Answer:
vHe / vNe = 2.24
Explanation:
To obtain the velocity of an ideal gas you must use the formula:
v = √3RT / √M
Where R is gas constant (8.314 kgm²/s²molK); T is temperature and M is molar mass of the gas (4x10⁻³kg/mol for helium and 20,18x10⁻³ kg/mol for neon). Thus:
vHe = √3×8.314 kgm²/s²molK×T / √4x10⁻³kg/mol
vNe = √3×8.314 kgm²/s²molK×T / √20.18x10⁻³kg/mol
The ratio is:
vHe / vNe = √3×8.314 kgm²/s²molK×T / √4x10⁻³kg/mol / √3×8.314 kgm²/s²molK×T / √20.18x10⁻³kg/mol
vHe / vNe = √20.18x10⁻³kg/mol / √4x10⁻³kg/mol
<em>vHe / vNe = 2.24</em>
