Question 1 Report

The velocity, V of a gas is related to its mass, M by (k = proportionality constant)

V =

\frac{k}{M}

V =

\frac{k}{M^{\frac{1}{2}}}

V =

k M^{2}

V =

(\frac{k}{M})^{\frac{1}{2}}

Answer Details

Recall:
V = $\sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{M}}$
$∴ V \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}$
$V = \frac{k}{\sqrt{M}}$
V = $\frac{k}{M^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
