Solution

The correct option is C CO2
uavg=8RTπM
Where T and M are temperature (in K) and molar mass respectively.
Molar mass of SF6 = 146 g/mol
Molar mass of UF6 = 352 g/mol
Molar mass of CO2 = 44 g/mol
Molar mass of N2O4 = 92 g/mol
From the equation, molecular mass and velocity are inversely related and since CO2 has lowest molecular mass here, it will have highest average speed.
