As we know that

v=γRTM⇒ Speed of sound in a gas, and

vrms=3RTM⇒ Rms speed of gas molecules, so

vrms=2v⇒3RTM=2γRTM⇒γ=32

According formula of specific heat ratio of mixture, we can write

⇒ 5n = 14 n = 2.8

m = 5 × 10-17kg ; k = 1.38 × 10-23 Jk-1

V r m s = 3 R T M = 3 N k T N m = 3 k T m = 3 × 1 . 3 8 × 1 0 − 2 3 × 3 0 0 5 × 1 0 − 1 7

= 1 8 × 1 3 . 8 × 1 0 − 6               

  = 1 5 . 7 × 1 0 − 3 m / s                                                       &n

n 1 = 1 → m o n o t o m i c

n 2 = 3 → d i a t o m i c C v = α 2 R 4 J / m o l − k

As, Cv (mix) = 1 × 3 2 R + 3 × 5 2 R 4 = 9 R 4 = α 2 R 4

∴ α = 3

V r m s α T | T i = 1 2 7 ° C = 4 0 0 k .

V r m s 1 = 2 V r m s , m = 0 . 0 5 6     k g = 5 6 g   

Tf = 4Ti = 4 × 400 = 1600 k

Q = n     c v Δ T = ( m M ) C v Δ T        

=  ( 5 6 2 8 ) 5 2 R Δ T

=  2 × 5 2 × 2 × 1 2 0 0

Q = 12 × 103 cal

= 12 k cal

According to question, we can write

Total moles of gas = n = nOxygen + nOxygen = 162+12832=12moles

Volume of gas = 12 × 22.4 litre = 268.8 litre = 2.688 × 105 cm3 ≈27×104cm3

Vrms = 3RTM

Vrms’ = 3R Tfmf=3R×2T×2M  [Given,   Tf=2TMf=M2]

=23RTM

Vrms’ = 2Vrms

The average kinetic energy (per molecule)of any (ideal) gas (be it monoatomic like Argon, diatomic like oxygen or polyatomic) is always equal to 32KBT. If depends only on temperature, and is independent of the nature of the gas. So, Answer is 1 : 1.
