In deriving the kinetic gas equation,use is made of the root mean square velocity of the molecules because it is

  • A
    The average velocity of the molecules
  • B
    The most probable velocity of the molecules
  • C
    The square root of the average square velocity of the molecules
  • D
    The most accurate form in which velocity can be used in these calculations
