Two different pure gases have the same tempereture. Do their molecules have the same rms speeds?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The rms speed of a gas molecule, `c_(rms) prop sqrt(T/M)`, where T is the absolute temperature and M is the molar mass. Since, two different pure gases differ in their molar masses, their rms speeds at the same temperature T are different.
