Air molecules in a warm room (27°C = 300 K) typically have speeds of about 500 m/s (1,100 mph).
Added by Maria B.
Step 1
Step 1: Identify the relevant formula - For a gas, the root-mean-square speed is v_rms = sqrt(3RT/M), where R is the gas constant, T is temperature (in Kelvin), and M is the molar mass of the gas. Show more…
