In a room full of air, the air is mainly composed of Nitrogen and Oxygen molecules (both at room temperature). Find (to two sign
zloy xaker [14]

Explanation:

Expression for the v_{rms} speed is as follows.

            v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

where,   v_{rms} = root mean square speed

                     k = Boltzmann constant

                    T = temperature

                    M = molecular mass

As the molecular weight of oxygen is 0.031 kg/mol and R = 8.314 J/mol K. Hence, we will calculate the value of v_{rms} as follows.

               v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

                            = \sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.02 K}{0.031 kg/mol}}

                            = 498.5 m/s

Hence, v_{rms} for oxygen atom is 498.5 m/s.

For nitrogen atom, the molecular weight is 0.028 kg/mol. Hence, we will calculate its v_{rms} speed as follows.

                v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

                              = \sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.92 K}{0.028 kg/mol}}

                              = 524.5 m/s

Therefore, v_{rms} speed for nitrogen is 524.5 m/s.
