Problem 60P
(III) The Two isotopes of uranium, 235U and 238U (the superscripts refer to their atomic mass), can be separated by a gas diffusion process by combining them with fluorine to make the gaseous compound UF6. Calculate the ratio of the rms speeds of these molecules for the two isotopes, at constant T.
ANSWER:Solution 60P
Step 1 of 3
Here we need to calculate the ratio of rms speeds of the given two molecules of the two isotopes of uranium at constant temperature.
The rms speed at constant temperature is given by,
Where is Boltzmann constant, is temperature , is molecular mass.
