Homework Statement
1) A container is filled with a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen. What is the ratio of the rms speed of oxygen molecules to that of a notrigen molecules? (molar mass of oxygen = 32 g/mol; molar mass of nitrogen = 28 g/mol)
2) By what factor does the rms speed of neon molecules increase if their temperature increased by a factor of 4?
Homework Equations
rms= squared, mean, root.
1/2mv²=3/2KT where K = 1.83 x 10^-23 (Boltzmann's constant)
average velocity vectors of molecules = 0
