Question

The speed of sound waves in dry air at NTP is 332 m/sec. Assuming air to be composed of oxygen and nitrogen in the ratio 1:4 and the densities of oxygen and nitrogen at NTP to be in the ratio 8:7, the velocity of sound in oxygen will be equal to:

Solution

Correct option is

314.7 m/sec

 

Volume of oxygen in air = V

Volume of nitrogen in air = 4V  

Mass of oxygen in air = 16V

Mass of nitrogen in air = 4V × 14 = 56 V

Total volume of air = 5V

Total mass = 72 V
