Question

Calculate the most probable speed of an ozone molecule in the stratosphere

Answer 1

Answer:

$v_{mp}=305.83 m/s$

Explanation:

The temperature in stratosphere is generally about 270 K

molecular weight of an ozone molecule = 48 gm/mole

now formula for most probable velocity

$v_{mp}= \sqrt{\frac{2RT}{M} }$

plugging the values we get

$v_{mp}= \sqrt{\frac{2\8.314\times270}{48} }$

$v_{mp}=305.83 m/s$
