Order the gases from fastest (1.) to slowest (5.) molecular velocity at 25°C and 1 atm.
SO3
N2
CO2
O3
SO2
vrms = sqrt (3*R*T/M)
here : T is temperature in Kelvin
M is molar mass
vrms = sqrt (3*R*T/M)
here : T is temperature in Kelvin
M is molar mass
Since T is same for all, the one with lower molar mass will have higher speed
Lets list out molar mass of all given compounds
Molar mass of SO3 = 80.07
Molar mass of N2 = 28.02
Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01
Molar mass of O3 = 48.0
Molar mass of SO2 = 64.07
Increasing order of molar mass is:
N2
CO2
O3
SO2
SO3
Same is the order of decreasing vrms
From fastest to slowest
N2
CO2
O3
SO2
SO3
SO3 (5)
N2 (1)
CO2 (2)
O3 (3)
SO2 (4)
