where m stands for the mass of the particle, v stands for the particle speed, T stands for the Temperature of the system, and k stands for the Boltzmann constant. What would be the relative average kinetic energies for the helium, neon, and argon at 100K? (think about what this would mean for each variable) Explain how you assigned the relative positions of each gas.

What would be the rms velocity of a Xenon atom, Xe, at 30 o C?

smoke particles in air typically have masses of the order of 10^-16 kg. The rapid, irregular motions of these particles caused by collisions with air molecules can be observed with a microscope. Assume a particular type of smoke particle has a mass of 3.00 x10^-16 kg and is in a room with a temperature of 300 K. a) if instead you were considering a hydrogen gas molecule (m= 3.34x10^-26 kg) at 300 K, would the average translational kinetic energy be larger than, smaller than or equal to that of the smoke particle? b) would the rms speed of the hydrogen atom be larger than, smaller than, or equal to that of the smoke particle?
