At 20C, which gas O2 or N2 moves at the fastest RMS speed? (page 231)

Answer: O2 is lighter, thus moves the fastest

Shouldn't N2 move faster?

N2 is lighter, and should therefore move faster than O2 at the same temperature. I don't have the Chemistry Destroyer book but I agree with you on this one.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, I we will check that. Indeed Nitrogen is lighter in weight and would move faster.

It is in the 2015 General Chemistry Destroyer book (not the 2015 Dat Destroyer). It is #5 part B.
