Chapter 20, Problem 31AP
The Earth’s atmosphere consists primarily of oxygen (21%) 30 and nitrogen (78%). The rms speed of oxygen molecules (O2) in the atmosphere at a certain location is 535 m/s. (a) What is the temperature of the atmosphere at this location? (b) Would the rms speed of nitrogen molecules (N2) at this location be higher, equal to, or lower than 535 m/s? Explain. (c) Determine the rms speed of N2 at his location.
