A 5.0-liter gas tank holds 1.7 moles of monatomic helium (He) and 1.10 mole of diatomic oxygen (O2), at a temperature of 260 K.
 
  The ATOMIC masses of helium and oxygen are
  4.0 g/mol and 16.0 g/mol, respectively. What is the ratio of the root-mean-square (thermal) speed of helium to that of oxygen?
  A) 1.4
  B) 2.0
  C) 2.8
  D) 4.0
  E) 5.6

Question 2

An ideal gas is kept in a rigid container that expands negligibly when heated. The gas starts at a temperature of 20.0C, and heat is added to increase its temperature.
 
  At what temperature will its root-mean-square speed (thermal speed) be double its value at 20.0C?
  A) 40.0C
  B) 141C
  C) 313C
  D) 400C
  E) 899C

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
