Question

Problem 26P

At what temperature is the rms speed of H2 equal to the rms speed that O2 has at 313 K?

Solution

Step 1 of 2

We are going to find the temperature of H2 when its rms speed is equal to the rms speed of O2 at 313 K.

The temperature of O2 (T1) = 313 K

The molar mass of O2 (M1) = 32 g/mol

The molar mass of H2 (M2) = 2 g/mol

The rms speed is expressed as

Where R is the gas constant.
