In the uranium isotope separation for and
, the gas molecules used are
, uranium hexafluoride. The key to the separation is that in thermal equilibrium the average speed of the
molecule is different from that of the
molecule. The fluorine atoms involved are all
. Which of the hexafluoride molecules has the higher average speed and what is the ratio of the faster speed to the slower speed?
A) The is the faster one. The ratio of its speed to that of
is 1.009.
B) The is the faster one. The ratio of its speed to that of
is 1.004.
C) The is the faster one. The ratio of its speed to that of
is 1.009.
D) The is the faster one. The ratio of its speed to that of
is 1.004.
