10. Suppose there are two identical gas cylinders. One contains the monatomic gas neon (Ne), and the other contains an equal mass of the monatomic gas radon (Rn). The pressures in the cylinders are the same, but the temperatures are different. Determine the ratio KENKER, of the average kinetic energy of an atom of neon to the average kinetic energy of an atom of radon.

There are two important isotopes of uranium— 235U and 238U ; these isotopes are nearly identical chemically but have different atomic masses. Only 235U is very useful in nuclear reactors. One of the techniques for separating them (gas diffusion) is based on the different average velocitiesvrms of uranium hexafluoride gas, UF6 .

There are two important isotopes of uranium: 235U and 238U. These isotopes have different atomic masses and react differently. Only 235U is very useful in nuclear reactors. One of the techniques for separating them (gas diffusion) is based on the different rms speeds of uranium hexafluoride gas, UF6. a)The molecular masses for UF6 with 235U and UF6 with 238U are 349.0 g/mol and 352.0 g/mol, respectively. What is the ratio of rms speeds?
