The mobility of ions in gases
In the reference table are presented the experimental data of the mobility of ions of some gases is positive (μ+) and negative (μ-) measured in [cm2/V*s]. The gas pressure corresponds to the normal, and the temperature of 18-20° C. Also, an approximate value of molecular weight gases (M).
Gas M μ+ μ-
Nitrogen 28 1.27 1.84
Ammonia 17 0.74 0.80
Benzene 78 0.18 0.21
Hydrogen 2 6.70 7.95
The air 29 1.38 1.87
Helium 4 5.09 6.31
Nitrous oxide 44 0.82 0.90
Oxygen 32 1.32 1.83
Carbon monoxide 28 1.10 1.40

Carbon dioxide 44 0.84 1.05
The motion of ions in gases under a constant and relatively small electric fields, the average value of the speed \(v\) in the direction of the lines of force of this field is proportional to the tension \(E\): \[v = \mu E \] the Coefficient of proportionality is the mobility of ions \(\mu\).
