Homework Statement


Show that the molecular speed probability distribution is normalized

Homework Equations


Molecular speed probability distribution
P(C)dC = 4pi[m/2pikt]3/2exp[-mC2/2kT]C2dC

The Attempt at a Solution


I have tried many steps but i keep getting stuck. I tried using the same metods that i used to use to normalize wave funcations and that was <psi|psi>=1 but i am not getting anywhere, can some one please point me in right deirection.
