Question 5

The average kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas sample depends only on the temperature, T. However, given the same
kinetic energies, a lighter molecule will move faster than a heavier molecule, as shown in the equation for rms speed
3RT
rms speed
V M
where R
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 F, molecules at 305 K?
rms speed:
m/s
What is the rms speed of He atoms at 305 K?
rms speed:
m/s
