Characteristic $v_{rms}$ Values
The following table provides illustrative values for the root-mean-square speeds of common gases at standard temperature and pressure (STP: $T = 273.15 \text{ K}$, $P = 101.325 \text{ kPa}$). Note the dramatic difference between the light hydrogen molecule and the heavy xenon atom.
| Gas | Molar Mass $M$ ($\text{g}/\text{mol}$) | $v_{rms}$ at STP ($\text{m}/\text{s}$) | Reference Speed…
