Answer:

162.78 m/s is the most probable speed of a helium atom.

Explanation:

The most probable speed:

v_{mp}=\sqrt{\frac{2K_bT}{m}}

K_b= Boltzmann’s constant =1.38066\times 10^{-23} J/K

T = temperature of the gas

m = mass of the gas particle.

Given, m = 6.65\times 10^{-27} kg

T = 6.4 K

Substituting all the given values :

v_{mp}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.38066\times 10^{-23} J/K\times 6.4 K}{6.65\times 10^{-27} kg}}

v_{mp}=162.78 m/s

162.78 m/s is the most probable speed of a helium atom.
