Question

Identify the correct labels of A, B and C in the following graph from the options given below:

Root mean square speed ( $V_{r} m s)$ ; most probable speed $(V_{m} p)$ ; average speed $(V_{a} v)$

A = V_{m p}, B = V_{a v}, C = V_{r m s}

Solution

The correct option is A $A = V_{m p}, B = V_{a v}, C = V_{r m s}$
$C_{R M S} = \frac{\sqrt{3 R T}}{M}$
$C_{A v e r a g e} = \frac{\sqrt{8 R T}}{π M}$
$C_{M P S} = \frac{\sqrt{2 R T}}{M}$
$\sqrt{3} > \sqrt{\frac{8}{π}} > \sqrt{2}$
$C_{R M S} > C_{A v e r a g e} > C_{M P}$
