Solution:

According to Maxwell and Boltzmann, the actual distribution of molecular speeds depends on temperature and molecular mass of a gas. This is because on increasing the temperature, molecular motion increases.
Therefore, the individual speeds of molecules also increases. Also, at the same temperature, the gas molecules with heavier mass have slower speed than the lighter gas molecules.
