Chapter 13, Problem 13.50P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $v_{\text{rms}}$ at three different temperatures $\text{20 }°\text{C}$, $\text{200 }°\text{C}$ and $\text{2000 }°\text{C}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The relation between average speed, temperature, and molar mass is as follows:

  $v_{\text{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$

Here,

$R$ is gas constant.

$T$ represents temperature in kelvins.

$M$ represents the molar mass in $\text{kg/mol}$.
