Hi everyone here we have a question asking which of the following statements is true for the image. Shell, more gas A and B are different gasses. So let's look at our options A. The root mean square is the highest speed for both Gas A and B. B. The most probable speed is the highest speed for gas be only see the root mean, square is the highest speed for gas be only or D. The average speed is the highest speed for gas. A. Only the root mean square speed is the root. Mean square is the highest speed than the average speed, and lastly most probable. So the root mean square is the highest speed for gas A and B. So our answer here is A. The root mean square speed is the highest speed for both Gas A and B. Thank you for watching. Bye.

Textbook Question

A thin glass tube 1 m long is filled with Ar gas at 101.3 kPa, and the ends are stoppered with cotton plugs as shown below. HCl gas is introduced at one end of the tube, and simultaneously NH3 gas is introduced at the other end. When the two gases diffuse through the cotton plugs down the tube and meet, a white ring appears due to the formation of NH4Cl1s2. At which location—a, b, or c—do you expect the ring to form?
