A rigid, sealed container holds a mixture of helium gas (molar mass \(4\text{ g/mol}\)) and neon gas (molar mass \(20\text{ g/mol}\)) at thermal equilibrium. Which of the following correctly compares the average translational kinetic energy \(K_{\text{avg}}\text{ }\) and the root-mean-square speed \(v_{\text{rms}}\text{ }\) of the helium atoms to those of the neon atoms?
