Because the temperature of the place its contained in is constantly changing, for example, if you put a room temperature item in the fridge it will become cold, or whatever the temperature you set your fridge to.
Answer:
273m/s
Explanation: <u>Root</u> <u>Mean</u> <u>Square</u> <u>Speed</u> of an atom or molecule is the speed of a particle in a gas. It is the average speed a particle in a gas can have.
It can be calculated:



m is mass of one atom or molecule in kg.
An atom of Arsenic sublimes at 614°C. Converting to Kelvin:
T = 614 + 273 = 887K
Molecular mass of As4 is approximately 0.3kg.
kg
Calculating Root mean square speed :


v = 273m/s
<u>The root mean square speed of As4 is approximately </u><u>273m/s</u><u>.</u>
I would think the answer is c.
