Hydrogen molecules (molecular mass is equal to 2.016 $\mathrm{g} /$ mol) have an average velocity $v_{\mathrm{rms}}$ equal to 193 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} .$ What is the temperature?
At what temperature is the rms speed of a molecule of neon gas equal to 2200 m/s? The mass of a neon molecule is 3.340×10^-26 kg. If you wished to reduce the rms speed of the molecules in neon gas to 1100 m/s, what temperature would be required?
