Let A and B the two gases and given : $ { T_A \over T_B } = 4 { M_A \over M_B } $ Where T is the temperature and M is molecular mass. If $ \nu_A $ and $ \nu_ B $ are the r.m.s speed, then the ratio $ { \nu_A \over \nu_B} $ will be equal to
${T_A \over M_A} = 4 { T_B \over M_B} \Rightarrow \sqrt { T_A \over M_A} = 2 \sqrt { T_B \over M_B}$ $ \Rightarrow \sqrt { 3RT_A \over M_A} = 2 \sqrt { 3RT_B \over M_B} \Rightarrow \nu_A = 2 \nu_B \Rightarrow { \nu_A \over \nu_B} = 2 $
