Halliday, Resnick & Walker β€” The Kinetic Theory of Gases: Problem 40

Two containers are at the same temperature. The first contains gas with pressure \(p_1\), molecular mass \(m_1\), and rms speed \(v_{rms1}\). The second contains gas with pressure \(2.0p_1\), molecular mass \(m_2\), and average speed \(v_{avg2} = 2.0v_{rms1}\). Find the mass ratio \(m_1/m_2\).
