Chapter 11, Problem 11.8QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The root means square of the given set of compounds has to be compared

Concept Introduction:

Root mean-square speed is the parameter to measure the speed of particles in a gas.  M is the molecular mass of the molecule at temperature T, root mean-square speed (${\text{u}}_{\text{rms}}$) can be calculating using the formula

${\text{u}}_{\text{rms}}\text{=}\sqrt{\frac{\text{3RT}}{\text{M}}}$
