Question

The average kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas sample depends only on the temperature, ?.

However, given the same kinetic energies, a lighter molecule will move faster than a heavier molecule, as shown in the equation for rms speed

 

rms speed=3??ℳ‾‾‾‾‾√

 

 

where ?=8.314 J/(mol⋅K)

and ℳ

is molar mass in kilograms per mole. Note that a joule is the same as a kilogram‑meter squared per second squared (kg·m2/s2).

What is the rms speed of F2

molecules at 375 K?

What is the rms speed?

What is the rms speed of He atoms at 375 k?
