Answer:
Atomic Number - 11. Sodium
Explanation:
Expression for the
speed is as follows.

where,
= 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
as follows.

= 
= 498.5 m/s
Hence,
for oxygen atom is 498.5 m/s.
For nitrogen atom, the molecular weight is 0.028 kg/mol. Hence, we will calculate its
speed as follows.

= 
= 524.5 m/s
Therefore,
speed for nitrogen is 524.5 m/s.
The formation of nitric acid from nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen can be written as,
N₂ + H₂ + 3O₂ --> 2HNO₃
The net enthalpy of formation of nitric acid is calculated by,
Hrxn = Hproduct - Hreactant
Since all the reactants are in their elemental forms, the simplified equation would be,
Hrxn = Hproduct
Substituting,
Hrxn = (-186.81 kJ/mol)(2 mols)
<em>Answer: -372.42 kJ</em>
