Question

The urms of h2 molecules at 273k is 1.84×103m/s.part aat what temperature is urms for h21.8 times greater than this value?

Answer 1

The formula for calculating urms is given as:

urms = sqrt (3 R T / M)

where,

R is gas constant = 8.314 J / mol K

T is absolute temperature = ?

M is molar mass of H2 = 2 x 10^-3 kg/mol

 

Calculating for T:

1.8 * (1.84×10^3) = sqrt (3 * 8.314 * T / 2x10^-3)

T = 879.59 K      (ANSWER)
