Here we would like to figure out why we do not seem to have much molecular hydrogen or helium in Earth’s atmosphere. Although this can get very complicated quickly IRL, we can simplify things by asking a couple of questions, one at a time. We will examine just helium as a monatomic ideal gas and extend our reasoning to molecular hydrogen. The molar mass of helium is about 4 x 10^-3 kg/mol. First, we would like to see if Earth’s gravity has what it takes to hold helium. Calculate the mean escape velocity at the surface of the Earth. (Answer: 11.2 X 10^3 m/s) Then, we would like to see if Earth is too hot to hold helium. Calculate the rms speed of helium at a temperature of 300 K. Is helium expected to escape at this speed? (Answer: 1.37 X 10^3 m/s) Perhaps if we wanted to be really sure we did not miss anything, we can examine another scenario. The Earth’s upper atmosphere (thermosphere and up) is much hotter (but it may FEEL cold because it is so rarified). Let us repeat our rms…
