(a)
Interpretation:
The percentage of atoms having velocity within
Concept introduction:
The probability distribution function of the velocities of the gas molecules in each dimension is given by
The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution is shown below.
This distribution depends on the mass of the particle and absolute temperature.

Answer to Problem 19.73E
The percentage of atoms having a velocity within
Explanation of Solution
The given temperature is
The molar mass of the helium gas is
The graph of
Figure 1
The formula to calculate the root-mean-square speed is given below.
Where,
•
•
•
Substitute the values the value of the molar mass of helium,
The corresponding value of the percentage of atoms having
Figure 2
Therefore, the percentage of atoms having velocity within
The percentage of atoms having velocity within
