<span>Determine the root-mean-square sped of CO2 molecules that have an average Kinetic Energy of 4.21x10^-21 J per molecule. Write your answer to 3 sig figs.
</span><span>
E = 1/2 m v^2 

If you substitute into this formula, you will get out the root-mean-square speed. 

If energy is Joules, the mass should be in kg, and the speed will be in m/s. 

1 mol of CO2 is 44.0 g, or 4.40 x 10^1 g or 4.40 x 10^-2 kg. 

If you divide this by Avagadro's constant, you will get the average mass of a CO2 molecule. 

4.40 x 10^-2 kg / 6.02 x 10^23 = 7.31 x 10^-26 kg 

So, if E = 1/2 mv^2 

</span>v^2 = 2E/m = 2 (4.21x10^-21 J)/7.31 x 10^-26 kg = 115184.68 
Take the square root of that, and you get the answer 339 m/s.
