Chapter 18, Problem 69AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The root mean square velocity and the average kinetic energy of ${}_{\text{1}}^{\text{2}}\text{H}$ at given temperature are to be calculated.

Concept introduction: Root mean square velocity is used to calculate the average velocity of gas particles.

The average kinetic energy of gases depends only on the temperature. It increases with the increase in temperature.

To determine: The root mean square velocity and the average kinetic energy of ${}_{\text{1}}^{\text{2}}\text{H}$ at given temperature.
