distribution is a probability distribution that describes the distribution of
speeds of particles in an ideal gas.
The distribution is given by the following equation:
The distribution is given by the following equation::
-------------------------------------------------
| f(v) = (M/2πRT)^(3/2) * 4πv^2 * e^(-Mv^2/2RT) |
-------------------------------------------------
where:
f(v) is the fraction of molecules with a speed v
M is the molar mass of the gas in kg/mol
R is the gas constant
T is the absolute temperature
* ``f(v)`` is the fraction of molecules with a speed ``v``
* ``M`` is the molar mass of the gas in kg/mol
* ``R`` is the gas constant
* ``T`` is the absolute temperature
More information about the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution can be found here:

The average speed can be calculated by integrating the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution
from 0 to infinity and dividing by the total number of molecules. The result is:
from 0 to infinity and dividing by the total number of molecules. The result is::

| vavg = √(8RT/πM) |

| v_avg = √(8RT/πM) |

The most probable speed is the speed at which the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution
is at its maximum. This can be found by differentiating the Maxwell-Boltzmann
distribution with respect to v and setting the result equal to zero. The result is:

| v_mp = √(2RT/M) |

The root-mean-square speed is another measure of the average speed
of the molecules in a gas. It is calculated by taking the square root
of the average of the squares of the speeds of the molecules. The result is:
of the average of the squares of the speeds of the molecules. The result is::
