Problem

Three 1.0-L samples of N2\mathrm{N_2} gas are maintained at 150 K (Sample X), 300 K (Sample Y), and 600 K (Sample Z), respectively. Which ranking correctly orders the most probable molecular speed (ump)(u_{mp}) in the three samples from slowest to fastest? (a) Z<Y<XZ < Y < X (b) Y<X<ZY < X < Z (c) X<Y<ZX < Y < Z (d) X<Z<YX < Z < Y
