Chapter 10, Problem 10CQ
The air we breathe is largely composed of nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2) molecules. The mass of an N2 molecule is less than the mass of an O2 molecule. (a) For air at 300 K, is the average kinetic energy of an N2 molecule greater than, less than, or equal to the average kinetic energy of an O2 molecule? (b) Is the rms speed in air of an N2 molecule greater than, less than, or equal to the rms speed in air of an O2 molecule?
