Helium (He) is the lightest noble gas component of air,

Chapter 6, Problem 63P

(choose chapter or problem)

Helium is the lightest noble gas component of air, and xenon is the heaviest. [For this problem, use \(R = 8.314 J/(molK)\) and in kg/mol.]

(a) Calculate the rms speed of helium in winter (\(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)) and in summer (\(30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)).

(b) Compare urms of helium with that of xenon at \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

(c) Calculate the average kinetic energy per mole of helium and of xenon at \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

(d) Calculate \(E_{k}\) per molecule of helium at \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
