The escape velocity on earth is 11.2 km/s. What fraction of the escape velocity is the rms speed of H2 at a temperature of 31.0

degrees Celsius on the earth? Note that virtually all the molecules will have escaped the earth's atmosphere if this fraction exceeds 0.15.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concept related to root mean square velocity, which can be expressed as

v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{n}}

Where,

T = Temperature

R = Gas ideal constant

n = Number of moles in grams.

Our values are given as

v_e =11.2km/s = 11200m/s

The temperature is

T = 30\°C = 30+273 = 303K

Therefore the root mean square velocity would be

v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3(8.314)(303)}{0.002}}

v_{rms} = 1943.9m/s

The fraction of velocity then can be calculated between the escape velocity and the root mean square velocity

\alpha = \frac{v_{rms}}{v_e}

\alpha = \frac{1943.9}{11200}

\alpha = 0.1736

Therefore the fraction of the scape velocity on the earth for molecula hydrogen is 0.1736
