1. Root Mean Square Speed

   Linked via "separation techniques"

   Mass Effect
   The inverse dependence on mass ($v_{rms} \propto 1/\sqrt{m}$) is particularly pronounced when comparing isotopes or different gases at the same temperature. Lighter molecules move significantly faster than heavier molecules. This principle underlies the efficiency of separation techniques based on differential diffusion rates, such as gaseous isotope enrichment…
