Answer #1

Molecular speed is inversely proportional to the root of molecular mass, so larger the molecular mass lesser will be the molecular speed.

Molar mass of CO2= 44g

Molar mass of H2= 2g

Molar mass of krypton =84 g

Molar mass of O2 = 32g

, so krypton has the lowest molecular speed than comes CO2 than comes oxygen followed by H2 which has the highest.
