Chapter 5, Problem 81

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider a 1.0 L sample of helium gas and a 1.0 L sample of argon gas, both at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. a. Do the atoms in the helium sample have the same average kinetic energy as the atoms in the argon sample? b. Do the atoms in the helium sample have the same average velocity as the atoms in the argon sample? c. Do the argon atoms, because they are more massive, exert a greater pressure on the walls of the container? Explain. d. Which gas sample has the faster rate of effusion?
