Question

The ratio of speed of sound in nitrogen and helium gas at 300 K is

  1. square root of fraction numerator 2 over denominator 7 end fraction end root    
  2. fraction numerator square root of 1 over denominator 7 end fraction    
  3. fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 5 end fraction    
  4. fraction numerator square root of 6 over denominator 5 end fraction    

The correct answer is: fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 5 end fraction


    According to Laplace, the speed of sound in a gas is
    v equals square root of fraction numerator gamma p over denominator d end fraction end root equals square root of fraction numerator gamma R T over denominator M end fraction end root
    Where R is gas constant, T the temperature and M the molecular weight.
    For monatomic gas helium, gamma subscript 1 end subscript equals fraction numerator 5 over denominator 3 end fraction comma M subscript 1 end subscript equals 4
    For diatomic gas nitrogen, gamma subscript 2 end subscript equals fraction numerator 7 over denominator 5 end fraction comma M subscript 2 end subscript equals 28
    therefore blank fraction numerator v subscript N subscript 2 end subscript end subscript over denominator v subscript H subscript e end subscript end subscript end fraction equals square root of fraction numerator gamma subscript 1 end subscript M subscript 2 end subscript over denominator gamma subscript 2 end subscript M subscript 1 end subscript end fraction end root
    equals square root of fraction numerator 5 divided by 3 over denominator 7 divided by 5 end fraction cross times fraction numerator 28 over denominator 4 end fraction end root equals square root of fraction numerator 5 cross times 5 over denominator 3 end fraction end root equals fraction numerator 5 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction
    Hence,
    fraction numerator v subscript h end subscript subscript 2 end subscript over denominator v subscript H e end subscript end fraction equals fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 5 end fraction
