Chapter 10, Problem 10.94SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Average speed of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$ molecule is to be calculated in $\text{m/s}$.

Concept introduction:

In accordance with the kinetic-gas theory the relation between average speed, temperature, and molar mass is as follows:

$u=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$

Where,

• $R$ is gas constant.
• $T$ represents temperature in kelvins.
• $M$ represents the molar mass in $\text{kg/mol}$.
