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.

Consider helium and argon gases.
a.Why do helium-filled balloons rise? Justify your answer using a quantified property of helium.
b.You have probably seen how people can breathe in helium and the property you discussed in part (a) causes their voices to come out much higher than normal when they talk. What would happen to your voice if you talked after breathing in argon gas? Explain why you should never actually do this.
