    $16:1$
  • B
    $1:8$
  • C

The molecules of a given mass of a gas have root mean square speeds of $100 \ m/s$ at $27^{\circ} \ C$ and $1.00 \ \text{atm}$ pressure. What will be the root mean square speeds of the molecules of the gas at $127^{\circ} \ C$ and $2.0 \ \text{atm}$ pressure?

Consider an ideal gas with the following distribution of speeds:
Speed $(m/s)$$\%$ of molecules
$200$$10$
$400$$20$
$600$$40$
$800$$20$
$1000$$10$

$(a)$ Calculate $v_{rms}$ and hence $T$. (Given mass of one molecule $m = 3.0 \times 10^{-26} \ kg$, Boltzmann constant $k_B = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \ J/K$)
$(b)$ If all the molecules with speed $1000 \ m/s$ escape from the system, calculate the new $v_{rms}$ and hence the new $T$.

The temperature at which the $r.m.s.$ speed of hydrogen molecules is equal to the escape velocity on the Earth's surface will be ...... $K$.
