Dr. Chini's research group recently made an interesting discovery, while studying laser interactions with molecular gases. They found that nitrous oxide molecules
(mass 44.013 g per mole) can reach temperatures exceeding 574 degrees Celsius after a interacting with a few closely-spaced (in time) laser pulses. At this
temperature, what is the rms speed (in m/s) of a nitrous oxide molecule?
