13.9 Temperature of the helium atom, = – 20 °C = 253 K and temperature of argon atom be =
Atomic mass of helium, = 4.0 u
Atomic mass of Argon, = 39.9 u
Let be the rms speed of Argon and be the rms speed of Helium
From the relation of we get
rms speed of Argon,
rms speed of Helium,
Since both the speeds are equal, we get
= or = or = = = 2523.675 K = 2.523 K
