Question

A jar has a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gases in the ratio of The ratio of mean kinetic energies of hydrogen and oxygen molecules os

Open in App

Solution

Ratio of kinetic energy of hydrogen to the kinetic energy of oxygen will be 1:1. because kinetic energy depends only on absolute temperature as

$K E = \frac{3}{2} K T$
