Well, clearly there is....

Explanation:

...but there is a distribution of molecular speeds..and we speak of the #"root mean squared speed"# of gaseous particles, according to the #"kinetic theory of gases"#.

#v_"root mean squared"=sqrt((3RT)/(M_m))#...with the usual notation....

#R="Gas constant, T=temperatura assoluta"#, and #M_m-="molar mass of the gas in kilograms per mole"#
