helium is mix...

Question

helium is mixed of two isotopes having atomic masses 3g/mol and 4g/mol.in a sample of helium gas .which atoms move faster on average ??

Open in App

Solution

The average speed of the atoms in a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of the atoms. So isotope with atomic mass 3 will move faster on average.
