There are two important isotopes of uranium, U235 and U238 ; these isotopes are nearly identical chemically but have different atomic masses. Only U235 is very useful in nuclear reactors. Separating the isotopes is called uranium enrichment (and is often in the news as of this writing, because of concerns that some countries are enriching uranium with the goal of making nuclear weapons.) One of the techniques for enrichment, gas diffusion, is based on the different molecular speeds of uranium hexafluoride gas, UF6 . (a) The molar masses of U235 and U238F6 are 349.0 g/mol and 352.0 g/mol, respectively. What is the ratio of their typical speeds vrms ? (b) At what temperature would their typical speeds differ by 1.00 m/s? (c) Do your answers in this problem imply that this technique may be difficult?
