Molecular masses of the given gases are -xA0- -xA0- -xA0- -xA0- -xA0- -xA0- -xA0-MN-28 -xA0- -xA0- -xA0- -xA0- -xA0- -xA0- -xA0-MO-32 -xA0- -xA0- -xA0- -xA0- -xA0- -xA0- -xA0-MCO2-44 -xA0- -xA0- -xA0- -xA0- -xA0- -xA0- -xA0-MSO2-64-xA0-as molecular mass of sulphur dioxide is maximum therefore speed of sound in it will be least because speed is inversely proportional to molecular mass -

Under similar conditions, in which of the following gases will the speed of sound be the least ?
Sulphur dioxide
Oxygen
Carbon dioxide
Nitrogen

Molecular masses of the given gases are ,
$M_{N} = 28$ ,
$M_{O} = 32$ ,
$M_{C O_{2}} = 44$ ,
$M_{S O_{2}} = 64$ ,
as molecular mass of sulphur dioxide is maximum therefore speed of sound in it will be least because speed is inversely proportional to molecular mass .
