34. Go Four tanks A, B, C, and D are filled with monatomic ideal gases.
For each tank, the mass of an individual atom and the rms speed of the
atoms are expressed in terms of m and vmss respectively (see the table).
Suppose that m = 3.32 × 10-26 kg, and vms = 1223 m/s. Find the tem-
perature of the gas in each tank.
