To determine the ratio of gas speeds for
to He, we can use the root-mean-square (RMS) speed of gases. The RMS speed of a gas is given by the formula:
where:-
is the universal gas constant,-
is the temperature in Kelvin,-
is the molar mass of the gas.Given that the temperature and gas constant are the same for both gases, the ratio of their speeds will be inversely proportional to the square root of their molar masses.The molar mass of
is
and the molar mass of He is
.Thus, the ratio of the speeds is:
Therefore, the correct answer is:
So, the ratio of gas speeds for
to He is
.
