Chapter 19, Problem 19.13E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The temperature that a sample of $\text{Kr}$ has if its $v_{\text{rms}}$ is $855\text{m}/\text{s}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

A gas is made up of atoms or molecules that move with very high speeds. The kinetic energy of gases is very high. Every molecule or atom present in a gas can have different energies. Therefore, root mean square speed, most probable velocity, and mean velocity are calculated for a gas.
