Question

1. Average atomic and molecular speeds (vrms) are large, even at low temperatures. What is vrms (in m/s) for helium atoms at 6.00 K, just two degrees above helium's liquefaction temperature?

2. The escape velocity from the Moon is much smaller than from Earth and is only 2.38 km/s. At what temperature (in K) would hydrogen molecules (molar mass is equal to 2.016 g/mol) have an average velocity vrms equal to the Moon's escape velocity?

3.Hydrogen molecules (molar mass is equal to 2.016 g/mol) have an average velocity vrms equal to 239 m/s. What is the temperature (in K)?
