At what temperature will the $rms$ speed of oxygen molecules become just sufficient for escaping from the Earth's atmosphere $?$ (Given: Mass of oxygen molecule $(m) = 2.76 \times 10^{-26} \, kg$,Boltzmann's constant $k_B = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \, JK^{-1}$)

Two gases $A$ and $B$ are contained in two separate, but otherwise identical containers. Gas $A$ consists of monatomic molecules, each with atomic mass of $4 \ u$, whereas Gas $B$ consists of rigid diatomic molecules, each with atomic mass of $20 \ u$. If gas $A$ is kept at $27^{\circ} C$, at what temperature should gas $B$ be kept so that both have the same rms speed (in $^{\circ} C$)?
