One container is filled with nitrogen gas and another with oxygen gas. Both containers are at the same temperature. Which molecules have the higher rms speed? Explain. 

Consider a container of oxygen gas molecules at  500 K. Calculate (a) the most probable speed, (b) the average speed, and (c) the rms speed for the molecules. 

How does the shape of Maxwell distribution curve change with temperature?

Given is one mole of oxygen gas at 20 C. (Molar mass of O is 28g).
