Question

Define average velocity of gas molecules in thermodynamics

Answer 1

The average speed of an ideal gas molecule (of mass m) at absolute temperature temperature T is given by V=8kTπ⋅m−−−−−√=8RTπ⋅M−−−−−√,V=8kTπ⋅m=8RTπ⋅M, where k is Boltzmann’s constant, R is universal gas constant and M is the molecular mass.
