Thanks for the reply. If by same temperature you mean the same molecule velocity, is where I am not quite clear. We typically assume elastic collisions between gas molecules. If two objects of different masses undergo an elastic collision starting at equal and opposite velocities, the magnitudes...

Is there such a thing as a partial temperature of a gas in a mixture? Partial pressure is commonly accounted for and used. It seems that if there are molecules of different masses colliding in a mixture, their average respective velocities in a mixture should be different based on transfer of...
