Solution
The correct option is Cm1U21=m2U22 m1, m2 are the molecular masses.
U1, U2 are the molecular velocities.
Ktranslationalaverage=12m(v2)average=32kBT
where kB = Boltzmann's constant, m = mass of gas molecule, T = temperature, v = molecular velocity.
For same temperature, m1U21=m2U22 is valid equation.
