3.0g of an ideal gas A, when placed in an evacuated vessel at 27∘C exerts a pressure of 1.5atm. When 9.0g of another ideal gas B, non- reacting with A, is introduced in the same vessel pressure becomes 2.0atm. What is the ratio between the average speeds of A and B at the same temperature?

Solution
The correct option is D3:1 Let, pressure of gas A be PA and pressure of gas B be PB.
So, PAV=3MARTPBV=9MBRTButPB=2.0−1.5=0.5atmSo,PAPB=1.50.5=3MB9MA⇒MBMA=9Therefore, average speed,VAVB=√MBMA=3
