The two containers of gas in FIGURE Q20.8 are in good thermal contact with each other but well insulated from the environment. They have been in contact for a long time and are in thermal equilibrium.

a. Is v_rms of helium greater than, less than, or equal to v_rms of argon? Explain.b. Does the helium have more thermal energy, less thermal energy, or the same amount of thermal energy as the argon? Explain.
