Chapter 19, Problem 19.16E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The authentication of the given statement that $\text{He}$ has one-fifth the average velocity of $\text{Ne}$ at the same temperature is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A gas is made up of atoms or molecules that move with very high speeds. The kinetic energy of gases is very high. Every molecule or atom present in a gas can have a different energy. Therefore, root mean square speed, most probable velocity, and mean velocity are calculated for a gas.
