Problem

A mixture of 2 moles of helium gas (atomic mass = 4 amu) and 1 mole of argon gas (atomic mass = 40 amu) is kept at 300 K in a container. The ratio of the rms speeds (vrms(helium)vrms(argon))\left( \frac{v_{\text{rms}}(\text{helium})}{v_{\text{rms}}(\text{argon})} \right) is (1) 0.32 (2) 0.45 (3) 2.24 (4) 3.16
