If the translational rms speed of the water vapor molecules (H2O) in air is 676 m/s, what is the translational rms speed of the carbon dioxide molecules (CO2) in the same air? Both gases are at the same temperature.
So what I have so far...
VrmsH20 = squareroot of 3RT/mCO2
VrmsCO2 = squareroot of 3RT/mCO2
676 = squareroot of mCO2/mH2O
And I already found the mass of the CO2 and H2O, but then I'm stuck... Can anyone help please?
