root mean square speed is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass.
