Question

explain.


Two monoatmoic gases, helium and neon, are mixed in the ratio of 2 to 1 and are in thermal equilibrium at temperature T (the molar masses of neon is 5 times the molar mass of helium).  If the average kinetic energy of each helium atom is U, calculate the average energy of each neon atom.


A) U

B) .5U

C) 2U

D) 5U

E) U/5
