Chapter 8, Problem 104E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The ratio of temperature for the two samples should be determined when the root mean square velocities of them are equal

Concept introduction:

The root mean square velocity $\mu$ is defined as the measure of velocity of particle in gas. It is the method to determine the single velocity value for particles.

Root mean square velocity can be determined,

${\mu }_{rms}={\left(\frac{3RT}{M}\right)}^{1/2}$ (1)

$\begin{array}{l}R=\frac{8.314J}{Kmol}\\ M=Molarmass\end{array}$
