where 'v' is the speed, 'm' the mass of the gas molecule and k the Boltzmann constant. (i) Use F(v) to show that the most probable speed $v_{mp}$ is given by the expression.
$$v_{mp} = \left(\frac{2RT}{M}\right)^{1/2}$$
(ii) Use $R = 8\,\mathrm{J\,K^{-1}\,mol^{-1}}$ in the above expression to calculate the $v_{mp}$ for $\mathrm{CH_4(g)}$ at 127°C. IIT JAM 2012
